so-soI‘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.
pickA slowly unfolding mystery with a strong female lead character. A sprinkle of romance, some interesting bad guys, with wolves and dogs and a touch of the supernatural. Enjoyable read, although the first 1/3 of the book feels like Koontz swallowed a thesaurus. The MC lives remotely and I believe he was trying to set that scene, but it was more distracting than helpful. Still recommended, and know the last 2/3s is more normal.
It‘s always a good day when there is a book in my mailbox. I‘m grateful for The Poisoned Pen, an independent bookseller, in Scottsdale, Arizona, who sent me a signed copy of The Forest of Lost Souls by Dean Koontz. The gorgeous end papers are perfect for fall! The dust jacket protects a beautiful hardcover. I look forward to reading this!

pick‘They found the town silent, apparently abandoned.
But the terror had only begun in the tiny mountain town of Snowfield, California.‘
I bought this years ago and just finally got around to reading it. One of the best books I‘ve read by Dean Koontz.

Just started this yesterday, I'm excited to try it out 😄I am new to Dean Koontz
“An entire world hummed and bustled beyond the dark ramparts of the mountains, yet to Lindsay Harrison the night seemed empty, as hollow as the vacant chambers of a cold, dead heart.”
