Series: Odd Thomas
by Author Dean Koontz
Forever Odd (2007)
Uh oh, kids, it’s that time again. What time, you ask? Time for you to pull out your boots and grab your shovels because that synopsis is pure BULLSHIT! First of all, Odd does not communicate with the dead, he sees the dead. Big difference. I mean sure, he can talk to them, but unless...
Brother Odd (2006)
Third in the Odd Thomas horror-lite series about a young man needing to retreat from his horrific life.Horror-lite? Yeah, what else can you call it when the story is both warm and creepily weird?My TakeWell, I was dying to know what and why Odd sought out a monastery. And Koontz delivered with wa...

Deeply Odd (2013)
This was one of my favorite Odd Thomas books. I found the supernatural aspects surprisingly more believable than other entries in the series. I loved the characters Odd met along his journey and the insights they provided. I found Alfred Hitchcock to be delightful. I feel that they all moved t...
