INTENSITY

When Chyna Shepherd is the only one spared after a serial killer murders her best friend's family, she must use every instinct and call upon hidden inner strengths to not only survive, but to save another potential victim. Kate Burton takes this Koontz thriller and uses it to twist the nerves, developing two distinct characters through the narration, each with unique traits. Burton switches effortlessly from a quiet, confidential delivery to crescendos of emotion. Not too much more can be explained without denying the listener the tension and discovery of the first listening, so this must suffice: Prepare for suspense and cold sweats.
