My first book finished in 2023!
Typical Dean Koontz, a fast-paced thriller that kept me guessing to the end!

The name definitely is a great choice for the pace of the book. It's a book for you if you are into mystery thrillers like I am

“What will happen will happen. There is time for miracles until there is no more time, but time has no end.” Nice story, a little slow.

This was my first Koontz book. Couldn‘t finish. No flow. Annoying to read in my opinion. #bail #koontz #didntfinish

Guildedearlobe Koontz was my favorite as a teenager but lately he‘s been hit or miss. Velocity isn‘t one of my favorites, although plenty love it. I prefer Watchers or Servants of the Twilight. 6y
TheBee @Guildedearlobe I will give those a chance then! Thanks for your suggestion!! Appreciate it. 🤗 6y
Chrissyreadit @TheBee I agree with @Guildedearlobe classic Koontz is great- I remember loving The Strangers as a teen and I know I devoured his early books. 6y
YourWordsByDesign I‘m currently reading Odd Thomas, one of his older ones—it‘s my first Koontz book and I‘m only a quarter of the way through but it‘s pretty great so far! 🙂 6y

“A fine line separates the weary recluse from the fearful hermit. Finer still is the line between hermit and bitter misanthrope.”

I probably haven't read a Koontz novel since the early '90s. I picked this up at a used book sale because it was cheap and I remembered how much I liked Koontz back in the day, but really haven't thought about him since. What this is not is High Literature. Koontz is not the world's most masterful storyteller. He's no poet. But what he does, he does extremely well. This book was very hard to put down. A fast, fun read.
