Book Info:
It’s Watching by Lindsay Currie
Genre: Middle Grade Horror
Publishing Date: February 4, 2025
Synopsis:
A chilling middle school novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Scritch Scratch, three kids must discover who—or what—is terrorizing them after receiving an ominous meme on Halloween night.
On Halloween night, Josie and her two best friends, Jackson and Alison, sneak into the infamously haunted Bachelor’s Grove cemetery. They are hoping to prove the existence of a famous ghost to secure coveted editorial spots on the school newspaper. Instead, they are chased out by a security guard before they gather any evidence…or so they think.
Later, a sinister meme appears on their phones. It’s an image of the “phantom farmhouse,” an evil apparition rumored to appear to unlucky visitors at Bachelor’s Grove—luring them in…and never letting them out—with the words I’m watching dripping down the screen.
Soon, strange and scary things begin to happen all around them. When a second meme from the same number arrives, this time with a countdown, they realize they have only three days to figure out who is terrorizing them. As they investigate, the trio must use their journalistic skills to uncover the truth, or risk becoming a part of the graveyard’s sinister past forever.

Oh boy Lindsay yet again has managed to creep me out and that is due to her amazing writing skills bringing atmosphere and scares by the bucket load. On a creepy scale of 1-10 it was a 10 and this is all I am saying about it as I don't do spoilers.
What I can say It's Watching was so more than a Middle Grade Horror instead it covered the friendship and grief but also there was a mystery running cleverly through the story.
For all the above reasons It's Watching 4 stars
