The Intruders by Brett McKay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dex is a used car salesman who works hard to make ends meet to support his wife Reagan and their two sons. Although he hates his job, he chooses to make the most of it until something better comes along. Dex’s life seems normal until him and his family are suddenly kidnapped by strangers in the middle of the night. They are taken to an underground bunker and Dex is tortured and asked questions that he is unable to answer. When he cannot answer the questions, his kidnappers decide that Dex is of no use to them, and they now intend to kill Dex and his entire family.

Dex must act quickly to save himself and his family before it is too late. As Dex struggles to save his family from these vicious killers his entire life is changed. Not only is he fighting pure evil but in doing so he uncovers the terrifying truth that there is something far more sinister at work. Dex discovers that there are supernatural beings hiding amongst us and they intend to take over the world. The problem is that these beings are hiding amongst us in plain sight disguised as normal people. So, who can Dex trust to save him and his family?

I was completely blown away by this book and how well written it was. The author does an amazing job of capturing the reader’s attention from the first few pages which makes the book impossible to put down. The characters were well developed, and each scene was written in so much detail that it makes the reader feel as though they are there. Not only were the scenes written vividly but the author did a superb job of capturing each moment of action and suspense in a remarkable manner that few authors are able to do. The character of Dex develops throughout the book and as you read you learn more about him and what he can and will do to save his family from the danger that surrounds them wherever they go. The action is explosive and non-stop throughout as Dex, his family, and friends are on the run trying to save themselves and the world as they know it. I especially loved the author’s notes and thoughts written at the end of each chapter. I found it unique and interesting to read what his thoughts were while writing each scene. I cannot recommend this book enough and look forward to reading more from this brilliant and talented author!
