Malorie by Josh Malerman
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley and Orion for the ARC.
The story is a brilliant sequel to Bird Box, heavily descriptive and relying on the senses completely immersing you in the story. Although I would say, less jumpy than the first but still incredibly eerie.
The story has moved on seventeen years since the beginning of the first book and the creatures have made many people lose their minds and die.
Malorie has raised Olympia and Tom in hiding and on the run and the kids are now teenagers, reluctantly at times, obeying Malorie's rules. But all of that changes when a census-taker stops by where they are taking refuge leaving behind a list of survivors, two of which Malorie knows.
Because of this Mallorie breaks her rules and takes her children outside into the unknown to reunite her family.
