“You showed up uninvited and you took everything from us. You stole our sisters, our parents, our kids. You took the sky, the view, you took day and nights, A look across the street. A glance out a window. You’ve taken a view, every view, and with that, perspective.”

Malorie is book #2 in the Bird Box series and begins where Bird Box ends at the school for the blind. Malorie and her children leave amidst disaster there and find refuge at a camp where her children are teenagers and their day to day lives are focused on survival, until one day, a man appears and turns their world upside down – once again.

What are these creatures/monsters? Will we ever know where they came from or what they look like? I secretly hope not. I think the “not knowing” is what elevates the “creepy” factor for me. What could be so terrible, so grotesque that it drives people mad?

I love the tension and dread in this book. Gotta say it, Bird Box was better, but this was a nice sequel. Great book for spooktober.
