I agree with Kevin, this book was almost a put down and that has happened 2 times to me in my entire history of knowing how to read. The idea behind it is decent except for the white magic pixie dust, the teleporting sex scene between David and Caroline (I'm sorry but how does one have a complete...
Whitley Strieber has had a long, successful and controversial career, and now the 68-year-old has embarked on a new series about policeman Flynn Carroll, who loses his young wife to an unexplained abduction and finds himself involved in strange and dangerous situations.

”The paw. He turned it in his hands, looking at its supple efficiency for the hundredth time. He placed it on the desk, then picked it up again and ran its claws along his cheek. It would do its job well, this paw. The long toes with their extra joints. The broad, sensitive pads. The needle-sharp...
This is my first review, mainly due to the fact that I am bored and just finished this book today.The plot was reminiscent of a made-for-tv movie on the sci-fi channel, but if there is a movie adaptation of this, I am thankful I have not seen it, even though it maybe would have provided some semb...
World-building inspiration fuel, as pretty much every UFO-esque book I've picked up has turned out to be. Had to read this one because I usually seek out the ones that combine the idea of fae and religion and UFOs, and I thought this was the nuts-and-bolts aliens type of book.It's not. Actually...
We are not alone. Millions of people are confronting aliens that authorities say do not exist. Whitley Strieber--author of the legendary, #1 bestselling book Communion, which details his own close encounters--now returns to the riddle of aliens with The Grays. A triumvirate of Grays, known as the...
Majestic is Whitley Strieber’s historical thriller about the events in Roswell in 1947 and the creation of the alleged secret intelligence organization called Majestic. The novel follows discredited journalist Nicholas A Duke as he dutifully, if not somewhat skeptically at first, informs the publ...
(My Half-way-through review)Ahhhh, where to begin? I want to like this book. I enjoyed both of the previous books for the most part, but this one? Meh.Normally, I don't get caught up in the inconsistencies in books. I can overlook them and just enjoy the story for what it is. But I'm finding myse...
I found this older paperback laying around and decided to read it because the title is the same as my father’s name, Billy. I know that’s a strange reason, but that’s why I read this book. I didn’t read the quick blip on the back of the book, but quickly found that it was about a child abductio...
A brilliant novel that stretches the boundaries of both dark fantasy and horror. — Set in the world of modern American witches, Catmagic is full of action, terror, and wonder, enormously entertaining and profoundly human. — Takes place in Maywell, New Jersey, a sleepy little town, the forces arou...
An occasional siren wailed, mist billowed, shadows moved behind windows. After seeing the Post extra Bob understood why: this city of seven million lethal human creatures was stifled with fear. The beast of apocalypse prowled its streets. Ancient terrors were invoked. All was quiet. &...
If Trevor could come here, then surely he could go in the other direction, and that was urgently necessary, obviously.He paced, he looked for some sign of the gateway. Martin was out there right now in those deadly woods, and somebody had to save the guy, and Wylie thought it might as well be him...
He did not think about the fact that he was a man alone penetrating into a lair that was crawling with the creatures. That female — he had never encountered anything like that. It had been clean and perfumed. It had felt soft and smooth, if immensely strong. He had not seen the face, but he knew ...
She felt her blood forget her, her heart forget her, her brain forget her, her bones forget her. Throughout life the body holds on to the soul. Death is a forgetting, and when the body forgets, it loosens its grip, and the soul falls out. That is th...
The leaves still clung to the trees outside her window and the morning garden was dappled with sunlight, all very pretty and peaceful, and for that reason the scene seemed more like a painting on a wall in hell than something real. She looked at her personal cell phone. Th...
He was exhausted. He’d been up all night getting rid of the evidence that the damn kid might have seen. “Hello?” It was Szatson. “Yes, sir?” “What’s with this wild child?” “Excuse me?” “ ‘Wild Child Found in Exclusive Downtown Apartment Building.’ You damn jerk, this is all we need, drawing this ...
His plan was to jump. If no opening presented itself, he would have to die with his secrets. The chopper was floating in a dark sea of sky. There were no lights below and no way to determine altitude. But it had to be more than a couple hundred feet, which was easily enough to kill a man. He gaug...
It still seemed slow, as the screen changed from image to image. When she had calmed down enough to explore her new surroundings, she had understood that the SONY wasn’t a window, but rather that it contained thousands upon thousands of pictures painted in such extraordinary detail that they seem...
I’d slept a black, deep, dreamless sleep. As soon as I woke up, I remembered that something had happened during the night, but for the first few moments, I couldn’t recall quite what it was. Somebody had come, but not the room service waiter, as I had initially thought. It was somebody who had ta...
“They dissect these things at Wright-Pat,” Mac said. “So I’ve been told.” “No idea,” Diana replied. “We’ve dissected five so far.” “Flynn, that’s—” “Classified, but Geri obviously has need-to-know.” “Mac, leave the room!” Diana snapped. “He stays. He’s working with me. Also need to know.” She fum...
