If given months to find the right words to describe this
book, I would fail.
First of all, I’m a Dean Koontz fan, period. But this tale
wove such an intricate pattern of threads and in such a way that, A, it was
easily followed, and B, it not only kept you turning the pages, but kept you
guessing until the very last one.
Bibi, an energetic young woman, has a wonderful, and intricate
depth to her personality. You don’t even realize it’s a paranormal book until
you’ve been sucked into the story. Incredible imagery surrounds the complicated
characters to paint perfect pictures as the story unfolds about a young writer
with an inoperable brain tumor. Her valiant efforts to fight the disease is met
with incredible resistance from an unfathomable source.
Paxton, a Navy Seal, shares an incredible connection with
his fiance, Bibi. Overseas on a mission, he senses something wrong with the
woman he loves.
Through the “dark” exercise, the author lets you see through
Paxton’s eyes, experiencing what the Seal is seeing and feeling.
The romance is woven seamlessly in the web of convoluted
events. By far, I think this is Dean Koontz’s best work.
I can’t wait to read the next.
