Soon no one on Earth will have a place to hide in this novel about fears known and unknown by #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz.
In retreat from a devastating loss and crushing injustice, Katie lives alone in a fortresslike stone house on Jacob’s Ladder island. Once a rising star in the art world, she finds refuge in her painting.
The neighboring island of Ringrock houses a secret: a government research facility. And now two agents have arrived on Jacob’s Ladder in search of someone—or something—they refuse to identify. Although an air of menace hangs over these men, an infinitely greater threat has arrived, one so strange even the island animals are in a state of high alarm.
Katie soon finds herself in an epic and terrifying battle with a mysterious enemy. But Katie’s not alone after all: a brave young girl appears out of the violent squall. As Katie and her companion struggle across a dark and eerie landscape, against them is an omnipresent terror that could bring about the end of the world.

Critic reviews
“Natalie Naudus narrates with the emotion required for a Koontz thriller in which danger lurks around every corner.… Naudus is at her best as she deftly balances the older woman's slightly deeper voice with the frightened teenager's higher pitch.”—AudioFile Magazine
"The House at the End of the World is author Dean Koontz at his very best…deftly narrated from start to finish by the vocal acting talents of Natalie Naudus. Of particular and special interest to fans of dystopian novels, science fiction, and suspense thrillers.”—Midwest Book Review
“Koontz has always had near-Dickensian powers of description and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”—Los Angeles Times

The other problem is the ending, it literally feels like the book is missing its final act. I thought things were building up to one more big section bringing things to a finale, then all of a sudden the narrative just started summarizing how things wrapped up for everyone in a five minute conclusion. It's bizarrely abrupt, and was competitive unsatisfying.
So, very mixed overall. There's a solid core there, but it's brought down by the writing style, and the fact that it suddenly just runs out of gas and handwaves any real kind of resolution. It's alright, but not a strong recommend.
Good story, annoying writing style & abrupt ending

I loved this narrator. Such a pleasant voice is a good thing. I really can’t even remember if she changed voices to differentiate people. Not true! I do remember the Italian granny - who was the worst/best mafia mama imaginable. Wow! I have to agree with the suggestion there is no why evil comes about. It just is and somehow finds its way into the hearts of so many. Although I think she could teach it if allowed!
So I guess I did get grabbed and enjoyed, as always, yet another story from the rich imagination of Master Dean. I recommend that you read it!
I’ll Read This Again
