This book caught my attention from the moment I read the description and it kept it right until the last page. I knew this was a book I had to read to find out what was going on. I really enjoyed the main character in this book. I was rooting for him the whole way through to figure things out. The connection between him and his family was just great to read.
This is a new author to me and I loved the paced they injected into the book. It was exciting and a thrill to read. I couldn’t put the book down because I just had to know what was going to happen and how things would turn out. This was a truly great book and I can’t wait to discover more of this authors work.

What kind of knowledge would a down and out car salesman possess? Dex’s captors thought it was important enough to abduct his whole family. After many hours of torture the abductors realize that they have nabbed the wrong guy. Now with his life and that of his family are marked for death he must find a way to free them. Will he be successful? This was a book that started out with action and never let up the whole way through. If you like books that have twists and turns and will keep you turning the pages I suggest you give this a try. This was the first book inhave read by this author and I was not disappointed. If any of his other books are anything like this one he has gained a new fan.

What a unique book and a very interesting, new-to-me author! I was surprised to see how this book is set up to include the author’s notes. At first I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it but I’ve decided that I really loved it for this book. It’s great to get in the mind of the writer and see where they were going with something, or why they chose to write the scene the way they did. I really appreciate this unique angle.

Now about the book….wow!!! It grabs you from the first word and just doesn’t let go until it’s over! Dex is a regular ole car salesman, a family man. Regan, his wife is lovely and has her hands full with their two boys. They find themselves abducted and in a weird place, enduring all sorts of torture until they can escape. Or have they really escaped?

This ones got some pretty cool nuggets in it and I think they enhance the story even more. I look forward to reading more of this author’s work!

Wow what a story this was. It is a great Thriller that had me hooked from the first page. I just couldn’t stop reading which to me is a sign of a good book. The author has put a lot of effort into getting inside the minds of the characters and it has really paid off in the writing. You feel you are beside the characters and witnessing and feeling everything first hand which only makes the story more compelling. The insight into the characters mind also makes them more real and not just some words on the page.

Dex is a loving father and husband. He’s a bit down on his luck but he will do anything for his family. He seems stuck in his dead end job until the day a strange package arrives.
Dex doesn’t open the package however so has no idea what is about to happen.
When strangers break into his house and kidnap Dex and his wife and kids, Dex’s whole world is turned upside down.
Now he faces unimaginable torture while the strange men try to get answers from him. But he doesn’t have any answers?
What follows is a really painful time as he is tortured, while they try to get to answer he doesn’t possess.
Can Dex escape this hell and find a way of saving himself and his family? What do these people want? And is there some connection to Dex that even he isn’t aware of.

This book is a gripping fast paced read that will keep you hooked. It is full of danger and tension and will take you on a rollercoaster of a ride as the story unravels.

Wow! This is quite the thriller. Dex just wants to change his life for the better but ends up having a horrible ride that puts his whole family at risk. This book is scary, original, entertaining and very engaging. The author includes his thoughts in between each chapter. This was new to me. I understand that this book started out on Vella and that is why the format. I came to like it because you got a glimpse into the process of how the story came about which added another level to it. A definite thriller that creeps you eye. Those silver eyes gave me goosebumps. The characters, right down to the minute details, are so spot on and relatable that you can feel a piece of yourself in them. The plot flows fairly smooth. I recommend this for all those thrill seekers out there. Don’t forget to check over yoru shoulder.

The Intruders by Brett McKay is a bit of a gripping supernatural thriller. This is my first book from Mr. McKay so I was excited to see what he could do.
I was immediately pulled into the story, avidly reading along to find out how things played out in the end. I was so engrossed that I ended up reading the whole book in one sitting. I didn’t need sleep. I needed answers lol.
Dex Sanders is a down on his luck husband and father. Scraping by as a car salesman just to make ends meet. But what happens when strange things begin to happen? An odd package arrives. Then dangerous intruders abduct him and his family- and then try to torture information out of him? Things couldn’t get worse. Or could they? Dex will need to dig deep, and try to keep his wits about him if he has any chance of finding a way to escape to save his family and himself- oh, and the world while he’s at it.
An intense story full of danger, dramatic developments, action, violence, agendas, time running out, high stakes, discovery, challenges, a powerful supernatural force, deadly & determined killers, and a whole lot of nail-biting tension…. it’s well worth the read to discover all the gripping details for yourself.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Brett McKay!

This book really brought on the wow factor as well as the blow your mind factors as well! I was intrigued all the way through! The story had a mix of everything, I cant say it was one specific genre. And those specific words made this book all more appealing. I simply must say I was amazed and fascinated as I read!

The writing was spot on, and the author knew how to draw the reader in and hold them there to the final word on the final page. The horror side of this story really appealed to me, but then we got into some sci-fi elements, and my mind was blown. Personally the author notes of thoughts after each conclusion of a chapter, was a welcoming touch. I enjoyed reading the author’s thoughts as to why it was written how it was. The characters were great, realistic, and certainly had strong character development, but Dex really was well written. Family man, supports his family, but when danger strikes, he steps up and does whatever he must. The book was a tornado of events and emotions! I could not put this one down Freaking loved it!

I cannot say good enough things about this book or the talented author. You must experience my recommendation for yourself. Highly recommend. A must read for sure-to both the author and book!

Wow, what a book! I loved this story so damn much! It was intense, thrilling, terrifying and the way Brett had such great descriptions of everything, made it that much better. The fighting scenes, the way he explained how someone was hurt. Simply amazing. Dex is a badass and I loved every character in this book. The plot, characters, all of it..simply great. And Brett has author notes after each chapter and I LOOOVED that. I’ve never read a book with that in it. Gives such great insight on the story and why he wrote what he wrote. My first book by Brett and I’ll definitely be checking out his others. Was a real page turner for me and I read it in one sitting. Every time I tried to put my kindle down to do something, I picked it back up. It was THAT good that I had to continue and finish to the end. HIGHLY recommend.

After an unexpected turn flushes his chosen career down the toilet, Dex Sanders is struggling to make ends meet as a used car salesman. Despite the drudgery of the job, he manages to put on a brave face for his wife, Reagan, and their two boys, until the day an unsettling encounter with a stranger coincides with a mysterious package appearing on their doorstep.

Later that night, Dex and his family are abducted by a group of armed men and taken to an underground bunker, where Dex is tortured. When Dex can’t answer any of their odd questions, the strangers conclude they’ve nabbed the wrong guy, and the entire family is marked for execution.

With the clock ticking, Dex must free his family and retrieve the strange box that seems to hold the answers. But doing so means running from relentless killers, uncovering the truth behind an evil as old as time, and stopping a supernatural power that threatens the entire world.
