About this ebook
“Koontz gives [Odd Thomas] wit, good humor, a familiarity with the dark side of humanity—and moral outrage.”—USA Today
Once presided over by a Roaring ’20s Hollywood mogul, the magnificent West Coast estate known as Roseland now harbors a reclusive billionaire financier and his faithful servants—and their guests: Odd Thomas, the young fry cook who sees the dead and tries to help them, and Annamaria, his inscrutably charming traveling companion. Fresh from a harrowing clash with lethal adversaries, they welcome their host’s hospitality. But Odd’s extraordinary eye for the uncanny detects disturbing secrets that could make Roseland more hell than haven.
Soon enough the house serves up a taste of its terrors, as Odd begins to unravel the darkest mystery of his curious career. What consequences await those who confront evil at its most profound? Odd only knows.
“Odd Thomas is the greatest character Dean Koontz has ever created. He’s funny, humble, immensely likable, courageous, and just a joy to read about.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“[Odd Thomas is] one of the most remarkable and appealing characters in current fiction.”—The Virginian-Pilot
“Supernatural thrills with a side of laughs.”—The Denver Post

I liked the book and its departure from the "normal" evils that face him. Odd has a certain way about him that makes you root for him, even if he follows a mysterious woman that completely disregards his every question. It's infuriating! I have a much longer review for this book (on fable), but it didn't fit here. In short, I enjoyed the book and liked the mystery of the mansion and the surprising turn it took from the previous books. Tesla makes a cameo here and the addition of Alfred Hitchcock was awesome, old Blue Eyes didn't do it for me. Boo and Raphael were here and I love those dogs. Annamaria, blah! This book could have been 100 pages shorter as well, Koontz needs to stop with the filler. 4.25/5 from me.

This is a great story but it's clearly, without a doubt, the middle a much grander tale. If you came looking for satisfaction, you won't find it here, but you will find a great story.

Too much rambling description used as filler and not enough REAL story. Got so annoyed with all the blah blah blah that I ended up skipping over it and finished the book in a few hours
