suspenseful!

it was a pretty good story, but i kinda feel like it could’ve been told with a lot less words.
the suspense near the end was practically nail-biting, and although i ‘Knew’ how it would end, i’m hoping that there will be more light shed on Joey as he gets older. i’d love to know more about what happens in the years to come ..
as for Ms Huber, she was a relatively good voice actor, and i enjoyed her narration. there were just a few places where she kind of, dragged, or went into a monotone, but they weren’t enough to make me stop listening.
all in all, it was worth the credit!

another Banger from Dean Koontz.

I've struggled to find another new audiobook that I actually enjoyed. call dad ended once I settled in to a story from an old favorite author, Dean Koontz. he waste no time Meandering character Exposition or back story, instead of getting right to the point, and into the meat of the story. this time around, he doesn't dive head-first into all-out Supernatural
, but instead often Stratus defense between logic and absolute impossibility. I think this equivocation allows for the reader do employ their own imagination more effectively in deciding whether or not these characters lean towards magical or simply just Mystikal in nature. there is something simultaneously satisfying and aggravating when you have an tagonist that is so relentless in their pursuit and attack, and this is something that Dean Koontz is known for, so it's important to know this going in, then sometimes the anti-heroes seem to be absurdly lucky, but it does keep you on the edge of your seat. It's a satisfying story from beginning to end, with none of the lulls in excitement or even interesting plotlines, and it's guaranteed to satisfy any Koontz fan, or those who like thrillers in general.

The relationship between the mother and son.

I really liked the careful portrayal of details in describing things and thoughts. This made the story come to life.

It was a tough listen

I have been an avid fan of Dean Koontz since I was 15, so I buy any of his books (print or audible) when I see them if I don't already own it. The storyline seemed a little drawn out, like he had to hit x amount of words/pages and the person reading was ridiculously boring. Mostly Hillary Huber was too robotic sounding with hardly any change in her monotone computer generated sounding voice. Honestly, it took me a bit to realize it was an actual person and not a computer reading... I had to speed it up just to get through it. Maybe if someone else read the book it would have been better 🤔 Not sure I will purchase the next book or not yet. I may just need to get it in an actual book.

very intense really amazing.

this might have been the most intense books so far maybe close with lighting. I think lighting was a little better maybe this might be 2nd best or almost equal with key to midnight and phantoms. I think it might be a little better than whispers. character development was great and the audio performance was great.

Good story

Dean Koontz's characters, as usual, are vividly brought to life to give the reader good company.

Good Listen

I didn't dislike the book, but I have enjoyed other Koontz much more. I love solid endings, and this one left me wondering. Maybe there is a sequel, but I haven't found it yet.

You can't miss with a Dean Koontz book.

I read this one when it came out. Enjoyed it being read to me just as much when I read it back then.

it was ok

it was too drawn out for me. The character development was ok, the ending was a bit anticlimactic.

good but could have been better

I love Dean Koontz this was my 30th or 31st Dean Koontz novel and I loved it I just wanted more definitive answers and action towards the end of the book it's more than obvious the true conclusion but I just wanted more
