This was a brilliant, chilling thriller. You get pulled into the story right away, and you can hear, see, even feel everything going on as if you were standing right in the midst of the story. There's so much I want to say, but I also don't want to give any spoilers. There are moments you will get chills running down your spine, like exploring a deserted haunted house. The characters have depth, even the ones that are a bit slimy. A bit of warning - this can get a bit gory, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip this one. If you're not turned off by that, then this is an excellent kick-off to a thrilling series. ( )

I didn’t realize I had this on my Kindle from an Amazon free day, when I read the second book, Stranger Still by Michaelbrent Collings. Any questions I had from the second book were answered here, but I feel both books could stand alone.

Horror of horrors, trapped in your house, no way out, a stranger dead set on playing a deadly game of cat and mouse. Who or will anyone survive?

The bogeyman…

The punisher…

Do you run? There’s nowhere to go.

Do you hide? There’s nowhere to hide.

Strangers is a psychological thriller that ranks up there with Dean Koontz and Stephen King. The horror is nonstop, nail biting suspense that makes each person face their shortcomings…and maybe pay for them in a gruesome way.

Thanks to my friend and fellow Kindler, Bill, for the loan!

I read this book with my Shelfari group. We have read a few books by this author in the past and liked them. This one was no exception.

This was a brutal tale of the isolation of one family; a family that had many secrets to hide. It was a bit too far out to be completely believable, but that didn't bother me. It was extremely fast paced-so much so that I read the entire book in two days.

When I was done, I checked out some other reviews, and there seems to be some confusion as to how the prologue fit the story. I have a clear idea of what I thought happened. If anyone wants to talk about it with me, I would love to hear from you!

Overall, I think this was a fun, fast paced tale, that was hard to put down. The premise was entertaining and my interest didn't wane at all at any time. This book was just plain fun! Recommend for fans of fast paced horror, tinged with some torture and severe pain. ( )

I can't believe I'm giving four stars for this - it is not my type of book at all. I couldn't stop reading though, because the character development, the careful plotting of the story and the interesting premise were perfect for me. There were two typos and one discrecrepancy that dropped my rating from five. ( )

Entschieden zuviel Küchentischpsychologie zwischen all dem Geschnetzel. Da hab ich vom Autor schon deutlich schmackhaftere Schlachtplatten kredenzt bekommen! ( )
