In Hidden Pictures, dive into a world where innocence meets the uncanny. This thrilling novel by Jason Rekulak begins with Mallory Quinn, an ex-rehab patient who takes a job as a nanny for the Maxwell family. Excited about the opportunity, she finds a sense of stability looking after five-year-old Teddy, whose seemingly innocent sketches uncover a much darker reality.
Mallory’s days start peacefully, filled with routine and nighttime runs, but the tranquility quickly shifts as she discovers something unsettling: Teddy’s art goes from simple doodles to lifelike drawings that narrate a chilling tale. The drawings, initially innocent—trees and playful rabbits—transform into something sinister—a figure in a forest dragging a lifeless woman. What starts as a curious artistic ability soon spirals into a supernatural enigma.
What is causing Teddy's talent to evolve so disturbingly? Is this merely a child's imagination, or is there a more sinister force at play? As Mallory investigates these increasingly disturbing artworks, she becomes determined to protect Teddy from whatever shadows lurk in his imagination. The stakes heighten with every page, as the sketches draw her further into a twisted mystery filled with suspense.

With the pulse-pounding narrative crafted by Rekulak, it’s not just Teddy’s future at stake; it’s Mallory’s chance at redemption.
