From bestselling author Dean Koontz comes an ebook original novella, the first of two tales that pave the way for his new novel, ASHLEY BELL. A woman with a good heart and a troubling gift. A man with a twisted soul and a terrifying talent. In this literal war of wills, only one can survive.
With just a touch, Makani Hisoka-O'Brien can see the deepest secrets that others conceal-and it frightens her. There's danger in the terrible knowledge that floods her mind and haunts her conscience.
With just a touch, Rainer Sparks can learn the biggest problems that others bear-and it thrills him. There's profit to be made making problems go away, by any means . . . including murder.
In a place as big as Southern California, these two might have never met and discovered one another's chilling abilities. But good and evil have a way of colliding . . . with shattering consequences.
When Makani Hisoka-O'Brien met the murderer, she thought he was a nice guy, perhaps just the one with whom she might want to share her life.
Last Light ticks all of the boxes; well-written, great storyline and good characters.
Last Light apparently paves the way for Koontz's novel, Ashley Bell. For the past few novels Koontz has released a novella that introduces some element of his new novel, such as character or plot. Mad genius that he is. I loved Last Light. Makani is a great character. I really liked the concept of the novella; how Makani meets someone with a similar psychic gift who happens to be a serial killer. Imagine being able to see such darkness inside someone? Tres creepy. I enjoyed the whole set up and the way the story is executed. Who doesn't love a twisted game of cat and mouse every now and then?
Last Light is very enjoyable and a quick read. Damn you Mr Koontz because I need to read Ashley Bell now.
