Odd Thomas is back in the latest book in the series! This novel, Odd Apocalypse, takes Odd to a mysterious estate called Roseland where things are not what they seem and Odd has some rescuing to do.

Fans of the series will enjoy this one, though some reviewers have claimed to be disappointed.

I love the character of Odd Thomas, which is what keeps drawing me to the books. I also really liked the choice of the next celebrity ghost!

The beginning of the novel, to me, seemed lacking just a bit, and there were two mentions I didn't like. One was just an opinion, and I'm fine with it, but another was an incorrect allusion to a piece of classic fiction. That bothered me a bit, but I was able to look past it and enjoy the rest of the book.

read the previous Odd Thomas books again!

Dean Koontz is known for writing about horrible people in the world and the acts they commit. He doesn't quite offer an explanation as to why bad things happen to good people, but Odd Thomas works to correct wrongs within the universe. I like that recurring theme in Koontz' works and this book is no exception.

It's a pretty good read!
