My Grandma used to lend her books to people all the time. She would write what she thought of them on the very first page of the books. On this one she simply wrote “very good” and she was absolutely right.

This is my first Dean Koontz book and it certainly won't be my last. The way Koontz tells a story is amazing. He paints a vivid picture that puts you right in the middle of things. This book was fast-paced, entertaining, and got you thinking. How far would you go to bring a loved one home? What are we capable of doing and what dark corners of our mind are we willing to go to when it comes to protecting our spouse?

I had a hard time putting this book down when I had to and holy cow, that twist! I didn't see that coming from a mile away, even with binoculars. I was on Anson's side right up until the big reveal. I was team big brother all the way. When he was revealed to be a manipulating scum bag I was FLOORED!

This book had it all. Action, mystery, suspense, and love. A great read that is worth checking out!

If I had any complaint about this book it would be that the ending was a tad rushed. But that would be all!

Damn, my Grandma had great taste in books. I miss her.

This book was an entertaining thriller which kept me guessing throughout. I liked how the narration switched between Mitch and his wife Holly as they both tried to outwit the kidnappers.
