Fellside

It's safe to say that "Fellside" was a very interesting read. I first read one of Carey's books titled "The Girl With all the Gifts" that came out in 2014 and absolutely loved it. Imagine my excitement when I went to read the 2017 book titled "The Boy on the Bridge" that was the prequel to "The Girl With all the Gifts" over Christmas break last year. Unfortunately, I was not impressed and had a difficult time keeping up with the many spontaneously introduced characters and slow moving plot. The way in which "Fellside" is set up, reminds me very much of "The Boy on the Bridge." Nevertheless, this was not one of my favorite reads. The characters and conflict were too menacing for my taste. However, the plot was interesting and did start to pick up quickly at the end as the book moved toward and gripping resolution.
RATING = 2/5
