The Noise: A Thriller
In this cinematic thriller from a New York Times bestselling author, two sisters must fight for their survival after a natural disaster in the Pacific Northwest.
In the shadow of Mount Hood, sixteen-year-old Tennant is checking rabbit traps with her eight-year-old sister Sophie when the girls are suddenly overcome by a strange vibration rising out of the forest, building in intensity until it sounds like a deafening crescendo of screams. From out of nowhere, their father sweeps them up and drops them through a trapdoor into a storm cellar. But the sound only gets worse . . .

Editorial Reviews
"A really entertaining thriller . . like Michael Crichton (who might have written something very like this), Patterson and Barker keep ratcheting up the suspense and the sense of impending doom, until, by the end, we wish we could read faster just so we can find out what happens next."―Booklist

Have read numerous books penn we d by the incredible James Patterson, and always enjoy them. This book was very different, in as much as I didn't feel as though there was an actual conclusion. However, I think that was kind of the point. This book was incredibly entertaining and interesting, and quite sad in parts. Well worth reading.

I do not review books generally especially James Patterson books because I love his books, but I just had to for this one, I have to say it was the strangest story line I have ever read and I read a lot, this is not my genre but it sucked me in to continue to read it to the end. If you like science fiction you will like it.

AUGUST 2021 : 3 STARS A mysterious explosion kills thousands in the Pacific Northwest and only two young girls survive. 16 Year old Tennant and 8 year old Sophie are checking rabbit traps when they feel a vibration that builds in intensity. Their dad drops them into a storm cellar. The sound only gets worse. I'll start by saying I LOVE JD Barker. His 4MK Thriller 3-book series were all 5 star reads for me (The Fourth Monkey, the Fifth to Die and the Sixth Wicked Child). His newest standalone book, The Caller's Games ('21) was also a 5-star read. His first collaboration with James Patterson, The Coast-to-Coast Murders was a 4 star read and I'm hoping for a sequel in this series. This book starts as a "slow burn"; just enough intrigue to be eerie and tense at the same time. I think the book went on about 100 pages too long. It was very repetitive. Overall it felt like a sci-fi plot which I personally don't like. Well done writing but if there's a book 2, I will not be reading. I gave this book a generous 3 Stars.

I was so excited to see a collaboration between two of my favorite authors. So I had to add this one to my TBR list when I saw it. It started strong and pulled me in quickly. It was action-packed from start to finish. However, the ending was strange for me. Also, I never really connected with any of the characters. Bummer. I still love both authors though.
