If you like Koontz...

Night Chill had great imagination. The plot opened up quite masterfully and I enjoyed finding things out as the main characters did and guessing along the way. James Lewis' performance was very strong...reminded me a bit of George Guidall, a very good thing to me.

Beyond just the main plot, you have a pretty interesting sub plot as you learn about Jack's past. That part was a little predictable but not everything has to be this huge mystery. Bottom line: I was freaked enough that I didn't want to listen in my room alone at night and yet enthralled highly so that I couldn't pull the ear buds out! This was a really fun story and I'm glad I took a chance on it!

Like a great Dean Koontz

Could not listen to any of my other books until I finished this one
1in 500 books!
Did not disappoint -

kept me interested

Really loved the narration of this book. Kept me interested until the end. I'd recommend.

A True nightmare for parents

A good, not-so-comfortable (in a good way), read. Just purchased book 2. Let's see what horrors Little Sarah will face now.

Loved it !!!

Fast moving and could not stop listening. I will look for other books by Jeff Gunn is.

Creepy fun.

Very well written book that will take you from one edge of fear to another. I immediately got the next book.

"The Place Where Nightmares are Born"

There are many twists and what-the-heck? moments in this story especially early on. If you are looking for a listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat, make you yell in frustration and chew your nails in suspense, this is it. Fans of Dean Koontz will enjoy this unexpected gem.

A bit of Koontz & King!

If you could sum up Night Chill in three words, what would they be?

Supernatural, thriller, interesting

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot ended up being a little over the top, but it did hold my interest. It reminded me of Dean Koontz's older books (which in my opinion were much better than his newer ones). The book moves along at a quick pace - no filler and not an excessive amount of detail as so many books have.

What about James Lewis’s performance did you like?

Just the right amount of drama, inflection and clarity

Any additional comments?

The ending leaves room for a follow-up. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author. I like his writing style.

This was intense! The plot felt like it was well thought out and put together, and the characters were engaging, save for a couple of things I found annoying. Personal issues, I'm sure. A few twists here and there, and I listened to this straight through to the end, only pausing for my mommy duties. But man, it's not like I need to go to sleep after that ending, right? I don't need to go to bed. In the dark. Psh! Sleep is overrated, anyway.

A Good Listen

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I found it in my library one day and don't recall getting it. It was probably on sale. The voice was great. The story was fun to listen to. I had a genuine care for the characters.I really enjoyed the ending. I'd totally listen to this book again.
