By Golly CJ Tutor can tell a story! I think this is now my new favourite of her works.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I could not put this down. There was way too much that I needed to know. But I will say I do not like the main character. He’s like Jack Reacher with his crappy attitude. As I was reading it, I definitely felt that the author is way too big of a fan of Stephen King. And then I noticed she called him out in her acknowledgments. So if you like King, this is your book. Definitely had Pet Sematary vibes.

Amazing...
Fui um pouco às escuras para a leitura deste livro e ainda bem pois fui surpreendida até ao final.
Com uma vibe muito parecida com o “samiterio de animais” de Stephen King, mas com crianças em vez de animais.

This book was.. okay. The only issue i had with this book is the way the main character talked about Lauren, the waitress with autism. As someone on the spectrum, it felt very.. weird. The story could've moved on without it even being mentioned at all. I think this is the reason why i didn't enjoy it as much as i did in the beginning, it put me off and i stopped caring for the main character.

This is the second book i've read by CJ Tudor, and i will continue reading her stuff, i just hope her other books are a bit better than 'The Taking of Annie Thorne' was.

3.5 stars. Much more enjoyable than the chalk man and it had a twist I didn’t even suspect
