The Taking will be our March 2017 Group Read.
One of my favorites of his pen name books
Mod
You guys have actually hit a book that I haven't read yet. I hope to have it in before the end of the month.
Mod
I've got the audiobook waiting for me at the library so planning to start The Servants of Twilight tomorrow :-)
I'm looking forward to it. Happy reading.
Mod
I have started (chapter 1-8), Christine Scavello(mom-30+) and Joey(6) are in public & get trapped by an crazy old woman - saying Joey should die. A quick murder after their meeting is Brandy - their dog is decapicated (end of chapter 4). She hires PI Charlie Harrison(36), he shows attraction to Christine.

We sit around the kitchen fire
an' has the mostest fun
A-list-nin' to the witch-tales
that Annie tells about,
An' the Gobble'uns that gits you
if you
Don't
Watch
Out!
-LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE by James Whitcomb Riley
As quoted in THE SERVANTS OF TWILIGHT by Dean Koontz
Mod
The Servents of the Twilight was the very first book I read back in high school and I was a fan from that moment.
Do we agree Mother Grace Spivey (paranoid schizophrenia) is crazy chasing Joey & that he is the coming of the world's "Twilight, Doomsday and the Antichrist (followers of Jesus)". Would a Private Investigor be able to kill Grace, could he save Joey or is there another escape needed?
It's a pretty good book so far, but guys really? When I have read the book, we don't get conversations like this. Not fair! On Grace, I think she might be talking to the wrong side here. The side with a lot of heat and pain behind it.
Edit: forgot the stupid 'e' on 'the.'
Mod
I have noticed a reoccurring inclusion of BATS in Dean Koontz stories including THE VISION, THE SERVANTS OF TWILIGHT, and most recently in SAINT ODD.
In the beginning I thought Grace might be a fun crazy grandma, but now I'm nearing the end and I think if Grace was your grandma, she'd likely end up killing you.
I will truthfully admit that The Servants of Twilight is not one of my favorite Dean Koontz books - far from it. I've never really liked the book very much :-)
Mod
Based on the boy's mysterious father, the thought keeps crossing my mind :-)
Guess I'll find out soon.
Mod
Yeah, I agree. But you must admit, you at least need to remember Jesus's assessment that out of the heart the mouth speaks when reading this book.
Mod
I like when she has a black day and has her follower take off her clothes :-)
Yeah, that was something. Now that we are at the end of the month, does anyone want to start theorizing on Joey?
