'A really entertaining thriller [that] like Michael Crichton . . . keeps ratcheting up the suspense' Booklist
____________________________

Two sisters have always stood together. Now, they're the only ones left.

In the shadow of Mount Hood in the US Pacific Northwest, sixteen-year-old Tennant is checking rabbit traps with her eight-year-old sister Sophie.

The girls are suddenly overcome by a strange vibration rising out of the forest, building in intensity until it sounds like a deafening crescendo of screams.

From out of nowhere, their father sweeps them up and drops them through a trapdoor into a storm cellar. But the noise only gets worse . . .

Critic Reviews

A really entertaining thriller . . . like Michael Crichton (who might have written something very like this), Patterson and Barker keep ratcheting up the suspense and the sense of impending doom, until, by the end, we wish we could read faster just so we can find out what happens next.
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)
No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. (LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)
Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. (MICHAEL CONNELLY)
James Patterson is the boss. End of. (IAN RANKIN)
James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. (STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series)
Patterson is in a class by himself. (VANITY FAIR)

Loved this book especially with multiple narrators and the story was out there but if you think about it is very interesting. I watched a movie like this but it was only one girl.💜

brilliant story

The female reader’s way of exaggerating and dramatising made all female characters appear slightly dumb and historical. Overall, the way this was read is best suited for a haunted house story for 9 year olds.

Other than that, it’s good

The female reader is a disappointment.

It didn’t seem like a James Patterson book. Not sure how much was actually him. I was engaged throughout and looked forward to continuing so I guess it was good but the last few chapters didn’t really satisfy.

Interesting idea but carried too far

I did enjoy this book, it makes one think of the possibilities of this happening, as we are so reliant on the Internet now and that the internet could be turned into a tool is frightening!

Frightening
