I have not done this in a while...stayed up well into the night to finish reading a book.  The book is Monster, an older novel by Jonathan Kellerman.  Most of his books revolve around the character of Dr Alex Delaware, a retired psychologist who does consult work for the Los Angeles PD.  Thing is, it was a great book, but not one of his better Delaware novels.  At least in my opinion.  But the story grabbed me, and I just had to see how it turned out.

If you like psychological mystery or suspense, I do reccomend Kellerman's books.

I think I need a life.  I just did it again.  Bought this book late yesterday afternoon.  Started reading it after dinner, and guess what, had it finished early THIS afternoon.  A great book by Dean Koontz.  One of his best, in my opinion. 

The Darkest Evening of the Year(2007)
A novel by Dean Koontz
 
 


With each of his #1 New York Times bestsellers, Dean Koontz has displayed an unparalleled ability to entertain and enlighten readers with novels that capture the essence of our times even as they bring us to the edge of our seats. Now he delivers a heart-gripping tour de force he's been waiting years to write, at once a love story, a thrilling adventure, and a masterwork of suspense that redefines the boundaries of primal fear - and of enduring devotion.

Amy Redwing has dedicated her life to the southern California organization she founded to rescue abandoned and endangered golden retrievers. Among dog lovers, she's a legend for the risks she'll take to save an animal from abuse. Among her friends, Amy's heedless devotion is often cause for concern. To widower Brian McCarthy, whose commitment she can't allow herself to return, Amy's behavior is far more puzzling and hides a shattering secret.

No one is surprised when Amy risks her life to save Nickie, nor when she takes the female golden into her home. The bond between Amy and Nickie is immediate and uncanny. Even her two other goldens, Fred and Ethel, recognize Nickie as special, a natural alpha. But the instant joy Nickie brings is shadowed by a series of eerie incidents. An ominous stranger. A mysterious home invasion.

And the unmistakable sense that someone is watching Amy's every move and that, whoever it is, he's not alone.

Someone has come back to turn Amy into the desperate, hunted creature she's always been there to save. But now there's no one to save Amy and those she loves. From its breathtaking opening scene to its shocking climax, The Darkest Evening of the Year is Dean Koontz at his finest, a transcendent thriller certain to have readers turning pages until dawn.

I love Dean Koontz!

My husband and I actually turned our daughters onto him.  The last couple long family vacations where we drove for days...we got a couple of his books on tape to listen to on the way.  The girls loved it, and have started reading him on their own now. 

I haven't read that one yet...but I'll have to pick it up soon now.  ::thumbs::

:thanks:
