This installment brings back the bodachs (which were strikingly absent in Forever Odd) and once again we have Odd racing against an unknown deadline to curtail an unknown tragedy. This is another wonderful Odd Thomas story, this time with a bit of a sci-fi bent.

I liked the change of setting (Sierra monastery in the wintertime), and the people Odd meets. It was a good mix of horror and thriller with a touch of humor.

In the beginning the style change was distracting, but once I got past that I flew through the book. Definitely Odd's most complex adventure. And it seems to lead right into the option for a fourth, so that's exciting.

Great book. Any Odd or Koontz fan should be highly pleased.
