Phantoms
Author: Dean Koontz, Dean Koontz
Yesterday Snowfield, California, was a charming little town basking in the golden afternoon sun. Today it is a place of nightmare. An ancient, awesome force has spirited away almost the entire population of the town and left the bodies of those remaining bizarrely disfigured. What hope can there be for the few still left alive!?

This was a good book, but not as scary as I expected. I thought The Taking (also by Koontz) was much, much creepier. It's very well-written nonetheless.

I've always loved reading Koontz's books. They have a way of keeping me up at night. But sometimes he disappoints with his endings and that can have a way of ruining a nicely written book. Fortunately with this book I enjoyed the ending as much as I did the whole book.
It's about a cozy little mountain town in California. Jenny and her little sister Lisa are headed to Jenny's home in this quaint little town. When they get there it takes no time for the story to go wild. The town seems quiet.. way too quiet and after a while they find that either the people in the town are dead or missing. What could have happened in that time that could wipe out the whole populace? The county sheriff and other officers show up as they try to piece together what's going on. Without giving anything away, I would have to say this was a wonderful roller coaster ride with a satisfying ended. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed reading this book because there's suspense and creepiness. I found myself wanting to finish the book right away to see what will happen in the end. Great plot and the characters are wonderful.

Loved it, just like I do most of Koontz's thrillers!
