this review keeps deleting on me randomly so they’re getting shorter and shorter every time i rewrite it
i did not expect to like this one as much as i did but it was a really good time! super well written with very interesting characters and it was viscerally freaky and tense. 
can definitely tell that preston and child were koontz fans and i’m fs not mad about it
having the split perspectives of the antagonist and the mc was super interesting and really helped build the tension
CHECK TWS FIRST

The action bits are good but the book drags a lot with the characters internal musing. The killer's musing are especially drawn out and boring until

about a third of the way through when the characters actually "meet".

I started this audiobook on my way in to work. Barely a chapter in, and I was already asking myself WTF? 🤯  By the time I got to work, my heart was racing.  I knew this was going to be a wild ride!  What a ride it was!  The title says it all. This book is intense, from beginning to end.
