Reading an advance review copy now. Interesting first-person protagonist, lyrical prose, and the kind of slow-burn suspense that only Koontz can create!
The Friend of the Family is out today! It features a heroine who's odd enough to be Odd Thomas's sister. Here's the link to a review I wrote for Aspects of Crime:https://aspectsofcrime.com/the-friend...
I'm waiting on a library copy.
I got it on Kindle unlimited last night and it was available to read and audible and I listened to 20 percent already and it's an awesome book. I still have to read his last 1 too. I was debating on it but I'm going to now after this 1. Friend Of The Family is the Koontz I've missed in the past several books and I love love love 💕 The story so far

The human “oddities” in the Museum of the Strange are less wondrous than the gawking rubes had been promised. But Alida is something else. The real thing. Traveling Depression-era America from carnival midways to speakeasies, Alida is resigned to an exploited and lonely life on the road as the museum’s golden ticket. Until she’s rescued by two compassionate strangers.
Franklin and Loretta Fairchild see in Alida a gifted and uncannily well-read girl in need of a loving touch and a family. With the openhearted couple and their three precociously imaginative children, Alida finds it. Yet despite everyone’s overwhelming generosity and acceptance, Alida knows she is still a very different kind of girl. Her dreams bear that out. They’re vivid, unsettling, and threatening. Alida fears that they’re also warnings. And that it’s the Fairchilds who may need rescue from a bad, bad world.
Alida will do anything to help those she now holds nearest and dearest. Empowered with a purpose to vanquish evil, she will not fail her family.
