For one man, they are the five most terrifying words of all…your heart belongs to me
One year after the heart transplant that saved his life, thirty-five-year-old Ryan Perry has never felt better. He’s getting back everything he nearly lost forever—his business, his life, and, with luck, his beloved girlfriend. Miracles do happen.
Then the unmarked gifts begin to arrive—a box of candy hearts, a heart-shaped pendant. Most disturbing of all is a graphic heart-surgery video and its chilling message: Your heart belongs to me. Ryan is being stalked by someone who feels entitled to everything he has. She’s the spitting image of the twenty-six-year-old donor of the heart beating steadily in Ryan’s chest. And she’s come to take it back.

"I just got this one for Christmas. Can't wait to dig in. So many books, :-) Awesome! Scary,riveting, and yet has a spiritualness to it. Speaks to the greed of people, etc. Very involved, yet I couldn't put it down. Didn't understand the end , until the end!!! Loved it."
— Starlyn (5 out of 5 stars)
" Not entirely what I would have expected (in other words, Dean Koontz is still surprising me with his writing.) I would give it 9/10 but rounded up to 5/5 on this scale. "
— Sean, 2/20/2014" This was a pretty good book. It was actually hard for me to put down! "
— Trisha, 2/19/2014" Ughhhh, I only finished this because I listened to it in my car, not very picky with audio books... "
— Ann, 2/16/2014" Another wicked book to keep me on my toes. Only wish he would hurry up and write more, love his work. "
— Jessica, 2/12/2014" May be in my Top 5 Koontz list:-) He writes some content here in a way I have never seen him write before; 5 words: in life there are Lessons :-) "
— Ari, 2/12/2014" About a rich, normally healthy heart transplant recipient that ends up being stalked by forces unknown, this book goes from being weird and quietly creepy to completley bizarre and ludicrous in two seconds flat. "
— Heather, 2/5/2014" Very good suspense story. The further you go into the story, the harder it is to put it down. I found it fastinating mixed with paranoia. "
— Paula, 1/29/2014" Totally boring for the first half of the book. Got a little better toward the end, but not at all one of my favorites of his. "
— Darlene, 1/21/2014" An enjoyable read, several twists in the storyline as is so typical of Koontz, though I felt even Koontz struggled to explain one or two of them himself! "
— Mel, 1/17/2014" I read this yesterday hoping for some holiday book fun, but I was disappointed. It was not a well written story at all. "
— Kara, 1/13/2014" The book has a slower pace to it, and the direction is at times unclear, but it picks up toward the end. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say the ending reminded me of the ending in "Cast Away." "
— Cory, 12/26/2013" Kept me interested. But after the end, there was a big part of the plot just ignored. What about the guy with the plastic bodies and all of the pictures of dead people? It's as if Koontz didn't now how to end to book, and did so at the last minute. Not his best work. "
— Renae, 12/25/2013" I usually love Dean Koontz - my go to guy for fun, easy reads. This one? Not so much ... took forever to get going and then when it finally did, the story line was a bit ridiculous. "
— Erin, 12/16/2013" Very easy read. A lot of alluding to The Raven, Tell Tale Heart, and other works by Poe. "
— Rena, 12/13/2013" second half got better the begging was borring "
— larry, 12/4/2013" Great beginning - very anticlimactic ending "
— Christi, 11/14/2013" The ending was a bit corny, but I love corny. "
— Kya, 9/5/2013" I am a fan of the writer, but with this book I wasn't really thrilled with where the book took me. I can't say more without a spoiler, but it is enough to say that the book is well written, engaging but not my favorite of the many books I have read by Mr. Koontz. "
— Elaine, 4/8/2013" I was debating between three and fours stars on this book. At first I felt that he was taking too much time developing his characters, but then it made more sense why. It had an interesting twist. The ending felt a bit forced and not logical. "
— Aksana, 4/6/2013" I wouldn't waste my time and read it again. It was a mystery, but kind of weired. "
— Kimberly, 12/31/2012" The book was as cheesy at its title. "
— Angiemarie, 12/25/2012" Only read 2 Koontz to date and this is sub standard compared to Life Expectancy. Over the top and predictable, hopefully a rare bad book by him. "
— Paul, 11/7/2012" Every now and then I give Koontz another try, and I felt obligated to finish this one because I accidentally bought it through my book club. I just don't get his popularity. Thin plot, underdeveloped characters, and really lousy writing. "
— Brenda, 8/8/2012" mystery, romance, keeps you guessing. "
— Emily, 6/14/2012" It was entertaining but not great. I kept waiting for something to really grab me but it never did, and didn't love the end. "
— Christine, 3/13/2012" This book was pretty good. Kept me interested, however I think it took too long to get to the main storyline of the book. "
— Susie, 1/31/2012" WOW, thought it was kind of slow and not like other Dean Koontz books I had read until the end. A look into the world of transplants that makes you very cautious. "
— Debbie, 10/28/2011" Great book and kept me reading! A must add to your rad list. "
— Laurie, 10/3/2011" I hate to say it, but based on this latest book by Dean Koontz, I might be done reading anything else from him...<br/> "
— Tracie, 6/13/2011" Different but still great Dean Koontz style! "
— Elizabeth, 6/8/2011" It was a fast-paced book. There was a bit of a lull in the middle. Not Koontz's best. "
— Lisa, 6/3/2011" Meh. This one really didn't do it for me. It looked like it was going to be good, and there were good parts in it, but overall it definitely wasn't my favorite book. "
— Kandi, 5/31/2011" I got to page 75 and the book just didn't capture my interest..... "
— Adrienne, 5/18/2011" This one was ok, but I wouldn't bother with it if you are looking for something that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It was pretty predictable and not at all scary. A good premise that just fell flat. "
— Samantha, 5/13/2011" Koontz is my favorite author, next to Poe. "
— Claire, 5/4/2011" It was a little tedious and weird <br/> "
