This was a snoozer for me.
I read all Dean Koontz books as a kid. I can’t remember most of them so I started rereading them.
Thank you to the reviewer who said there is a movie based on this book. I will try watching that instead of finishing the book.

This was a gripping and quick read. Super creepy with just the right edge of horror.

Not terrible, but definitely not in my top Koontz books.
Christine, Joey, and Charlie are all very likable and as always, the book starts off with a bang and keeps you hooked for a bit. But then, it starts to feel like a never-ending chase for too long. There's action, but it's not anything new really happening besides being attacked and changing locations many times.
The writing was great as usual and I'm happy I read it, but wouldn't be a repeater for me.

Another enjoyable read from Dean Koontz. It had a very interesting plot that held my interest, and Koontz did an excellent job developing his characters throughout the novel, keeping the reader fully invested in them. Koontz did manage to delve into the territory of over-description as he sometimes does with his novels (how many times can a person hear about a blizzard?), but I can see why he did. He crafted a suspenseful, gripping plot which in the end made this book one of the more enjoyable ones I've read from Dean Koontz. Good summer read.

Sucky ending! Otherwise typical Koontz and reasonably distracting.
