Publisher Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense comes a riveting thriller that probes the deepest terrors of the human psyche—and the ineffable mystery of what truly makes us who we are. Here a brilliant young man finds himself fighting for his very existence in a battle that starts with the most frightening words of all…
At thirty-four, 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 twenty-six-year-old donor of the heart beating steadily in Ryan’s own chest.
And she’s come to take it back.
Customer Reviews
Favorite Book by Koontz
A lot of big time Dean Koontz fans are not a huge fan if this book. It jumps from a romance to a thriller to more romance back to a thriller and a pinch of a supernatural element.
I read this book about a year ago, and I'm so excited they finally released this on the iBook store. It took a little bit of time, but it was added.
If you aren't familiar with Koontz, I would definitely recommend this book. Easily. It is probably in my top 10 favorite books of all time. It kept me hooked from beginning to end, and I was not disappointed. It doesn't get extremely thrilling till about halfway through the novel, but it's definitely worth reading the first half and reaching the middle when it gets really intense is more than satisfying.
If you are familiar with his work, give it a shot. You may like it, you may not. I could not put this down and it made me more of a Koontz fan than ever.
Honestly…pretty bad
I’ve read more DK novels than I can count. I stopped some years ago, and threw myself back in again fairly recently — rereading his brilliant classics, as well as visiting his new material.
I really wanted to like this one. I thought the premise was fascinating and the villain formidable. But by about halfway through, I seriously had to doubt where the author was going.
The ending is godawful. I won’t spoil it for others, except to say that the ending is his worst ever. Like, makes zero sense. Basically, after all that…that?!? I guess even a master of his craft can misfire.
