Loop me in, odd one. The words, spoken in the deep of night by a sleeping child, chill
the young man watching over her. For this was a favorite phrase of Stormy Llewellyn,
his lost love, and Stormy is dead, gone forever from this world. In the haunted halls of
the isolated monastery where he had sought peace, Odd Thomas is stalking spirits of an infinitely darker nature

Through two New York Times bestselling novels Odd Thomas has established himself as one of the most beloved and unique fictional heroes of our time. Now, wielding all the power and magic of a master storyteller at the pinnacle of his craft, Dean Koontz follows Odd into a singular new world where he hopes to make a fresh beginning—but where he will meet an adversary as old and inexorable as time itself.

St. Bartholomew’s Abbey sits in majestic solitude amid the wild peaks of California’s high Sierra, a haven for children otherwise abandoned, and a sanctuary for those seeking insight. Odd Thomas has come here to learn to live fully again, and among the eccentric monks, their other guests, and the nuns and young students of the attached convent school, he has begun to find his way. The silent spirits of the dead who visited him in his earlier life are mercifully absent, save for the bell-ringing Brother Constantine and Odd’s steady companion, the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

But trouble has a way of finding Odd Thomas, and it slinks back onto his path in the form of the sinister bodachs he has met previously, the black shades who herald death and disaster, and who come late one December night to hover above the abbey’s most precious charges. For Odd is about to face an enemy who eclipses any he has yet encountered, as he embarks on a journey of mystery, wonder, and sheer suspense that surpasses all that has come before.

    " Didn't get the whole coyote bit. Were they evil? But, it was entertaining. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Karen | 12/27/2013

    " I loved this book. the banter between Rodion Romanovich and Odd was so humorous I read through each of their conversations twice. Humor goes well with horror only so well in the Odd stories. this wasn't my favorite book in the series but it was just as enjoyable. the monsters in this book were a little too "out there" but it did leave room for the special effects movie people as they were hard to imagine even as a very imaginative horror fan. thanks Dean for continuing a great character and allowing us to read his manuscripts. @ "

    " The Pharanormal jouney continues. While seeking solice, the character is forced to face what he is and what he will need to do in life to continue living. Koontz takes you on a journey of the healing from loss of young love and letting go to finding peace in what his charcter is and what he will become. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Cindy | 9/26/2011

    " As if monasteries aren't creepy enough. This book is much better than the previous book in the series. It thankful broke Odd Thomas out of the emo personality that he developed in the second book. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Margaret | 6/25/2011

    " Odd Thomas to the rescue again -- apparently. This is the first Odd book I've read and probably won't bother reading more. I liked the abbey setting and I liked Odd, but I kept wanting the book to end so I could start something else.. just not my regular genre. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Michele | 5/4/2011

    " This is the 3rd book of the series. I like Odd, but this story is rather sci-fi and I am not sure I liked this angle of the plot. I am on to the 4th book though, I want to see where he goes from here. "
