Christine is so pessimistic. So annoying. Every idea someone comes up with to help them, she finds fault in, but she never offers her own solutions.

Was wanting to dwell into a book by Dean Koontz and found this one. Not my favorite but definitely an entertaining read that was just enough creepy to keep it interesting

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.
