by Dean Koontz
I normally really like this author's books, but this one just hit me weird. I couldn't really get into it. There were so many storylines going on coming to a convergence, but for some reason I didn't feel the pull to keep up with it all. Usually I like to try to figure things out. The ending was...
Opening Line: " Behind the wheel of the Ford Expedition, Amy Redwing drove as if she were immortal and therefore safe at any speed."I read THE DARKEST EVENING OF THE YEAR for a book club challenge although admittedly it had been sitting on my TBR shelf for a couple of years.

I probably should have realized that this novel wouldn’t work for me when I saw a dog on the cover. One of the most annoying aspects of Dean Koontz novels is this infatuation he has with dogs, how he gives them human attributes, how he holds them on pedestals for above his human characters.

A preternatural force melds the past with the present, heralding a cascade of events which begin as seemingly unrelated streams of occurrences, culminating in a darkly woven tale of revenge, redemption and restoration.
Seriously -- Dean Koontz can do no wrong in my eyes. His books are always great, sometimes amazing!
In my humble opinion ... not one of Koontz's best. More of an ode to the golden retriever. But since Koontz's Einstein is one of my favourite "characters" ever ... I forgive him.
Koontz has been on a bit of a career resurrection ever since Odd Thomas, but this one was a bump in the road. Not one of his better works, but not too bad UNTIL the ending. Wow. The ending totally sucked ass and left me with a bad taste.
Yeah...wasn't that impressed by this one...thought it would be MUCH better. I'm not a fan of his weird miracle/paranormal books. Hope his next book is better!
