Chyna
Shepherd is staying with her best friend's parents over
a school holiday and suddenly her entire host family is
dead, and only she remains living. Having always been a
passive person, not wanting to get involved in anything
frightening or risky (thanks to a very nasty childhood),
she suddenly decides this is something she NEEDS to put
herself in the middle of, to vindicate her friend.
So she
follows the killer. Learning that he has a 16-year-old captive,
she vows to rescue her as she was unable to rescue her friend.
At first,
the killer has no idea she's there, but when he finds out,
things heat up a bit, and there are a few heart-stopping
scenes of suspense.
The
book takes place in only a 24-hour period, and each moment
counts. And, as always, Koontz has a couple of intriguing
surprises up his sleeve --- the identity of the killer,
for one thing.
"Intensity"
is an exciting to read. Yet another fantastic adventure
from Dean Koontz.
We’ve
always got a good selection of Dean Koontz, Stephen King,
Virginia Andrews and many more
