What the Night Knows (↑)

I've finished another one! This one was by Dean Koontz. What the Night Knows. I don't usually get freaked out by books, but there were multiple times while I was reading this that I had to put it down and walk away because I kept getting the creepy-crawlies. I've read books by Dean Koontz before, so I know he's a suspense/thriller writer, so I shouldn't have been surprised by reading this, but honestly I was. Although it's very long (about 400 pages I think), it was definitely worth it, and kept me engrossed in the story throughout the whole thing.

Onward to the actual plot. This book is about a man who as a boy had his whole family viciously murdered before he killed the serial killer. Twenty years later, the serial killer's spirit comes back and possesses people who then continue his dirty work (killing families). The spirit targets the man's family, haunting/tormenting them for a few months before it all comes down to the 20 year anniversary of his family's death. A supernatural battle ensues where (hopefully) the man sends the spirit back into the pits of hell. They never really say if he does end up back there, but one can only hope/assume.

Anyway, I would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice creepy thriller, and doesn't get too creeped out by things that go bump in the night! Until next time, Happy Reading!
