Sorceress of psychological suspense, Ninie Hammon, brings you the first book in The Knowing Saga, a sprawling tale of spiritual warfare that spans a quarter of a century. If you crave sleep-with-the-lights-on suspense coupled with characters so true they'll feel like family, The Knowing will open a world you won't want to believe is real. But it is.

It starts with a school shooting...

It ends with the return of an evil as ancient as the bones of the universe.

When the hot call comes over the radio: “Code Red! Active shooter at Carlisle Elementary School,” Police Sergeant Jack Carpenter has only one job: find the gunman; take him out. Carpenter rushes into the school, fully armed and focused on cold, hard reality. But what happens to him there shatters the world as he knew it. And in the next three days, everything Jack Carpenter believes about himself, about reality, about good and evil and the whole nature of the universe will be challenged.

Can it possibly be true—seriously?—that invisible demons prowl among us?

That a winged creature more horrifying than any Hollywood-animated, computer-generated, mechanical unreality, exist?

And that the single-minded mission of the beast—a creation of absolute, soul-less evil—is to kill Jack Carpenter?

That’s crazy! Fairy-tale-science-fiction-horror-movie-bogeyman crap!

Bottom line: it flat-out cannot possibly be true.

But it is.

Award-winning journalist and suspense author Ninie Hammon has created a terrifyingly real world where the people fighting to defeat invisible monsters from the bowels of hell are folks you might bump carts with in the grocery store.

People so ordinary, in fact, that when the unexplainable rips apart their lives, when demons destroy their reputations and attack their children, you begin to wonder if the same thing could happen to you, too.

★★★★★ "The story arc grabbed a hold of me and did not let go till the end. Well, actually, it has not let go 'cause I am ready to pick up the next book and pick up where this one left off." -- Leah SP

★★★★★ "It's good vs. evil in the vein of Stephen King's The Stand. People are doing their normal thing - good, bad or indifferent - and all of a sudden it goes sideways. There were characters I cheered for, cried for, held my breath for - and some I was trying to think up ways to help get rid of." -- Renee Alice

★★★★★ "The book itself is kind of a cross between King's "It" and his "The Stand" but with Ninie's special touch. She has a way of drawing the reader into her world, making them a part of the story. She makes you feel as though you really know the people she creates. They come alive on the page for me with a reality that few authors can match...and yes, I'm including the "Main-Stream/New York Times Best Seller Author List"!" -- The Old Guy

★★★★★ "This book is as good or better than many of Stephen King's books. Ms Hammon has excelled with a dark supernatural story, that grows in intensity from the first page and is wrapped up by the last page. " -- Kotuku

★★★★★ "The Knowing" currently resides in the Top Ten in the last ten years I have read right alongside such books as "Unbroken" and "The Jakarta Pandemic". This book is one I have already strongly suggested my closest friends queue for their next read or… stop the boring book they are currently reading and replace it immediately with "The Knowing"! -- Dr. Thomas C. Mohler

If you enjoy a fast-paced, suspense-filled story so gripping you’ll decide the dirty dishes aren't going anywhere and the car will survive one more day without an oil change, The Knowing is the book for you.

A story that grabs hold and does not let go!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

When I first started reading this book, to be honest, I was not sure what I was getting into. However, the story arc grabbed a hold of me and did not let go till the end. Well, actually, it has not let go 'cause I am ready to pick up the next book and pick up where this one left off.

This is not like most urban paranormal books and I am grateful that it does not follow the trap of quite a few. There were no zombies, or vampires, not even a shape changer. Nor is there the ease of jumping into the realms of hell and back out again either. I love the rules she is following as they seem to follow right along with what is truth for what we know in the realm of possibility. Nothing feels forced like trying to make a square peg fit in a round hole. For me, it feels like it would if this sort of thing did happen. (If that makes sense.)

As to the characters in this story, once again there is no force to them either. They have this feeling about them as if you are a part of their neighborhood. A casual closeness that you would know if something happened to them and would offer to help in any way you could. They are not best friend close but more than acquaintances.

I believe this is one of the reasons I enjoy Ninie's writing so much. You are a part of the story, not just a sideliner. At some point, you become a part of the story and didn't realize it.

Story line exciting but...

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2016

This book was good with a couple of exceptions. There was one major character flaw the old black couple. I was agitated by their speech/ grammar. I'm black and my grand parents or great grandparents don't speak like this and while I realize each author creates characters as they seem fit I found it unappealing!! I'm only commenting because this stereotype has become increasingly more common. Normally I just stop reading write a poor review and delete. This time I will just say I found it distasteful and the constant use of the n* word by villains unnecessarily common.

GOD is in the know

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2017

The Knowing is a supernatural thriller that will make the hairs on the back of your neck and salute - if you have ever read Frank Perretti - well this is that on steroids, and starts from the word go. It is about a school shooting that brings on sightings of a demon - yup - a demon - a real life demon. You have a rag tag group fighting the demons - Andi - Daniel - Jack - Theresa. It is an actual battle of good vs. evil - the ultimate battle of time that we face every single moment of every single day. The demon was sent here by a prince of hell for a specific person to take that person out - who was that person - well it was...........nah - I can't tell you that - you have to read the book - and what happened to them - you just will not believe your eyes it is unreal - and the thing about it is it really happens - that is what is scary - but not scary if GOD is your GOD your shelter. What happened to that person? well - you have to find out.......this book is amazing and intense and suspenseful.

good suspense/good-vs-evil

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this novel enough to buy the second in the series. This is the story of good versus evil on the spiritual realm. Three 12 year-olds are being bullied by a group of 'bad boys' who suddenly take a turn for the worst. It's bad enough that they are bullies, but now they're equipped with super human powers. Of the three 'good' kids, a girl and two boys, only the girl can see what's really going on with the bullies--only she can see that these boys are possessed by demons.

Fast forward a couple of decades and the two boys had moved away, while the girl just disappeared when her father went to prison. A school shooting reunites the two boys--now men, one a preacher, the other a police officer, bringing back memories that had been lost of their childhood, showing them that the school shooter is somehow connected to a summer they can't remember.

This could be a 'Christian' novel, though there are some adult themes sprinkled throughout, and a lot of violence, but the faith of the main characters is strong by the end of the story. It kept me guessing and interested, and was a fairly fast read.

Horrors in the Line of Duty

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a very dark book about the evil nature of some people. I almost didn't read it, but had the author confused with someone else and thought it would be a light-hearted, educational book as it got deeper. By then I was hooked by the horror and needed to know that justice would be served. This is not a book for the faint-hearted as it will leave you with the sickening realization of the evils that are all around us which so frequently go undetected or unsolved.

I purchased this book a while back, but never found time to read it. Since then, I have become a huge fan of Ninie's writing and have read many of her other books. When I found out she is getting ready to release the fourth book in this series, I decided it was time to read The Knowing. As with most of Ninie's books, this one sucked me in from the very start. I fell in love with all the main characters - the good ones! - and I'm so excited to know that I will meet them again in the future as I continue to devour the books in this series.

Disappointed in her new genre

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been an avid fan of Ninie Hammond every since I read Five Days in May. I love her plots, her characters and the way their lives interact, and the way she keeps a story moving from page one. I especially love her inclusion of spirituality into each story line and conclusion. However, this new line of demon possession and brutality does nothing for me. It took me forever to finish this book as I was just not drawn to that level of excitement to see how it ended. I used to love Stephen King in his early days until he started going off the deep end. I seldom read him now. I'm sure I will not continue with this trilogy of Ms. Hammonds.

This is a great read and I'll be keeping an eye out for book 2.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a different genre of book to a previous novel that I've read by this author and I was interested to see how her writing of paranormal suspense (this book) compared to her thriller Sudan, which I'd enjoyed.

Good vs evil is the predominant theme of this book. The two male lead characters have to search their pasts (part of which seems to have been wiped away) to find information after a school shooting and sightings of a demon.

The paranormal element of the story is well done and I really liked the authors way of describing what was seen and felt when demons appeared. The characters combined to create an interesting mix of personalities where conflicts of interest added a little something extra to the main plot.

The writing is dark and foreboding and had me thinking about spirituality on more than one occasion. If there was an Amazon category of Paranormal psychological thriller, then this book should go in it. This is a great read and I'll be keeping an eye out for book 2.

Must Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

I loved this book so much, I had no expectations as it was free and had never read anything by Nine Hammond; it blew me away. It's the fight between the forces of good and evil storyline but far far more. The start of the book is a mass shooting at a primary school which moves so fast and then it becomes so much more. I am a big Stephen King fan and have recently finished The Stand(the long edition) and I think this book topped it because of the really likeable characters, plot twists and freshness. I have since paid for the second book and it did not disappoint.

Wow. What a brilliant read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2017

This book is a superb, thrilling read that grips you from the first page. If ever there was a page turner this is it. Was a surprise as I have read two other books by Ninie, which I thoroughly enjoyed and can recommend,but were not ' supernatural' thrillers. As a lover of Stephen King , Dean Koontz etc. I put Ninie right up there with those great writers. I read the last page and cried out , NO. I WANT TO READ MORE. Fantastic. Thank you Ninie

Great book had me hooked from the start, it kept me interested to the last page. The characters were well crafted and the twist of the flashbacks too there youth put the present into context. The slow unfolding of the memory of the main characters drove the story on without having the author explain what lead them to there present situation.

Such a way with words ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

Not one Ninie Hammon's strongest stories but what I always enjoy is her way with words. Ninie conjures up images, sounds or smells just with a few of them. They are a delight to read. My most favourite book of hers is 'Five Days in May: A Novel'.

'The Knowing: Book One' was enjoyable and is easily 3* but I just felt Ninie could have done more with the story.

I will always read books by this author as I know I am in for a lexical treat.
