Publisher Description
At 34, Internet entrepreneur Ryan Perry seemed to have the world in his pocket - until the first troubling symptoms appeared out of nowhere. Within days, he's diagnosed with incurable cardiomyopathy and finds himself on the waiting list for a heart transplant. It's his only hope, and it's dwindling fast. Ryan is about to lose it all...his health, his girlfriend Samantha, and his life.
One year later, Ryan has never felt better. Business is good and he hopes to renew his relationship with Samantha. Then the unmarked gifts begin to appear: a box of Valentine candy hearts, a heart pendant. Most disturbing of all, a graphic heart surgery video and the chilling message: Your heart belongs to me.
In a heartbeat, the medical miracle that gave Ryan a second chance at life is about to become a curse worse than death. For Ryan is being stalked by a mysterious woman who feels entitled to everything he has. She's the spitting image of the 26-year-old donor of the heart beating steadily in Ryan's own chest. And she's come to take it back.
Customer Reviews
Excellent writing, poor plot
As usual, Dean Koontz proves he's a master at the writing part of things. He can take an idea and present it so eligantly that you end up entranced by the tale... Where Dean always seems to suffer however, is the "story" part of things. This book, just like many of his others (Odd Thomas series anyone?) always has an intriguing plot and buildup, only to be left with such a poor climax, that it makes you wonder if he actually had any idea what the resolution would be or if he just enjoyed the buildup.
It's for this reason that I have to only give this book a 3. By the way, the voice acting was excellent.
Semi-interesting
The beginning and middle were ok, the end RIDICULOUS! I mean, insultingly ridiculous!
Almost
As already stated; the book has a great buildup. There are several twists it takes to get to a point when one would think they were about to be taken on a great rush of a ride to finish off, but unfortunately Dean Koontz finalizes his storytelling as if he was pressed for time. Characters which showed up in the last portion should've maybe had a little more detail in their story and the involvement of the supernatural should've had a little better explanation rather than simply bringing a message overlooked.
I had hoped to find an author worth retaining my audience but was left alone. On goes my search for a writer to captivate me in fear, anticipation, and engrossed in a story that could be true enough to be imagined lived and fantastic enough for me to remain faithful.
