About this ebook

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 . . .

Ratings and reviews

The Noise started off ok, but then it got boring, flat, too long and too dragged on. Easily could have been 100 pages shorter which possibly would of held my interest, but in this case NO. I've read better suspense.

While it has it slow points, and sometimes what feels like too much info, the ending is unexpected enough to warrant the read to the end. Not an amazing story, but a good one none the less.

Ehhhh, didn't really keep my interest. Wasn't suspenseful enough, and some of it I didn't even understand.
