A weird book. It kept my interest enough to finish it, but just barely.
I've read or listened to almost all of Dean Koontz's books (even some written under his various pseudonyms). Ashley Bell falls somewhere in between his better works, in my humble opinion, such as One Doorway away from Heaven, Odd Thomas Series, to his lesser works, such as Midnight & Relentless. There is even a little of Odd Thomas in Bibi Blair's quest to find Ashley Bell, what with the haunting shadows and the relentless fog sent to hinder her. The subject matter is even a little timely, considering the rising amount of hate of others not like ourselves going on in the real world. Thanks, Mr. Koontz, for taking that on. Although I felt the ending pages went on too long, maybe Koontz is setting us up for a sequel.
The return of BiBi Blair, and her likeable cast of characters would not be entirely unwelcome, so I'm looking forward to another outing with Pogo, Pax, Nancy & Murph, wonderfully fleshed out and easy to identify with.
