Intensity
So I am a big fan of fiction mystery, thriller, etc books. I love Stephen King and Dean Koontz among other thriller writers. They don’t necessairly have to have blood and gore and weird stuff like that, but I do like the books i can’t put down due to me just having to know what happens to the character next.
Among my favorites are Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King; Angels and Demons by Dan Brown; Excavation by James Rollins and Intensity by Dean Koontz.
The book Intensity is best described in one word, mentioned in its title, Intensity! I was reading this book and I finished it in 2 days. I couldn’t put it down. It’s about a woman who goes to visit some friends in the mountains and she is woken up in the night by a loud bang. She goes down to discover that the parents of her friend have been murdered and her friend is missing. The killer does not know she is in the house.
She hears her friend crying and follows the voice only to see the killer put her friend in this camper. She decides to sneak into the camper when he isn’t looking to try to save her friend.
From there the book gets wild. Her pursuit in keeping herself hidden while trying to save her friend is gut wrentching.
I remember the night I was finishing the book, my husband and I were on our couch. He was reading a book, too, so we had the tv off and the room was silent. There I was on the edge of my seat, nose in the book, worried and pulling on my hair as I do when I’m nervous. My husband sneezed, breaking the silence, and I jumped and shook the couch. Both my bottle of water and my book fell to the floor. I looked at him with shock, I’m sure, on my face. We both erupted into laughter after that.
If you like a good thriller… I highly recommend Intensity by Dean Koontz
