My Review:
I was a huge fan of The Girl With All The Gifts so I was very excited to be invited onto the blog tour for his latest book, Someone Like Me.
The thing that I love about this author’s books is his ability to create realistic and terrifying world’s that you can’t help but feel fully emersed and involved in. This book was no exception as from the very first page I was totally gripped by this intriguing story and unable to put the book down. Its definitely going to be a book that I think about for a long time.
The two main characters are both very well drawn and I enjoyed learning more about them both as the story develops. They were both very likeable characters that I couldn’t help but warm to and I soon felt very invested in the story as I wanted to find out how things would end up for them both.
This book is very atmospheric, chilling and utterly gripping from the first page which makes for a very intense but hugely enjoyable reading experience. As other bloggers have mentioned it’s difficult to review this book without giving too much away so I’m going to leave my review there before I can give away spoilers. Trust me though, if you like chilling, dark and atmospheric books then you need to read Someone Like Me.
Huge thanks to Orbit for my copy of this book and to Tracy from Compulsive Readers for inviting me onto the blog tour.
