There Came A Knocking

This horror book is an outstanding read that gets under your skin with its relatable yet bone-chilling premise—a home invasion, but not as you'd expect.

Two female housemates initially brush off mysterious occurrences as a likely prank from a past relationship, only to gradually discern that a far darker force is at play. Empty knocks, unsettling window taps, and the inexplicable opening of a previously locked window set the scene. The author masterfully escalates the atmosphere of unease, leading the protagonists down a path of dread and paranoia in the face of their unseen tormentor.

What stands out about this book is its incredible build-up. It grips you, making your heart race with the sheer anticipation of impending doom. The haunting fear of being pursued, the suffocating sensation of being preyed upon, and the unnerving uncertainty of the perpetrator's identity are palpably depicted.

The climax of this narrative is a suspenseful chase for survival. And the conclusion? Without revealing too much, it's refreshingly unexpected and just as disturbing, if not more so, than the events leading up to it. It leaves a lingering sense of dread long after the final page is turned.

For those seeking a spine-tingling read, this book is a must. Highly endorsed!

This is a fantastic horror book this delivers the scares at a very visceral level. It's a nightmare that everyone can relate to...a home invasion with a sinister twist.

When two female housemates experience what they think is a prank payback from an ex boyfriend, they quickly realize that something much more malevolent is going on. Knocking on the doors but nobody's there. Tapping at the windows, an open window that was previously shut and locked. This author really builds the dread as the women slowly start to succumb to their unwanted visitor.

The great thing about this book is that awesome set-up that has your heart pounding and waiting in tense anticipation for what we all know is not going to end well. That palpable feeling of terror that comes from being stalked, feeling like prey, and not knowing who or where your stalker is.

And when the inevitable happens, it's a terrifying cat and mouse game for escape and survival. Without giving away spoilers, the ending of this book is amazing. It doesn't have a traditional ending or one that you might expect from a book like this. The implications of this ending is just as horrifying as the rest of the book and will have you thinking about it after you've finished reading.

I absolutely enjoyed this scary tale and highly recommend it.
