I really feel like this book found me at the right time. It was an examination of race and the things that hide in the dark. It was so damn good. #books #jan2026

Meh. I am unimpressed by this book. It should have been 200 pages shorter and the title is ill fitting. Plus one of the main characters was unnecessary to the story. I will admit, the mystery lasted until the end and I will watch the show. I will not be recommending it, though.

#JanuaryBluesReadathon I‘m detecting similar themes in his books. Unhappiness with the current political climate, powerful men who behave like children, men who are misogynists, men who aren‘t misogynists, autistic boys who are cured by mystical means, manipulation of human and animal genetics and the failure of such experiments, the villains getting what‘s coming to them most of the time, some sly humor at the expense of his villains.

CatLass007 I think reading a lot of his books might get old after a while but right now I find them entertaining. Plus, he‘s been writing for a long time, and I suspect his writing has changed over the years. (edited) 6h
LiseWorks Interesting choice and to have you join us 40m
CatLass007 @LiseWorks I had some Dean Koontz books in my personal library but hadn‘t gotten around to reading them yet. I googled Zoom book clubs because following a recent surgery I wasn‘t around people at all and needed some kind of human contact. I found an app called BookClubs and joined a few. Some meet via Zoom and some meet via Google Meet. All meet monthly. One of the book clubs is dedicated to Dean Koontz and discusses two books per month. (cont)⬇️ 29m

CatLass007 I thought I‘d give it a shot because I know he doesn‘t write only horror. I consider this book science fiction, and/or fantasy, and thriller. Some things that happen are horrifying but I don‘t consider the book horror. I bailed on a book for another group, Sundry Book Club. The book was The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera, and the challenge was Science Fiction by a Sri Lankan Author. I always have high hopes when I start a (cont)⬇️ 20m
CatLass007 book but sometimes those hopes go unfulfilled. February‘s Challenge is Historical Fiction by an Irish Author and we will be discussing Hamnet by Maggie O‘Farrell. The other book club in which I‘ll be participating is the Social Science Fiction Book Club. I‘m still not sure what Social Science Fiction is but I‘ve enjoyed the books I‘ve read so far, even though I‘ve missed a couple of meetings because I confused one time with another. (cont)⬇️ 11m
CatLass007 This month‘s selection is by one of my “must read” authors, Becky Chambers, and is called To Be Taught, If Fortunate. So my reading tastes are pretty varied and I like almost every genre. 8m

The Haunting | Natasha Preston

I couldn‘t put this one down, would have been one of my top favorites for Natasha Preston but I wish she didn‘t leave the ending open to my imagination. I like neatly tied off endings unless it‘s a series HAHAHA. it drives me crazy putting together my own ending. Either way, Natasha Preston continues to keep me up all night reading her YA mystery‘s. 🤣

Two cold winter books down that have been sitting on my #TBR for a while. This thriller was okay. Not great.

I don‘t know what I want to read next.

The first half of this book dragged a bit, and I agreed with previous reviews I‘ve read. The second half was much better, more horror-like and gruesome, and kept a more fast paced. The ending was a bit of an eye roll, but it‘s still a 4-star read for me. I listened to the audio that features a multicast narration, and I think that made the book more enjoyable. #192030 #2025 #52BookClub26 #CharacterWithASecretIdentity

Loved this book. I didn't realize they were a series (when I first started reading them, so I have read them all out of order), anyhow, I LOVED it!
