The Drift by C.J. Tudor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This novel has three stories, all of which take place in a snow storm. A bunch of students are stuck in an overturned coach. Several adults are stuck on a stopped cable car. And several guards/caregivers are stuck in their workplace while the generator is flaking and causing unexpected side effects.
It all takes place in a futuristic time when there’s a virus that has infected much of society and this world is deeply dystopian. This novel was creepy and gory in many parts. I could almost feel the cold and the eerie moments viscerally.
I don’t usually read horror but CJ Tudor’s books are an exception because of the character development that’s interwoven in the fast-paced plot that keeps you on your toes. I was able to guess the twist on this one but it still didn’t stop me from avidly turning the pages.
with gratitude to Random House and netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
