Overview:
Micky Bellsong is a young woman at a crisis point in her life, unsure of where she should be heading and using a stay at her Aunt Geneva's to sort out her life. Then the precocious and deformed Leilani Kronk walks into her life telling stories of her stepfather Preston Maddoc and her drugged-up mother who both believe aliens will beam the girl into their mothership and heal her deformities before her 10th birthday. But tales of Preston's vicious past, including his hand in several murders, leave Micky believing that a far more terrible fate awaits her friend so when the Maddocs head off taking Leilani with them, Micky pursues.

My comments:
This is the 1st book I have read in months, I used to read a lot and have spent a fortune on books over the years but recently have listened to audio books or been glued to a computer but while on holiday decided to sit down and read.

I was given the book by my mother she had picked it up for 20p at some charity sale.

You very quicky get drawn into the book which is what I've always liked about Dean Koontz. I wont tell any of the story as the description above does that. It's a really good book, I gave it 4 stars rather than 5, because there were some parts that it seamed to skip over and left some unanswered questions but then again should a book not leave you wondering? It wouldn't suprise me if a follow-up to this came out.
