Publisher Description
“[Odd Thomas is] one of the most remarkable and appealing characters in current fiction.” —The Virginian-Pilot
There's room at the inn. But you might not get out.
Nestled on a lonely stretch along the Pacific coast, quaint roadside outpost Harmony Corner offers everything a weary traveler needs—a cozy diner, a handy service station, a cluster of motel rooms…and the Harmony family homestead presiding over it all. But when Odd Thomas and company stop to spend the night, they discover that there’s more to this secluded haven than meets the eye—and that between life and death, there is something more frightening than either.
“Koontz gives [Odd Thomas] wit, good humor, a familiarity with the dark side of humanity—and moral outrage.” —USA Today
“Supernatural thrills with a side of laughs.” —The Denver Post

"I'm a bit conflicted with this book, actually. I love it, the plot and comedy are wonderful. One of my problems is that Jolie, when the book is from her point of view, is a little weaker substantially than I would believe someone in her situation to be. She seems too, pre-teeny, if I can use that word. Not that I've ever met someone who was in her position, but... I don't know, she's too little and too much at the same time. Also, for a book about a guy who can communicate with the dead, there was a serious lack of ghosts. Odd is always saying that he's not special, and all, but no ghosts in a book about a guy who can see ghosts? It's just a little... odd. (I do not apologize for that pun)."

" I have a soft spot for Koontz, literary candy. "
— Alicia, 2/19/2014 -
" I was so disappointed in this book. To tell the truth, I do not think this book was written by Dean Koontz. I believe it to be ghost written. It seemed like Odd Thomas was palely over exaggerated and the Jolie Ann Harmony character was too melodramatic. It seems like a ghost writer's best imitation gone wrong. I do hope Odd Apocalypse and Deeply Odd are far better than this book to make up the hours I lost reading Odd Interlude. I love the Odd Thomas series but I hate this book. "

" I thought this was better than the last Odd Thomas book. "
— Rich, 2/12/2014 -
" This book released after Odd Apocolypse, actually is a story which occurs before the start of adventures of the fifth book. We are introduced to a partner in adventure of Jolie Ann Harmony. This is 1 of three interludes. I liked it. "

" My first Odd Thomas book. Started a bit slowly, but then a rapid and unrelenting pace took over! "
— Jerry, 2/1/2014 -
" Quick read. Great, if you are in the mood for an Odd Thomas story. It's everything you'd expect, but nothing more. Personally, I like Oddy as an escape. Not the unrelenting dark side of Dean Koontz... some whimsy and charm serves to humanize even the supernatural. "
— Bob, 1/27/2014 -
" I delightful lil read for a lazy day. "
— Nika, 1/13/2014 -
" Having read this I know feel like I have the complete Odd Thomas story "
— Ben, 1/10/2014 -
" Quick read. I do enjoy the Odd Thomas character. There is no grey area, there is only good and evil. We root for good and evil is triumphed over. "
— Alan, 12/27/2013 -
" The more I read of this character, the more I like. And that the stories don't follow a predictable pattern. Each one is very unique. I'll be sad when Koontz writes his last "Odd" story. "
— Bruce, 12/23/2013 -
" As always, I enjoy the Odd Thomas books. Looking forward to the next one. "
— Bettie, 12/15/2013 -
" Formulaic crap. I've read three Dean Koontz books and I am not impressed. I hope i'm not required to read a forth. "
— Candace, 12/5/2013 -
" Classically Odd. Nice space filler while waiting for the next Odd Thomas to come along. "
— Andrew, 12/4/2013 -
" Enjoyed it just as much the second time around. "
— Matt, 11/7/2013 -
" This was another adventure for our hero Odd. It was a little shorter but not much. I thought it was wonderfully spooky. If you follow Odd Thomas, I'm sure you will like this one too. Boo is still traveling with him and for some reason I really like that dog. Enjoy. "
— Katherine, 11/4/2013 -
" Really good, especially for a short piece that he didn't originally plan for the series. "
— Lori, 11/3/2013 -
" Fun little read, the first person narration from two different characters was at times annoying, especially since both characters seemed all too similar, but was all explained in the end. "
— Marc-Antoine, 10/10/2013 -
" Picked this up as a trade-in at the towel hut while on vacation. Haven't read Dean Koontz in a while, but this one seemed less scary than others I've read in the past - somehow, I was expecting more of a supernatural fright, and the ending was tamer than expected. "
— Floy, 10/10/2013 -
" This might have been the best in the whole series aside from the first one. "
— Randy, 7/7/2013 -
" Excellent addition to the chronicles of Odd. "
— Joe, 5/25/2013 -
" I read this because my brother likes the "Odd" series. It's a great futuristic thriller. Light and fun at times too. "
— Cassey, 2/11/2013 -
" Well written,but not my genre. No interest in reading more Odd Thomas books. "
— Wanda, 12/10/2012
