Odd Apocalypse

Odd Apocalypse
By Dean Koontz
Bantam Books, 2012. 355 pgs. Fiction

Odd Thomas, the boy who sees the ghosts of the dead, continues his adventures in Odd Apocalypse. While traveling with the mysterious and very pregnant Annamaria, Odd finds himself a houseguest at Roseland, an opulent estate owned by a reclusive billionaire. As usual, Odd attracts the attention of a local unhappy spirit, this time in the form of a beautiful woman astride an equally impressive horse. Her silent pleas for help lead Odd on a dangerous and unexpected journey into a world where reality is uncertain and basic truths are called into question.

Odd continues to be an endearing character, though this new adventure was not my favorite. I keep wanting to see more development to his character and story. Maybe we’ll see that in his continuing adventures.
