About this ebook

In this creepy horror novel, Neal Becker is convinced that his 5 month old baby daughter can talk. But that's impossible...isn't it? Except that Neal didn't really want to get married in the first place - the pregnancy was the result of a one-night stand, and he preferred an abortion. Now, Baby Natasha knows it, and she's out to get him! Or so Neal believes...join the two in a terrifying battle for survival that will make your blood run cold.

Review By Adventures in Reading Blog (Book 1)
After recently being disappointed with a book that had claimed to be of the horror genre,I was a little apprehensive about picking this one up. However,once I did pick it up,I couldn't put it down. It was everything I could ever want in a horror book. It had that creepiness factor that I love...I will be buying book 2 in this series because I am dying to see how it turned out.

Review by Before It's News/Books4Tomorrow (Book 1)
I finished this book in about three hours, and loved it from start to finish. The prologue gripped me and the rest of the book had me turning the pages as fast as I could.... There are quite a few shocking surprises in this story and even though it's a quick read, it is apparent that the author put in effort to create characters with depth and keep the suspense building throughout the plot... I'll definitely be reading more books by Mike Wells!

    I got this book free off Amazon so I can't complain. However it was good quick read. I want to read book two just to see what happens.

    I was reminded of the movie, Rosemary's Baby, and The Exorcist with Baby Talk.Neal Becker felt he was forced to marry Anne after he got her pregnant. He wanted her to have an abortion but she refused.He had been studying chemistry but stopped school and got a job delivering flowers in the Atlanta area.One day while holding Baby Natasha, she pleads, "feed me." She was only five months old and way too young to talk. Neal almost dropped his daughter he was so shocked. When Anne arrived home, he told her about it but she didn't believe him.Neal never wanted a baby and feels that because of the baby, his life was destroyed. He could have continued his studies and become a doctor. He also sees looks of hatred in Baby Natasha's eyes when he holds her and is convinced that she knows he didn't want her and hates him for it.There follows a number of instances where Baby Natasha drives him crazy but no one believes Neal. There was a call to work and when he got home and told Anne that he didn't want to get calls while working. She didn't know what he was talking about. Later, he loses his job and one disaster follows another.The narrator, Karel Allers does a fine job in making the words of Baby Natasha creepy. I heard the words and felt as if I would learn that the baby could turn her head around like in the movie, The Exorcist.None of the characters are very likable but the conclusion is memorable. I think fans of science fiction or paranormal events will be entertained by the story.

    Well...I liked it and I did not like it.
    First off at a mere 90ish pages I would not call it a novel.
    It also ends very abruptly with a link to purchase book 2 which seems more likely that it is the second half of what should have been the rest of this book.

    Annie and Neal "had to" get married. Actually when Annie got pregnant Neal would have rather she had an abortion. He never wanted "Baby Natasha" and is not all that fond of being a husband either at only 21 years old.

    Neal works a minimum wage job and resents that he had to leave school to support a baby he never wanted.
    I read a lot of horror and I never really expect it to make sense so I have no problem at all with this story line of a 5 month old baby being out to kill. What did bother me was a couple of things that the author seemed to presume, such as one character mentioning that a 5 month old baby can't even sit up yet. Sure they may topple over but babies can indeed sit up usually any time between 4-7 months. While it may be unusual for a 5 month old to want to kill anyone I don't see why the author would find it unusual for a 5 month old to sit up. He also seems to presume that breast size has anything to do with milk production. Hence Annie's thoughts that she needed to supplement with formula because of not having large breasts. Most of all what really grated on my nerves was that a character (Annie) who is so paranoid of crib death and who is always reading books on baby care would ever in a million years leave her baby in a car alone in a parking lot. No I take that back, what bothered me the most was Annie's baby talk. It made me want to throat punch her.

    Other than that, it was not a bad story. I mean who doesn't love a good evil baby story? But somehow even though this is currently free at amazon I feel cheated, because I thought this was a complete "novel" and not just half.
