I'M PISSED OFF AND I WANT MY FUCKING MONEY BACK.
If you haven't read this book or The Taking of Annie Thorne and have any inkling whatsoever to do so, then move on along to a more pleasant spoiler free review.

I CAN'T DO THIS AGAIN WITH C.J. TUDOR.
I loved Annie Thorne despite the fact that the plot had clearly been borrowed from Pet Semetary (which happens to be the best King book ever. Fight me!).
In the author's bio she mentions her love of Stephen King, so I excused the obvious similarities between the two books and gave Tudor the benefit of the doubt.
I CAN'T DO THIS AGAIN WITH C.J. TUDOR.
When I first cracked open The Chalk Man I knew, I knew immediately that, once again, Tudor's chosen plot was based off of a King book, this time being It.
YOU'VE. GOT. TO. BE. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME.
It's so glaringly obvious that it's blinding. Even Blue Blockers couldn't protect you from this retina burning blaze.
Tudor must have some gigantical ovaries to pull this bullshit twice. In a row. With the same author.
I'm still seething. I need a joint and a box of wine.

Loved it,
Felice, you are a woman after my own heart. Everything you said except I am 71 (scream!!!) and have far fewer days left to read them. (290 books unread books on kindle and an untold amount of hard copies).
None of us knows how many days we have left, Jo-Ann and that thought keeps me up at night, reading of course, and anxious knowing I'll never finish all of these books! 😩😩 I guess there are way worse problems to have 💖
A really good book. Again thanks for the recommendation!
Hope you enjoy Felicia! And totally agree lol 💖
Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!!!
I totally understand, Felicia! I couldn't finish it at all and laid it down! I just found out the her other book, The Hiding Place is the same way as one of my friends reviewed it and same old thing with Stephen King similarities. So this author is off my list permanently!
@Marie the hiding place and annie thorne are the same books. I wonder what King feels about his plots being "borrowed".
I'm sorry this was a bust for you, Felicia. I hope your next read doesn't leave you wanting.🙌
I've never read It so had no idea! I really enjoy "old" King books so no wonder I loved this book so much...lol

Oh no! Sorry this didn't work for you, Felicia. Hope your next book is better!
Thank you Kimber 💖 and Meredith 💖
@Bookworm that's funny. I have a feeling that's the case with most of the readers.
Brutal review Felicia I loved the book but am not in a hurry to read more loved your brutality go girl XO :)
Yikes Felicia!😬😬. Though I didn’t really care for this one either! Hope you love your next book!💖
Ugh ! Sorry it didn’t work! On to the next which I hope is 5 stars.
Yikes! Hope you enjoy your next one more. 😬
I just love when I see your name appear on my daily feed! 😁 I never did understand the hype over this book!
When there's a lot of hype over a book, I'm always suspicious. I won this book, so I'm not as angry as you are because I didn't pay for it.
Sorry this was such a bust, Felicia! YIKES, I really hope you get a five star read next <3 x
Bummer! Sorry for the miss, Felicia! You made me think... I'm not really a fan of King so I don't know if I can go through this or not!!! 💕
@Lisa � power to the reader
Thank you Kaceey 💖 Angela and 💖 Staci 💖 Alex 💖 Nazanin 💖
@Jayme Ha! I'm not good at handling my emotions. Only Child Syndrome. 😉
lol a whole box of wine? I didn't realize it was stolen from King. the next novel you read will be great...it's your time!
@Barbara I have since read other reviews and am not alone in my feelings. Although I am the only one that needed a box of wine.

Yikes!!
Ha ha, it's better if you don't read Stephen King books 🤣
@Marilyn oh my I bet this book is fantastic if you hadn't already read the gold standard 😂
Felicia wrote: "@Marilyn oh my I bet this book is fantastic if you hadn't already read the gold standard 😂"So picky, so picky 😜😁
I haven't read this book. It's on my reading list and this seems so disappointing. I'm sorry this had been so shitty for you. Enjoy your wine
Haha your review tickled me! Sorry it wasn't good--I admit I've been back and forth about giving this author a try!
Well, I have said that line many times. "I want my money back" Thank you for your honesty! Loved reading this review.
@Lisa yessssss *goodreads high five*
Tell us how you really feel! 😉
Exactly how I felt reading this.. trying too hard to be Stephen King.
So glad I didn't take the proof copy of this book. Doesn't seem fun at all. Fun and honest review, Felicia!
I love this review because I couldn't agree more. I really didn't like this book and I'm glad you felt the same!
Awww . . . sorry you found this to be such a disappointment. Love your honesty, as always. 😬 Upwards and onwards to something better. 🤞🏻
I'm sorry you didn't like the book Felicia, but I love your review :D
@Dita 😂😂😂 just doing my part
