Dear Dean Koontz,
Let's break up. 💔 I know this may come as a shock, after all, I've loved your writing since high school. But. Over the last few years your writing has changed, and I no longer feel the same sense of joy when reading your books - instead I'm now uncomfortable and feel a sense of dread when reading. This book, which was so glaringly pro-gun, was the final straw. I just can't keep doing this to myself. It's not me, it's you.
so-soSo this one was…odd. I enjoyed the unique storyline and trying to figure out how the main character could survive but beyond that it was kind of meh. The way the author writes the internal monologue and dialog of the characters made them feel very disconnected and cold (which might have been the point) and I didn‘t really understand how the main characters‘ backstory really mattered to the rest of the story. Perfect definition of “so-so”. 🌟🌟🌟
I'm so excited to start the newest Dean Koontz book tonight! 🥰📚💕
In line at Chik fil a after a trip to Bam! to use my Christmas gift card.
pickAudiobook pick:
I haven't read a Koontz book in ages, and though Intensity will remain my favorite of his novels, this one is a solid pick. I will admit the first half of the novel is better, with the end dragging on a bit.
pickSolid Koontz. First I‘ve read in awhile but the style and voice are very much the same as they always were. I appreciated the strong female characters in this one, and nice to see a fox instead of his normal dog as the grounding force. Plenty of suspense leading up to the monsters and a nice relaxing end after all the action. An easy and suspenseful read.
