Yes! The Koontz vibe! Perfect way to describe it. 😬

And so lucky about the Catwoman pop socket. I can't do preorders because without fail, I forget I preordered, and I always buy a.copy at the store the day of release and then end up with 2 copies. 🙍 So I'm on a preorder ban, except for audiobooks. Audible tells me I've already bought a copy. Lol!

Oh oops! Yeah, that could be an issue I guess! I check my preorders at the beginning of the month to make sure I don't do that. I don't preorder that many books anymore, maybe 1 or 2 a month. Usually only if there's a really great preorder incentive!

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments I have been reading Above the Sky (Above the Sky, #1) by Jenny Lynne The Sky (Sky Series, Books 1-4) by J.W. Lynne Return to the Sky (Above the Sky, #2) by J.W. Lynne Part of the Sky (Above the Sky, #3) by J.W. Lynne Beyond the Sky (Above the Sky, #4) by J.W. Lynne

I am reading an omnibus version with books 1-3 but couldn't find that so listing them all separately. The Fourth book was released this summer. I am just starting book 3.
This is one of my all time favorite dystopian series ever. Highly recommended.
