The Dollhouse: A psychological thriller

Written by Sara Ennis

Narrated by Paige Reisenfeld

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 …

“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.”

Reviews for The Dollhouse

[Holly Backus · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Wow. Im not a fan of senseless violence, but the author made sure every act had a legitimate reason and a unique spin. Loved the characters and was completely thrown off guard by the ending. The voice actor also did a great job with subtle but recognizable voices for the characters. Brilliantly done!

After listening to this, I realized just HOW mental that a child abduction can affect it's victims. Author Sara Ennis's novel; 'The Dollhouse' was so psychologically devastating, that it actually made me tear up in not one part but many. The character of Alfred is SO disturbing and what he does to these kidnapped kids will interrupt your sleep patterns if you listen to it before bed. Hell, it just might mess your daytime up too! I really enjoyed this sad and disturbing tale of abduction and abuse.
4.5 stars

This was absolutely amazing! Creep, and addictive. The narrator did a great job brining this to life

Kept you listening to find out what was going to happen next and the creepy games he played with the kids had me biting my nails and praying Angel would make it in time.

I have no clue what to say, but WOW! I just finished listening to this book on audio and it blew me away. Some parts dragged a bit, but I think that added to the overall feel of the story - of how time can pass so fast or so slow given your situation.
There were a few twists I definitely did not see coming that really shocked me.
My only regret is how it ended. I understand why it ended that way, I just wish it hadn’t.
Beautifully written, horrifically terrifying - you do not want to skip this book.

You Cannot Take Your Eyes Off..................What a wonderful book ! It was like a mixture of psychotic thrill with hope and emotions. A wonderful thriller shattering you to the core with its plot. How life can be hard for some people and how it changes them is the focus of the plot. Sara Ennis has done a wonderful job. It is the first time that I felt pure hate for the villains. And, the plot twists were extra ordinary. I was feeling jumpy with every twist that I wanted to enter the plot myself to help Olivia, Bud and Angel.Definitely 5 stars for the book. Thanks to Book Sirens for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.

Long but sooooo good! I couldn’t believe how hard the kids fought but I was so proud of them! I feel so sorry for the kids
