    About this audiobook

    Reporter Holly Thorne is intrigued by Jim Ironheart, who has saved 12 lives in the past three months. Holly wants to know what kind of power drives him, why terrifying visions of a churning windmill haunt his dreams, and just what he means when he whispers in his sleep that an enemy who will kill everyone is coming.

    “A master storyteller, sometimes humorous, sometimes shocking, but always riveting. His characters sparkle with life. And his fast-paced plots are wonderfully fiendish, taking unexpected twists and turns.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune

      I'm 10hrs into the 14hr book and just can't force myself to finish it. The story is extremely slow and by the time something finally starts to happen you just don't care anymore. The main female character is so horribly over the top obnoxious. The love story is forced, sudden and incredibly awkward with zero chemistry between the characters (made worse by the voice acting, the man sounds 30-40, the woman sounds elderly). Near the start of the book you think maybe a wayward priest with a renewed sense of purpose is going to be the main characters sidekick and that would have been SO MUCH better than the obnoxiously rude intrusive female character. Not every book needs to include a love connection between main characters, I've read well over a dozen Koontz novels and wish he would get away from that annoying trope.
    • 5/5
      It had plot twists that kept the wondering if I was still reading the same book!
      One of his best!
    • 5/5
      Kept me entertained, love audio, the best would listen again and again
    • 3/5
      I didn’t feel the characters romantic connection. I listened to the audio version and felt the narrators voices to be inconsistent with the age of the characters. Holly ‘sounded’ like a 60 year old. Jim sounded like a 40 year old.
      The later half of the book took so long to conclude that I just wanted to finish the book.
