The House at the End of the World by Dean Koontz (Goodreads Author)

The House at the End of the World by Dean Koontz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found it hard to get into as there is a lot going on in the first few chapters and I was trying to sort everything out. Katie has bought an island where she is the only inhabit after a tragedy has uprooted her from her former life. Her closest neighbors on a nearby island are a couple with a teenage daughter named Libby and some sort of government research facility on the largest of the three islands Ringrock. At the beginning of the book Katie is flashing back to the past (the tragedies that had her fleeing her former life) and the present. We also get Libby's POV. And we learn Katie's only companion is a fox she has named Michael J. who has domesticated himself.

When the alien life form escapes Ringrock Katie and Libby are the only survivors of the catastrophe not only must they flee Molach, they have to flee Katie's island sanctuary in order to survive the nuclear blast that the government will trigger to contain Molach and then flee the government officials who will seek to silence Katie and Libby forever to prevent them from revealing the truth of what happened on Ringrock
