Holy cuppa!
That sweet smell of darkness! That ever consuming feel of the wolves being everywhere. The assumption that even if the bus goes off course--do we ever really lose our way?
Loss, hope, grief, despair, hell throw in the pandemic (pre-pandemic when this was written) and the good graces for the editors/publishers to allow C.J. to do her thing and you have this ACE!
Not many authors stop me dead in my tracks when reading like C.J.Tudor! In fact, I'm so blessed to get her ARC's that the world literally stops till I sit down and read.
In fact, not many people would probably think that thriller authors are full of love, empathy, nurturing, and all that goodness but as an empath that's what I get when reading between the line.
Never stop caring about others in a world that's lost its way. Our world is full of hatred yet love prevails.
Justice is sought after and often people lose their lives to seek it. " No honor among thieves."
Yet, in the end it's all for our future at large. What will we have when all else is gone. What will be our lasting legacy.
Preach it I must because folks we need to embark on finding our way.
This novel sets up beautifully with that rugged frozen tundra upon which a coach bus veers off course. Surely, there's several survivors but no driver.
Wait...What?
The driver is missing...
Professor Grant (the leader at Invicta Academy) is supposedly Hannah's dad. She was one of the original 7 found alive on the bus full of students. They were headed to a retreat.
The wilderness is a funny thing. Bears, wolves, viruses, ...it's all in this book and then some.
C.J. Tudor never disappoints readers!
Here's the thing...Was the bus full of students the target or was it the retreat?
Ahhh~ The smell of fresh prey. Wolves circling. Get on board and save yourselves before it's too late.
Don't wait for the damn storm to pass while hoping, praying, and wishing for good.
Survival of the fittest- isn't that the key?
Everyone seems to have a secret. Nothing is as it seems. Nope not even Daniel and his sis Peggy.
Did you hear something...
A whistle? A groaning noise...
I'm sorry ...It's a 'Whistler' and yes indeed, it's a wheezing like asthma sound from an infected person.
Now's my chance to tell you that science saves lives not love.
However, nobody wants to be a mere experiment, a guinea pig, nor even a lab rat.
Anti-vaxxers perhaps know this all too well or so they claim.
Is it really true that everyone's expendable. Say, it ain't so...PLEASE.
We'll all meet our maker at some time in our lives. The devil doesn't appear as an angel folks.
Neither do monsters or demons.
I digress, Eva is the star in my opinion because while everyone is off saving the world she's hopefully safe and secure living her life because of those who came before.
Keep in mind when reading that there's always that one person whose in charge. That's who you must find.
The Drift has a meaning behind its title both literally and figuratively and I won't give that away but suffice to say there's always someone with more power and control over others.
Checkmate!
C.J. Tudor you once again have rocked my world-My friend!
