Will I love Lightning?

I love the way Dean Koontz writes about the impossible and makes me absolutely believe it. The impossible becomes plausible. Very well written and a real page turner.

This is one of Dean Koontz's older works but I found it to be engrossing and hard to put down.
It's a complicated story involved a widowed author, her extremely bright son, and a one time Nazi who has traveled through time more than once to make a positive difference in Laura Shane's life.
It's intense, it's emotional, and it's hard to guess how and where it will end.

This book is both atmospheric and deeply eerie, and I didn’t guess what was really going on.

From the time she was born, Laura Shane has had a mysterious guardian who appears out of nowhere and intervenes in her life for the better. The question of who he is drives the novel. Laura is orphaned by the age of 12. In foster care, she meets Thelma. Their tough childhood bonds them for life, and I think their friendship is a poignant example of "found family." When the supernatural overtakes Laura’s life, I love that it’s Thelma she turns to.

It… show more.
