NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
 
I see dead people. But then, by God, I do something about it. Odd Thomas never asked for his special ability. He’s just an ordinary guy trying to live a quiet life in the small desert town of Pico Mundo. Yet he feels an obligation to do right by his otherworldly confidants, and that’s why he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death. But when a childhood friend disappears, Odd discovers something worse than a dead body and embarks on a heart-stopping battle of will and wits with an enemy of exceptional cunning. In the hours to come there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope.
 
You’re invited on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror and transcendence to wonders beyond imagining. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas.

Ratings and reviews

The series goes Odd Thomas (the original) 2003 release then, Forever Odd, Brother Odd, Odd Hours, Odd Apocalypse, Deeply Odd, Saint Odd. There were also three graphic novel prequels released and 1 interlude novel. Just started the series now hopefully the rest of the novels are as good as the original. P.S I love Terrible Chester and miss Stormy!!!!

I liked this sequel enough, however I found it unable to hold a candle to the original. I thought the story dragged quite a bit in areas, and the antagonist lacking to what the first book offered. This book lacked everything that made the first one binge worthy.

Not as good as the first, I think simply because Odd is so out of the loop with his grief. So in a way it's fitting for the story. Still a good read though.
