Customer Reviews of The Servants of Twilight

Very Kewl! :)
This was the first horror book that I have read in along time. And I must say "It is good to be back." The novel keeps you going, always wondering what's around the next corner. I love the characters Christine is a very strong character, she is to be much admired. Joey is a typical little boy, but you really wonder, could he be evil? And Detective Harrison is a good hero, he always seems to get Christine and Joey from point A to point B. I found the book very scary, not supernatural wise. But knowing what they felt like, being hunted. I couldn't put the novel down I read it within 3 days. I also watched the movie, which I do not recommend. This is also the first Dean R. Koontz book I have ever read, and I am also very impressed.

A Captivating Read
I am a huge Dean Koontz fan, and I have thoroughly enjoyed most of the books I have read of his, but I thought this one stood out among them. In all of Koontz's books that I have read, I have found myself saying "Yeah right, this is ridiculous and could never happen". Even in my personal favorite Koontz novel, Lightning, i found many things unbelievable. But in The Servants of Twilight, Dean Koontz crafts a believable AND enjoyable storyline.

Christine Scavello has a young son, Joey, who is an exceptional little boy who is very well behaved, and never gets into trouble. That is until one day, after a routine trip to the supermarket, a crazed old woman begins following Joey, believing that he is the Antichrist. At first this sounds insane, but then you realize that religious cults can indeed be as crazy as this particular villain, Grace Spivey. Christine hires a PI, Charlie, to help her escape the looney woman, and as in all other Koontz novels, they fall in love. It's very interesting to see the story unfold from all angles. You see the book from the point of view of the villain and the victims, so it is much more interesting. The book has many twists and turns to bring you to the end, and believe me, it's worth it. I highly recommend this book to any Koontz fan!
