Like many of Dean Koontz's books, this novel tells the story of several people whose lives intertwine in strange ways. Micky Bellsong is at a crisis point in her life. She is staying with her Aunt Geneva (an extraordinarily entertaining character) when she meets a young girl named Leilani. The girl soon reveals her terrifying homelife and then vanishes with her family. Micky finds herself on a mission to save the girl.

fans of horror that yearn for just a little bit more out of their thriller novels. Koontz delivers action and suspense, yet at the same time offers philosophy and theories to his readers.

the feel of the novel. It was exciting and suspenseful, and it provided a really good message at the same time. Very well-written with a great plot and full of meaning. A perfect novel!

Buy this book for everyone I know. I think everyone should read this one.

really good about life, as a Koontz novel typically does. I like that the author portrays a good message about life in this novel.

it's a great read!

Some find Koontz difficult to read at times, due to his twisted plot lines and deep philosophical streaks. In the end, I think his novels are worth the read, particularly if you're in the mood to think about the deeper meanings behind life and our existence.
