Exciting, tense, and mysterious. This book held me spellbound. A great blending of science and fantasy. I was thoroughly invested in the mysterious force that had left people dead and missing—my mind in constant wonder, “Is the cause scientific or fantastical?” 

Interesting characters in a setting that felt very northern California. 

A fun and creepy read.

Lo dejaré en un lost-interest porque quizás es mi mood, aunque también sé que no ayudó en nada que la traducción fuera española

It was going so well and then it got all Dean Koontz at the end.

2.5 - would be better if it wasn’t a copaganda :/ plus a couple of really outdated racist language bits. the concept is fun! the pacing is weird! the characters are really underdeveloped. those are my main thoughts.

Well written, as expected since it’s Koontz. The story was gripping and eerie. I got lost in a few of the long winded descriptions, but the length added to the suspense.
