A good book with a very interesting premise. Great character diversity and solid writing. There was even a good twist at the end.

A very interesting premise and reliably good writing. However, even though I generally like Koontz, this book was not a favorite.

Another strange and captivating book by Dean Koontz. There are lots of layers and dimensions in this one, as Koontz delivers an interesting take on the trope of writers writing fiction into reality. Very compelling and thought provoking.

A good conclusion to The Dresden Codex trilogy. This book had tons of action, suspense and tension, making for a fast-paced plot. There were diverse characters, disability representation, and an unlikely hero. But mostly what I loved was the incorporation of ancient Mayan culture blended with that of modern America. It added a whole extra level of intrigue.

Exciting and intriguing with some unique ideas that I found particularly captivating—I loved the idea of the “Kidnap Club.” Even the whodunit was a surprise to me. This was a fun read that held me spellbound throughout.

This was a solid book, but it felt a bit streamline, like there was nothing to really set it apart from other books in the genre. I will say that I didn't care for any of the characters. They all felt vaguely annoying, selfish, entitled and whatnot.

Exciting, tense, and mysterious. This book held me spellbound. A great blending of science and fantasy. I was thoroughly invested in the mysterious force that had left people dead and missing—my mind in constant wonder, “Is the cause scientific or fantastical?”

Well written and interesting. The whodunit was apparent very early on, which was a bit surprising and disappointing. But there was enough tension and intrigue to carry the story.

Well written and intriguing, with dynamic and diverse characters and a city filled with a rich and vibrant history.

So exciting and action packed. This is a compelling continuation in The Dresden Codex series. Interesting and diverse characters and a fast-paced plot. Although this one is set mainly in Germany and the US, there is still a good amount of Mesoamerican flair.

Fun and exciting. Rife with tension and danger. There were lots of intriguing elements: a writer main character, a character with a disability (diabetes), elements of magic, and the incorporation of ancient Mayan culture and games into this very modern story.

Exciting and enthralling. And dinosaurs! The kid in me still thinks dinosaurs are fascinating. And the adult in me loves how this book incorporates different aspects of technology and science, giving this novel a powerful feeling of realness. Kinda makes you wonder how much longer until this fiction becomes a reality.
