Normally when I review, I summarize the book in my own words, but I think I will skip that for this one. Many people have already done that, and I think the artwork and the blurb speak for themselves.
The thing I love about Koontz’s writing, in which he does in Devoted, is that we meet characters in bits and pieces, and then they will all eventually come together in masterful storytelling. I also love that he includes lines from other books, such as “this momentous day” because it makes it feel like all the books are connected, and they are. Which might sound corny, but I love that I notice these things.
The characters are fantastic and ever-evolving, starting with Dorothy, and while she isn’t in the story for long, she makes a big impact because of Kipp. I love the science behind what is happening to the antagonist, Lee Shacket. His singular focus slowly breaks down as he evolves. He’s not the only bad guy in this book and as twisted as it seems, I like the varying bad guys coming for Megan, Woody, and Kipp because it creates the perfect tense atmosphere and you find yourself anxiously turning pages to find out how they will handle it.
A super fun, fast-paced thriller with the right balance of supernatural and suspense.
