I had the flashes of The Stand, The Walking Dead, and even I Am Legend while reading this. I loved the originality of this book and yet it reminded me of other books because of the dystopian feel it has. This is a book that has had reviews everywhere. To me, this book is scarier than “true” horror, which makes the book more compelling in many ways. I liked feeling nervous and confused because I don’t know what’s going on. Readers will learn things as they do in the book. There are multiple viewpoints told in this book and there are many supporting characters as well. But how to study and hold back if you do not understand what and why caused this “noise”? How can you stop something you’re fighting with every fiber of your being? The noise continues and spreads across the Pacific Northwest, things spiral out of control. Another member of the team is Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Fraser, a career military leader who distrusts civilians.

Martha Chan, a psychologist who deals with long-term medical emergencies. What’s happening? What is the cause of the noise? What word does Sophie keep saying? How can Tennant help his sister? Where have they all gone? Where’s Mama? Where is Dad?Ī group of elite government investigators are brought in to investigate. Tennant decides to move to another place of residence if the noise or vibrations return. Her father brought her to the shelter with her dog Zeke for safety and when they leave the shelter everything has changed, there is no one in sight, her town is destroyed and Sophie is acting nothing like herself. The screams, the noise, the terror, the blood coming out of her ears, eyes etc. Tennant and Sophie Riggin, daughters of survivors living in a remote and isolated Oregon town, were out the day the vibration and noise began.

Her father sweeps her up out of nowhere and drops her through a hatch into a storm cellar. 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 from the woods, building in intensity until it sounds like a deafening crescendo of screams.
