The Other People - C J Tudor Review

45706883



This story follows a few different perspectives.

Gabe is on the way home one day and sees his daughter in the back of an old car. He watches her disappear. He soon learns that his wife and daughter have been killed but he swears he saw his daughter in the back of that car. No on believes him. The believe he is guilty. 3 years later, Gabe hasn't given up hope and continues searching for that car and whoever took his daughter. He believes that she is still alive.

Alice works in a service station. She often sees Gabe come in. She knows his story, most people do. She understands his pain. Her father was killed 9 years ago.

Fran and her daughter Alice are on the run. Fran knows the truth about what happened to Gabe's daughter and she knows that if they catch up to her and Alice, they will be killed.

So this book was delightfully creepy and had been eager to find out what happens next. I enjoyed the twists and turns and seeing how it would all play out. Gabe's never ending hope that he will find his daughter is truly touching.

My only issue with this was the slight paranormal aspect, I didn't think this thriller needed it and is also why I couldn't give it a full 5 star but it was still very enjoyable. It's a story that will keep you turning the pages! I will definitely be picking up more books from C J Tudor in the future.

I read this for Kayla's Literally Dead Book Club!

Rebirth - Steven Long Mitchell & Craig W. Van Sickle Book Review

Image
WARNING: Contains some spoilers! Ok so where I do begin! First I should probably explain how BIG of a Pretender fan I am. I basically grew up watching this show. I was 10 when it first aired and I even remember seeing the first advertisement on TV announcing that it was coming on and I was already hooked. After a 30 second ad I knew I needed to watch it. Watching the show was basically my childhood and early teen years. Any chance my sister and I had we would be watching it (we used to record the episodes on VHS - this was before TiVo) and re-watching it and re-watching it. We saw the 'Bank' episode (our favourite at the time) so many times that we could quote the ENTIRE episode word for word. Every word! Words that we didn't even understand. Whenever we got sent to bed early we would start quoting that episode and 40 or so minutes later we were done and more awake than ever. Are you getting how BIG a fan I am now? I was so devastated when the show got taken off air an

The Mindful Way To A Good Night's Sleep - Tzivia Gover Review

Image
I read this book over the span of a week, right before going to bed and I have noticed a slight improvement in my sleeping already. To fully get the benefits of this book, I think you need to constantly work at all the advice given even though some of the advice can be hard to do for some people like me ie. not using any electronics before going to bed. This book is split up into sections going through why getting a good night's sleep is beneficial, understanding your dreams and why we dream and how that affects our sleep to steps on how to actually get a good night's sleep. I really enjoyed the journaling prompts given as well as the step by step guide to meditating. I marked a lot of pages to look back on such as the breathing exercises which I found very helpful to help me in the future. I also thought the sleep/dream quotes scattered throughout this book was a nice touch.

White Fire (Pendergast series) - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child Review

Image
I can't tell you how excited I was to read this book. Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are two of my favourite authors to read and the Pendergast series is one of my all time favourite book series (second only after Harry Potter). White Fire is the thirteenth book in the Pendergast series about FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast but you do not have to read the previous 12 before you read this book if you do not want to, (I highly recommend it though) you can read it as a stand-alone book. Even though the book is a Pendergast novel, it's mainly told through Corrie Swanson's (Pendergast's protege and first seen in 'Still Life With Crows') point of view. Corrie currently enrolled at John Jay College of Criminal Justice is working on a thesis which takes her to 'Roaring Fork' an exclusive ski resort in Colorado to examine the remains of 12 miners who were mauled to death by a bear 150 years previously. The prologue set in 1889 takes
