Welcome to Litsy!

“The October wind came down from the stars.”

This book was so creepy and twisted. Koontz is one of my favorite horror authors.

Mitch‘s wife, Holly, has been kidnapped, and Mitch must scrounge up $2 million to save her. He is willing to go to the ends of the earth to bring his wife home. But how far is too far? What would you do to save the one you love?
I loved this book; it wasn‘t my favorite of his, but it definitely had twists and turns that I didn‘t see coming. It had me on the edge of my seat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Detectives Carson O‘Connor and Michael Maddison must save the world from a band of monsters called the New Race, engineered by Victor Helios a.k.a. Frankenstein.
I haven‘t been enjoying this book series nearly so much as his Odd Thomas series. I do like the relationship between Carson and Michael but I don‘t think it‘s enough to sustain the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The books on my Kindle “shelves” with a #KeyHole on the cover. I‘ve only read the tagged book so far although I‘ll be reading The Briar Club next month for #AuthorAMonth & @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list. The other 2 are in my #TBR

So good. I can‘t say more without spoilers but I don‘t think I‘ve ever listened to an audiobook that fast. I went on extra walks so I could get more listening time. I don‘t read a lot of suspense, but after this I probably will pick up more. I‘ll definitely queue up the series. A bit morbid at times and some body horror vibes, so be warned if you‘re squeamish.

I‘ve liked Koontz‘s books & the striking cover had me hoping this #KindleUnlimited title‘d be fun, but this listen fell flat to me. I wasn‘t expecting it to be quite so fantastical. Vida lives in a remote property, making her living illegally mining for gemstones & is so in tune with nature she‘s never had so much as a mosquito bite. Her BFF is a half wolf/half shepherd leader of a pack but when a billionaire murders her fiancé, she seeks justice.

“The dead don‘t talk. I don‘t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant.

I really enjoyed this story. The writing was great, and I really like the main character. Look forward to reading the rest of the series.
