Enjoyable characters, romance, and a creepy monster made this a most enjoyable listen.
It starts with a man named Travis out hiking alone. There he meets a bedraggled Golden Retriever, whose strange actions puzzle him until he realizes something sinister is trying to hunt them. After they escape from the woods Travis discovers that his new furry companion possess unusual skills and intelligence. Meanwhile, a young woman named Nora lives a lonely and sheltered existence--which becomes shattered when a creepy repairman begins to stalk her. Nora's path soon crosses with Travis' and his dog and an unlikely romance develops. Meanwhile the "outsider"--the creature stalking Travis and the dog in the woods--is still on the loose, despite the security team trying to capture it. And it has a strange compulsion to go after the dog, who also escaped from the research lab where it was created.
Long stretches where nothing is happening besides the romance between Nora and Travis (and Einstein, the dog) make this really not all that much of a horror novel. I heartily enjoyed these sections, even in they were implausible. There is some blood and gore and a few thrills in the scenes where the creature attacks, but I think someone reading it for a lot of action would be somewhat disappointed. Read this if you like following characters form warm, loving relationships with each other, and overcome adversity to make their lives what they want them to be
