We follow Katie, a woman who basically lives as a hermit on a small lonely island because of some devastating trauma, as she tries to survive what I’ll describe as some kind of supernatural zombie breakout originating from the high security research facility on the next island over. Unfortunately, everything surrounding the suspense was bullshit. *Bonus- you get to meet Michael J Fox 🦊Īudio was 10 hours/ 22 min and excellent narration from Natalie Naudus (she also narrated my last book Talk Bookish to Me)įor some reason I’ve never read anything of Koontz’s before, but I felt like reading something suspenseful and The House at the End of the World delivered on that. If you enjoy suspense with horror and sci-fi interweaved, I recommend this one! ( gave me some The Drift (CJ Tudor) vibes. I was completely swept up! Katie and Libby captured my heart - strong, capable and self-sufficient. Short chapters, lots of edge of your seat suspense, otherworldy witchy happenings.
