About this ebook
THE TERRIFYING, BESTSELLING, NETFLIX RECORD-BREAKING BIRD BOX IS BACK.
'Brilliant, insanely compelling' Daily Mail
'One of the best horror stories published for years.' Express
* * * * *
In the old world there were many rules.
In the new world there is only one that matters: don't open your eyes.
In the seventeen years since the 'creatures' appeared, many people have broken that rule. Many have looked. Many have lost their minds, their lives, their loved ones.
In that time, Malorie has raised her two children - Olympia and Tom - on the run or in hiding. Now nearly teenagers, survival is no longer enough. They want freedom.
When a census-taker stops by their refuge, he is not welcome. But he leaves a list of names - of survivors building a future beyond the darkness - and on that list are two names Malorie knows.
Two names for whom she'll break every rule, and take her children across the wilderness, in the hope of becoming a family again...

'The highly anticipated follow-up to Bird Box and it's even better. A deliciously dark, disturbing yet captivating novel that I read in one sitting.' Express
'Cranks the tension and terror to breaking point and beyond' Daily Mail

Not the usual book I would pick up but I'm so glad I did. From the way it was written to the constant twists and turns to the beautiful moving ending. A truly brilliant book. And there's another book in the series too ! Can't wait to read that next.
