Story
Raised in the wilderness by her late great-uncle, Vida is a young woman with an almost preternatural affinity for nature, especially for the wolves that also call the forested mountains home. Formed by hard experience, by love and loss, and by the prophecies of a fortuneteller, Vida just wants peace. If only nearby Kettleton County didn’t cast such a dark shadow.

Story
It’s 1965 and teenage Frances Adams is at an English country fair with her two best friends. But Frances’s night takes a hairpin turn when a fortune-teller makes a bone-chilling prediction: One day, Frances will be murdered. Frances spends a lifetime trying to solve a crime that hasn’t happened yet, compiling dirt on every person who crosses her path in an effort to prevent her own demise. For decades, no one takes Frances seriously, until nearly sixty years later, when Frances is found murdered, like she always said she would be.

Very well written and performed. The listener becomes a voyeur to a fast-paced life or death challenge whose characters are appealing.

Not a fan of wading through long scenes of slow discovery. I found the book difficult to finish. I wish I had invested the time elsewhere.

While listed as a thriller, the first hours are a tedious repetitive character introduction. I gave up, not even invested enough to continue. An expensive mistake.

In Frankenstein: Lost Souls, Dean Koontz puts a singular twist on this classic tale of ambition and science gone wrong, to forge a new legend uniquely suited to our times. It is a story of revenge, redemption, and the thin line that separates human from inhuman.

An outstanding accomplishment
Reviewed: 08-16-18
For some time have been put off by the title and subject matter, but decided to try. I was slowly eroded from skepticism and confusion and was completely swept away. The performance generated strong feelings of compassion for the hardships endured and the behaviors of the characters are instructive for the challenges of today.

Narrator did a great job with broad range of voices and story was engaging but heavy handed music notes became increasingly annoying. A very long book but fun for a summer listen.
