I have not felt this creeped out by a book since Pet Sematary by Stephen King. This is a great example of a horror story. And just in time for Halloween! I wonder if that was planned.Truly unusual story made all the more scary because the dolls are... well... dolls. Dolls are for children. Children take these dolls into their homes and ... well, I don't want to spoil the plot for you. Suffice it to say, it is horrifying, which is the intent of a horror story, I'm sure.Once in a great while I read or see something that sticks with me forever. I will never look at a doll in quite the same way. This story will stick with me.The book is well written with a fast paced dialogue among the hunters and honestly, the possession of the dolls was believable. Ultimately this book was a very scary and unusual twist on the struggle of good versus evil.I was pulling for the hunters, of course. I was pulling for the people who helped the hunters. I was for the good guys. This is not a relaxing story, I got caught up in it. I realized that the evil beings possessing the dolls had a lot going for them and they got a few lucky breaks.Meanwhile, the hunters cannot afford any mistakes at all. I held my breath through several scenes in this book. It is riveting and the urge to see who wins (read survives),  because it could go either way, kept me reading late into the night until the very last page.Recommendation:  Great book, great story, well told. And... you might want to read it with the lights on.  In the daytime.
