Eight-year-old Garrett Morrow disappears from a class field trip in New Bern, North Carolina. Within days, his body is found and seven-year-old Tyler Sullivan vanishes from Beaufort, South Carolina. Journalist Abby Weaver is at first puzzled by the striking resemblance between the two boys. But when she realizes that both boys could be carbon copies of her son, Chris, Abby's world is rocked to its core. Is this merely coincidence or could Chris be next? In a race against time, Abby's frantic search for the missing child leads her to piece together clues that point to a monster in their midst. The evil she uncovers threatens to destroy her family and even the community she loves. Every parent's nightmare comes to life in this terrifyingly-real follow-up to Sweet Dreams and Flying Machines.
My thoughts
Child’s Play deals with the selling and exploitation and selling of young boys to pedophiles. With that said, journalist Abby Weaver’s son resembles two boys that disappeared and she fears that he is next. She gets involved with the case so much that it affects her relationships and herself.
This was a suspenseful novel to a degree and the characters were interesting enough, but it didn’t hold up throughout and sometimes I caught myself losing interest. Yes, there is some editorial and grammatical errors as with those who self-publish, but I didn’t think it took away from the story.
Disclosure: I received this book for review through bookrooster.com. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
