Synopsis

Sometimes people just can't accept the past.
Alfred needs Dolls. Blonde, blue-eyed human dolls that will help him rewrite his past and change his future. Twins Angel and Bud are used to making do. Their dad is in prison, and mom won’t win parenting awards. Bud thrives on neglect, but Angel isn’t so strong.
Now they’re captives in a place called the Dollhouse, and things have gone from bad to worse. The Dolls are forced to re-stage old photographs, but satisfying Alfred is not easy. He has a twisted sense of humor and a violent temper that explodes when things don’t go his way — and sometimes when they do.
Angel knows that if she and the other Dolls are to survive this warped playtime, she can no longer be needy and afraid. She must prove how strong she can be — fast. There aren’t many photos left …
For fans of Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter, Those Girls by Chevy Stevens, and Room by Emma Donoghue.
“This is easily the best novel I have read all year, hands down! I have never even heard of this author before and all of a sudden kindle is telling me to read this book and I’m blown away!”
“HOLY FREAKING MOLY . This book was so damn good in a dark, disturbing, messed up, spectacular kind of way! This book is like the definition of anxiety.”
“I love books that are dark and disturbing and this one really delivered. The author was great at describing everything, to the point that you often felt like you were right there to personally witness all that went on inside of the dollhouse.”
“There is some bat shit crazy stuff going on in this book and yet it left me crying.”

Excellent writing and over-the-top suspense! Sara Ennis is another author with a twisted mind that I’m adding to my favorite author list! The imaginations of some authors are both impressive and terrifying at the same time and she is one of those authors. I’d be concerned if I was living in the same......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on August 15, 2021

Boy am I struggling with this review…I think I’m still digesting…this was a lot. I really wanted to love it, but it was just okay for me. The Dollhouse had a strong premise, which kept me invested, but it also felt slow and drawn out at times, despite the many moving parts. The large cast of charact......more

Goodreads review by Mallory on January 27, 2022

I was very intrigued when I read the description for me. There need to be strong trigger warnings for abuse (physical, sexual, child specific), kidnapping, and torture. While this book was at times graphic, that didn’t really bother me. I found myself unable to buy into the story somehow. The charac......more
