DOUBLE REVIEW – THE HIDING PLACE AND THE OTHER PEOPLE BY CJ TUDOR

This might seem a complicated review because I’m writing it for two books, but it’s not because, to me, the books were very similar.
I gave both of these books three stars. They both left me confused and needing more information. They both dealt in the supernatural world, but The Hiding Place did a better job of it. Both of these books were well written and kept me interested and intrigued enough to make it to the end. The pace was mostly fast enough in both books, which is something I really needed during a month of dnf’d books and just not being able to get into something long enough to even really dnf it.
It’s also very hard to review these books without spoiling, but I’ll try.
The Other People dealt with the supernatural and I felt that it really didn’t need to. I felt like the book did too much and had too many turns that didn’t necessarily need to be in the book. I thought the actual other people plot line was enough to carry the book without the added supernatural effect.
As for The Hiding Place, I really enjoyed it and I enjoyed the supernatural aspect, but I wanted more. The book left me confused and wanting to know exactly what happened to Joe’s sister Annie. (This shouldn’t be a spoiler, as the UK edition is called The Taking of Annie Thorne.)
So, basically, I wanted less supernatural for The Other People and more for The Hiding Place, but both were well written and good reads.
I will definitely read The Chalk Man, but after that, I don’t know if I’ll read any of Tudor’s to be released novels.
