As a fan of Dean Koontz, I was mildly disappointed with this novel. The characters seemed recycled from other stories and the plot was woefully predictable. Koontz has also become repetitive and verbose on certain ideals which can leave the reader feeling lectured.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Gore, Cannibalism
"The toy bone was conceived by the human mind, crafted by human hands, given to Bella as an expression of love, so it comforted her even when she was alone, while her family slept."
It's been many years since I read Dean Koontz. It felt like reading as a kid, sneaking under the covers. I love these people. And the dog! Oh my.
Everything a great book should be. Plus dogs.

This is like a love letter to the author's dog, and it's awesome. Throw in a mysterious stranger, some otherwordly happenings, really bad bad guys and really good good guys, and you have a great Koontz novel. Loved it.
