The Other Emily by Dean Koontz

Lynn’s first review of the year

it was ok
Let’s just say, typical Koontz…the story line is decent until it’s not, believable until it’s dumb. Big thumbs down on this stinker.

Lynn’s last review of the year

really liked it
What a crazy ass ride. Like Holden Caulfield on steroids, but he’s a serial killer. 😳 The writing is outstanding, and I downgraded a star only because I really didn’t need the in depth (porno level) sex scenes.
