Reader voices
The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“I'm not usually a Koontz fan, but this was good. Read it every free moment I had. One of the two storylines kind of ended.. lackluster, but other than that, worth a read.”
““There's no use wasting energy being afraid of devils, demons, and things that go bump in the night ... because, ultimately, we'll never encounter anything more terrifying than the monsters among us. Hell is where we make it.””
