Honestly this one was not a favorite of mine. It was hard to want to keep reading it, and it was almost confusing in parts, but it was alright. 3 stars.

What a fun ride. Classic Koontz and I didn’t figure most of the twists and turns . Maybe more of a 4.5 but I rounded up

Great read!

As alway, I love a novel by Dean! Great read- even better to listen to. The narrator does a wonderful job putting the reader right into the story. I love the way the story weaves and how detailed it is. Great book!

The book is very very slow at the beginning, so much so I considered giving up on it several times - especially as the lead character (despite red flags everywhere) seems to ignore all rational and logic. There were just some really unrealistic decisions that played out - in my opinion. It wasn’t until about chapter 50ish that I thought it was actually worth finishing the book. As others might have stated, the book takes a weird sci-fi turn at the end. Overall, disappointed in this book as I usually like Dean Koontz books!
