Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

The Hiding Place by C.J. Tudor (February 5, 2019 by Crown)
Happy Halloween! To put you in a hair-raising mood, today I’m featuring the upcoming novel from new talent C.J. Tudor, who made me squirm last year with her disturbing and bone-chilling psychological thriller debut, The Chalk Man. Note: the book will also be published in the UK but with a different title, The Taking of Annie Thorne.
“The thrilling second novel from the author of The Chalk Man, about a teacher with a hidden agenda who returns to settle scores at a school he once attended, only to uncover a darker secret than he could have imagined.
Joe never wanted to come back to Arnhill. After the way things ended with his old gang–the betrayal, the suicide, the murder–and after what happened when his sister went missing, the last thing he wanted to do was return to his hometown. But Joe doesn’t have a choice. Because judging by what was done to that poor Morton kid, what happened all those years ago to Joe’s sister is happening again. And only Joe knows who is really at fault.
Lying his way into a teaching job at his former high school is the easy part. Facing off with former friends who are none too happy to have him back in town–while avoiding the enemies he’s made in the years since–is tougher. But the hardest part of all will be returning to that abandoned mine where it all went wrong and his life changed forever, and finally confronting the shocking, horrifying truth about Arnhill, his sister, and himself. Because for Joe, the worst moment of his life wasn’t the day his sister went missing.
It was the day she came back.
With the same virtuosic command of character and pacing she displayed in The Chalk Man, CJ Tudor has once again crafted an extraordinary novel that brilliantly blends harrowing psychological suspense, a devilishly puzzling mystery, and enough shocks and thrills to satisfy even the most seasoned reader.”

Wow, this sounds twisty and kinda dark! I love the idea of him coming back to teach and settle the score, only to find something WORSE going on. I’ll probably be adding this one!

I wasn’t a fan of The Chalk Man but didn’t mind the writing and am wanting to give the author another chance. I hate it when books are marketed under different titles – it kind of bugs me. I actually like UK title and cover better as I think the US one seems a tad generic. Thanks for sharing this one!
