Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve really enjoyed all of CJ Tudor‘s novels but this might be my favorite (at least up there with The Chalk Man). I loved the many twists, turns, and oh so many secrets going on in this small and corrupt English village. While some of the misdirects seem a little far fetched I still enjoyed the overall mystery and seeing it all unfold. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Getting cosy to finish this, really enjoying it so far 💕

I just finished this one on Audible. It was just fair, but had excellent narrators.

That was nice little Halloween palate cleanser. One of my favorite people in all the land recommended this and I was digging it. A creepy church, spirits, long buried secrets, small town people with no morals…all the the fun stuff you‘ll find in this suspenseful read 🎃🖤👻

Finished this ebook yesterday at work during lunch. Another good and creepy October read. Hard for me to describe but with a great twist ending. This was recommended I think of BookTube. I had never heard of it before.

One book finished, and now audio while doing physical therapy and some organization. Joseph has been my shadow all day, as my fur-covered clothes can attest. #readathon @DeweysReadathon

Wow! This is the first wholly satisfying thriller I‘ve read in a long time! Great characters, plenty of spooky bits, and a plot that kept me guessing until the very end!

There‘s just the tiniest bit of the supernatural in this book and the mystery is very good! +556 #TeamHendrix #Scarathlon2021 #Screamathon #spookoween #littenlisten #readlikehellathon #thrilloween #murdertheyreadathon #spooktober #disneyvillianreadathon #vampathon

I‘ve been going to football games for nearly 14 years, but my headaches make it difficult during crowded games. It‘s a sellout tonight, so I‘m using my noise cancelling headphones to listen to the tagged audiobook while cheering on my Cats! #GoBigBlue #Scarathlon2021 #TeamHendrix

Easy 5 star read for me. I loved the characters and the story. There were many layers of stories and a lot of characters but they all relate and I never felt confused. There were a lot of very unexpected twists that left my jaw dropped. Loved every minute. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I definitely feel like I would have gotten more out of this book if I had read it as opposed to listening to it on Audible. Still, it was very well written and I loved the history and psychology brought in. Also, some good creepy ghost moments.

I absolutely love this book and this author the ending was a shocker and didn't expect anything ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Put down this book a while ago have no idea why!! I was loving it so gonna finish it up

Go get this one!

Currently have both the ebook and print copy of this checked out from the library (although from two very geographically distant systems), so I can conveniently read in any situation. 🤷‍♀️

“An unconventional vicar must exorcise the dark past of a remote village haunted by death and disappearances in this explosive and unsettling thriller from the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man.”

🎉My 50th non-electronic book of the year! 🎉 “The Burning Girls” is definitely a good one for readers like me who enjoy supernatural stuff as well as mysteries, but I couldn‘t help but feel like the twist regarding Jack was a little bit too easy—even given the pretty clever misdirections employed by the Author. The other twist was fantastic, though, and I definitely didn‘t see it coming!

I was already a big fan of CJ Tudor but she really stepped it up with this one. Small village lore, deep seated secrets and religious cover ups mixed with old and new mysteries. This one kept me going from the first page to the last. More horror than thriller than any of the earlier books and I love it! I did figure out some big twists early on but I didn't enjoy it any less for it.

It's a beautiful night to chill outside 😌

🎧 Fantastic narration! Richard Armitage & Gemma Whelan ROCK!

CJ Tudor presents an intricate mystery with a side of thriller bordering on horror! Enjoy the ride! 😁

1. The burning girls.
2. Mary & Joy‘s disappearance.
3. The new Vicar‘s past!

There are other sketchy characters that you‘ll meet along the way!

It‘s a fun book, smooth story, executed to perfection by the narrators. As good or better than Tudor‘s past books! Read on!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4

This book is for me by far her best one. I was totally gripped right to the end. It has a bit of horror in it too, I couldn't read it at night! There are two mysteries one from 30 years ago and one more present day. If you like creepy and sinister thrillers this is for you.

I put off reading this one because of the mixed reviews on Goodreads. Some people said they didn't like the ending but I thought the ending was decent. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Jack is a vicar with a 15 year old daughter & secrets. A troubling incident at her previous church causes Jack to transfer to a smaller church in a town that has secrets too. Jack must face her history head-on as the town's secrets start to surface or risk losing it all.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Up next! C.J. Tudor has become one of my "must read" authors, I don't even need to read the synopsis, just sign me up!

Ooooo that ending! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This was my first book by this author and now I‘m thinking I may have to pick up her others.

Currently reading... 🔥 and enjoying 🔥

First post!

TLDR: I hardly ever give out 5 stars, but this book was exciting, engaging, and actually thrilling. For the first time in a really long time, I felt that “I can‘t wait to get home to read that book!” feeling. The writing is modern, intelligent, and even at some points quite scary. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I highly recommend. Longer review on blog/IG. #thriller #suspense #horror #cjtudor #thrillerbooks

I have enjoyed this author and this book didn't disappoint. Interesting plot with an end I didn't seem coming. I originally read the author's first book as Stephen King had tweeted about her. If you like thrillers, you'll enjoy this one.

This is my #currentread and it is so good! I will finish it tonight!!

#BookReport

Finished 3 books this week. Had a busy week, so not a ton of time for reading.

I‘m currently reading Namesake, 209 pages in and Twelve Dancing Princesses for #LMPBC, about 160 pages in.

#WeeklyForecast - Finish up these 2 and start my other #LMPBC book and I really need to finish Empire of Sand! I‘m struggling with it for some reason.

Finished this audiobook today! I really loved the way the mystery unraveled and how the two timelines fit together. I‘d definitely recommend!

Also an update to my #BookSpinBingo - have read 15 books and oh, no bingo! Of course!

#NutsinMay - Book 4 finished

#currentlyreading Enjoying this one so far. When I‘m not reading I‘m hiking! (Pic)

Good mix of thriller and supernatural, really enjoyed this slightly creepy read.

Pretty basic psychological thriller.

This is the first C. J. Tudor I‘ve read and I really enjoyed it! I loved the supernatural elements and the multiple perspectives.

The Burning Girls is C.J. Tudors latest psychological mystery thriller. This novel showcases Ms. Tudor's ability to blend current mysteries with past traumas with a bit of supernatural, religion and horror thrown in. #NetGalley #TheBurningGirls

March was a great reading month for me! I read 19 books and scored 3 bingos for #BookSpinBingo. The Burning Girls was my favourite of the month. #MarchWrapUp #MarchStats #March2021

I‘ve already gotten through an hour of my day, so here‘s hoping that it continues to be a smooth-sailing one. I‘m just not in the mood to deal with pettiness or stupidity or rudeness. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I‘m excited to finally start “The Burning Girls!” #theburninggirls #cjtudor

This book gripped me from start to finish! I really enjoyed it! 4.5⭐️

I loved this book. C. J. Tudor is one of my favorite authors. 5 stars. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Yes, same time next year, Ms. Tudor. 😙😃🔥📚💜

I‘m seeing so many great reviews for this one. Tudor is a little hit and miss for me, so I‘m hoping this one works for me.

Excited!

Some afflictions you can see, but depression is a crippling illness of the mind, that twists the person that you LOVE into someone you don‘t even recognize! #quote #theburninggirls #books #reading #litsybook #

It was definitely worth the wait. Another edge-of-your-seat mystery/thriller. Everybody‘s keeping secrets. Right up to the last page. An English village, a chapel, a graveyard, ghosts, fire, murder, isolation, abandoned houses. A great storyline and great writing. At the end of the acknowledgments, speaking of readers, C. J. Tudor says, “So—same time next year?” Hell yes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Up next... 🔥🔥🔥😁😁😁

Happy Pub Day!

The Burning Girl is a complex examination of the stories we tell ourselves about youth and friendship, and straddles, expertly, childhood's imaginary worlds and painful adult reality—crafting a true, immediate portrait of female adolescence. #readers

One of my most anticipated reads of 2021! I drove an hour to pick up the only copy I could find nearby because today is release day!!! 😁😍🥰❤️📚
