Literary Tension

That specific point in a book where you're excited to know what happens next, but have no clue what it could be; there is no peace until you find out.

"Dude, I'm at that point in The Three-Body Problem where the numbers appear and the universe flickers, I have no idea what's going to happen! The literary tension I'm feeling is insane!!
