The Hiding Place by C.J. Tudor
4.0

This one wasn’t as good as The Chalk Man. It was good, entertaining, but it lacks the depth in the writing and in the story that her previous book had. For the ¾ of the book, it felt like a mixed of It and Pet Sematary, both by Stephen King. The story still drives us fast in a real page-turner way and I really enjoy the balance between real/unnatural things that we just can decide if it’s real or a delusion, that was the best part. The ending unfortunately takes a weird turn (Ohhh Gloria… why are you even in this story…) and it get my rating down a bit. I will go with a 4/5, but really close to be 3,5/5. It was okay but after The Chalk Man being one of my best thriller, if not The best of the summer, I had very high expectation and this one did not deliver fully!
