4.0

“I don’t believe in ghosts. My nan was fond of telling me, “It’s not the dead you need to be scared of, love, It’s the living.”

This was my first C. J Tudor book and if I’m honest I didn’t expect to enjoy it, but boy was I wrong. I did enjoy this book, from beginning to end.

I went into The Taking of Annie Thorne not really knowing what the book was about, the synopsis had me thinking it was your average detective crime thriller, I definitely was not expecting the paranormal aspect to it.

I read this late at night and there was a few scenes that left shivers down my spine, not gonna lie. Tudor’s writing left me feeling eerie and the suspense was almost excruciating.

The reveal was not at all predictable to me mainly because the author leads you to believe one thing throughout the entire book but it is only at the very end that all of what you initially believed to be true is thrown out the window.

All in all I gave The Taking of Annie Thorne a 4.5/5 stars. I am interested in reading more of C. J Tudor’s novels in the future.
