Before The Poison, by Peter Robinson

Interesting take on grief and how dissociation, distraction can bring you right back to it. Loved. It. Too bad the big bombshell in the last 20 pages didn't come as much of a surprise to me....

Odd Hours, by Dean Koontz (on CD)

OK, this was a very weird book. I haven't read any Koontz before, but I have to say that this character, Odd Thomas, has me hooked. He's funny and smart and can see ghosts. Sort of Melinda Gordon without eyelashes and lingerie and oh, the ghosts don't actually speak.

This one was about a group of lunatics buying atomic bombs and how Odd stops their plot.

Coffin Man, by James D. Doss

Good. Not quite as good as the last one, but fun primarily because Daisy loses her ability to see 'beyond', though she can still hear the ghosts and the Little Man. I just wish Charlie would get a grip and figure out how much Sarah likes him.

Full Dark, No Stars, by Stephen King

So humdrum = excellent stories from an engaging author telling tales to keep you on the edge of your seat. Wonderful. The best part is that the good guys almost always win, and the bad guys get what they deserve. Usually.

Radiance, by Alyson Noel

Interesting concept of what happens after death, with the idea that personal growth doesn't end then.

The Widow's Revenge, by James D. Doss

What a weird book! I love this series, but this one was terribly odd: the style is rather jokey, almost silly, vernacular while the story itself is about cannibals and serial murders. And ghosts, of course. After all, Aunt Daisy sees spirits everywhere.

Creepers, by Joanne Dahme
