Bird Box by Josh Malerman

I read this book in only one day. Some hours to be quite honest. I had a lot of expectations and I'm glad to say that this book didn't disappoint me. It's full of suspense, the story is told perfectly and it doesn't allow the reader to stop reading.
The only low point is about the creatures; I was expecting a better description, but unfortunately it was not given. I had to imagine them with poor elements and I gave up quickly.
What made my eyes be a bit watery was the end, when the main character gives the two kids a name. A very touch-y moment.
