The other people by C.J. Tudor
In this book we follow a few people
The first person who is Gabe who was driving home from work one day, stuck behind a van, suddenly he thinks he sees his daughter in the van, but its late so he thinks nothing off it, he so tired, it couldn't of be her, right. He notices his phone is almost dead and he has to ring home to say he is going to be late. He pulls over to the services and rings home using a pay phone, only to be answered by an unfamiliar voice saying "something has happened, its about your wife and daughter". They say their dead, but has a feeling that his daughter is still alive, he saw her in that car, he knows he did, and he won't stop until he finds the truth.
We also follow Fran and Alice. Fran and Alice and are on run, what and who from is uncertain, but they have to keep moving. Alice has this strange sort of condition/power, where if she looks in a mirror or hears a strong voice she fall dead asleep and is transported to somewhere else. When ever she does wake up she has a beach pebble or shell in her hand and Fran can not explain why, she's been searching for a cure, for why she falls dead asleep but she can't find one, all she knows is she got to protect her, no matter what. Alice sometimes remember snippets of what happens when she falls asleep, but not all of it, all she knows is someone needs her help, a small girl.
There is one thing connecting them all, the deep darkness of the other people.
As the story unraveled this book became so tense, I didn't know who to trust, who not to, but as the story unfolded I was in shock, I never expected such twist and turns, I flew through the second half of this book, wanting to know it all, wanting to unravel it, wanting to know if they were safe.
A definitely 5 star read.
