My title says it all. Great story, but its so detailed that you find yourself thinking , I should close my eyes for this part.

This book was quite literally "intense". I loved every second and the main character fit herself right into my heart. I found myself crying as she cried and laughing along with her as well. The ending was built up by a string of rising action that had me on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this to any horror novel enthusiast. The antagonist is terrifying and unrelenting. And incredible piece of writing that I'll likely read again and again.

It was definitely Intense! On the edge of my seat. A great ride!

Yes, very intense! Some of the descriptions of suffering became almost tedious and too many stupid decisions by Chyna.

One of my favorite books. First read it in hard cover than bought it again in ebook. This book I couldn’t put down!!! High intensive cat and mouse chase. My heart was beating fast in so many parts while the female protagonist fought to stay alive. Wow!!!! Worth the purchase.

Dean Koontz definitely gave this book the right title! I am a huge fan of his work because I love mysteries and thrillers as much as I love horror novels—and, in my mind, Koontz is an author of both. In this masterfully written suspense novel, he takes the mystery-thriller to its most extreme! Often, when I’ve thought of this book since reading it, I’ve said that it would be a perfect match for fans of really scary mysteries OR horror novels! It’s just that scary!!! A strong recommendation for all fans of the book: If you also like scary movies, I highly recommend the movie adaptation of this book, a 90s miniseries. This faithful adaptation of the book, starring Molly Parker and John C. McGinley, is nearly as terrifying as the book!!!👍🏻👍🏻

I’m 33 and just decided to try to read a book to pass the time instead of constantly watching tv. I’m so glad that I started with this one. I was on the end of my seat most of the time. Every time I put it down I was wondering what would happen next. Awesome book. It set the bar very high for the rest of my read.

This book messed me up. This is the closest I’ve ever come to skipping to the end just to see what happens. I couldn’t take it. I wanted to read it and throw down at the same time. Intensity as a title for this story was an understatement.

My mother told me when she was pregnant with me she couldn’t finish this book due to the raw anxiety and suspense she’d experience whilst reading it. I thought she was exaggerating. I was very, very wrong. Incredible read.
