My amazing brother-in-law recommended this to me and I LOVED it! Odd Thomas by @deankoontzofficial I 💯 recommend it! I’m way behind on this one you guys, I guess it’s also been made into a movie too (yes I’m going to watch it 🙄)! Also I definitely stole the background artwork above. Movie Fan Art: Julie Ann Flores (I only know that because she signed it 😬 found it when I googled the book). #OddThomas My Review: This is a fantastic book. Odd is an exceptional character and Koontz is a wonderful writer. I had never read any of his books before now. This book had me on the edge of my seat, had my emotions all over the place and kept me from being able to set this book down. Literally sat in one spot for four hours just so I could read it all the way through. The non-stop action and mystery, and the puzzle that Odd had in front of him to solve was enough on its own to keep me entertained. But add in a bit of metaphysical, psychological, paranormal twist and I was a goner for this book! Odd Thomas is sweet, complicated and altogether one of the most wholesome characters and he has to deal with some of the very worst things. Koontz did an absolutely amazing job with all of these characters and the storyline. I can't wait to read more of his work. Book Blurb “The dead don’t talk. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it’s different.
A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny, converge, is a testament by which to live. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChLEUIhPcEE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
