Description

Trent’anni dopo l’evento che ha segnato la sua infanzia, Ed Munster si trova a affrontare un passato che continua a tormentarlo. Rimasto nella sua cittadina natale, rivive ricordi inquietanti che emergono a galla, legati a un misterioso omicidio avvenuto durante la sua adolescenza. La routine quotidiana di Ed viene interrotta quando un gruppo di bambini individua una macabra scoperta, riaccendendo le ferite mai sanate e costringendolo a confrontarsi con i segreti sepolti da tempo.

Mentre il presente si intreccia con il passato, Ed inizia a mettere in discussione la verità di quello che credeva di sapere. La tensione cresce man mano che il confine tra il passato e il presente si sfuma, portando a rivelazioni sorprendenti e inquietanti. La narrativa di C.J. Tudor esplora temi di amicizia, paura e le ombre che si nascondono nei ricordi, rendendo il lettore parte di un viaggio che è tanto un thriller quanto una ricerca di redenzione e identità.

When this book was recommended to me my first thoughts were that it was like IT, a book that I really enjoyed as I love Stephen King. Little did I know that it was going to be very very similar.I did not enjoy the start of this book and I'll be honest about that. I'm giving it 4 stars though because once I hit the midway point things picked up and I really couldn't put it down. It went from feeling like a shortened and carbon copy of IT to a really amazing thriller that I loved. I did not see the ending coming at all, though I did feel like it was a little bit rushed.Eddie as a character got a bit old to me fairly quickly-- especially in the chapters about him being an adult. As a kid the things he was doing could be justified as not knowing better but as an adult they were just plain weird. Fat Gav and Hoppo were characters that I kept getting confused honestly.All in all if you like a murder mystery and a thriller you'll like this book.

3.0

Edit: knocking it down a star bc it's highly forgettable. I already can't tell a plot point or charasteristic oops-I guessed the killer like half way through but the last chapter??? I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING AT ALL i guess you could say i needed a...HEADs up
