By the time I had read the first chapter I wasn't sure I wanted to continue. I persevered through the next couple of chapters thinking I don't read horror stories, I'm glad I did- this is a great book. Loved Chyna, she is a wonderful character.

I really really enjoyed reading this book and ended up reading it in a couple of nights because I couldn't stop! I've read several of Dean Koontz's books and sometimes he can get too too preachy and religious and it can distract from the story. Sometimes it's appropriate and works with the story and sometimes not. This is one of his books where there was some religion but only in the context of the psycho serial killer. Koontz did a wonderful job with the writing and the whole story played out in my head like a movie. Although I hated Chyna's name, I loved her as a character and was rooting for her the entire time. This is a book that will stay with me for a while and want to reread it already!
I discovered Dean Koontz is a Christian by reading his brilliant introduction to "A Rat is a Pig is a Dog is a Boy" by Wesley Smith. I decided to read Koontz' own work for the first time because I wanted to see how his worldview comes through in his fiction. Most won't notice or care, but the antagonist is a product of existential nihilism whose life pursuit is feeding his "reptilian" desires while the protagonist is one holding to a traditional moral view and who sees a world of personal responsibility, hope, and meaning. I could go on with observations of symbolism and irony but I don't want to spoil it. It is not the best story I've ever read, but it's adequately entertaining and gets the point across.

"She had to trust that there was justice in the universe and meaning in the redwood mists, for without that trust, she would be no better than Edgler Vess, no better than a mindlessly seeking palmetto beetle."
I don't read much Koontz because they're expensive on , but I found this on Bookbub one day for $1.99 so I snagged it. I'm soooo glad I was able to. This has to be one of the most alarming, horrifying, sinister books I've ever read. I'd give it 10 stars if I could! The story grabbed me from the very beginning and I was in Koontz's grip until the harrowing ending!

My only objection was Chyna's inability to stay away. I wanted to take her by the shoulders and shake her! Some of her decisions were just ridiculous. But without them, I guess we would had had such an intense story, would we?
Within the first few pages this story will grab you by the soul, twist and rip at your core beliefs until you want to scream.... or discontinue the journey... but you cannot. And then that same journey down hill begins anew ..... and will scare the hell out of you.
Very well written. Heavy--loaded with suspense. I would give it a 10 if I could. Beautiful main character--you will not be able to put it down even when your stomach is so clenched you have to get away from the book to breathe. Great!
This is one of the most intense books I have ever read! It keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The writing is terrific, the characters are well developed and the action leaves you breathless. The author does a wonderful job providing an amazing amount of imaging giving the reader a detailed and often terrifying picture of events. Well done!
I've been such a huge Koontz fan that I kept trying to like this book, and I've resisted saying anything negative. But with all the love of another dog and sci-fi fan, this one was not up to standard. Many of the scenes were excruciatingly detailed, losing the page-turning pace I expect from Koontz and boring me into skipping page after page. The bad guy was especially perverse, and we spent far too much time psychoanalyzing this freak. I'd always found fun in a Koontz novel, even when it gets unusually weird, but there was no fun, no humor and nothing really lovable in this book. Glad I'm done. Sorry Dean. Hope you got this one out of your system.
By the time I had read the first chapter I wasn't sure I wanted to continue. I persevered through the next couple of chapters thinking I don't read horror stories, I'm glad I did- this is a great book. Loved Chyna, she is a wonderful character.
