“I’ve got my strange little life to lead.”
Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
Odd Thomas is a series written by Dean Koontz. This series really meant a lot to me, as a good friend (basically my godfather, even though he was technically my sister’s godfather and not mine) had sent me his copy of the first book, Odd Thomas, and said I would love it. This was around the time he was diagnosed with cancer. The day I learned he died, I went to the book and right there in the bargain priced shelf was a single copy of the final book, Saint Odd, signed by the author. Naturally I bought it.
The series is made of 7 novels and 2 novellas. They follow the story of a strange young man named Odd Thomas, who has a bizarre gift. He can see and feel the dead. To him the dead feel as solid and warm as a living person. He also has very strong intuition, knowing when something or someone isn’t right. He uses this for good, helping the local chief in his hometown solve murders. And throughout the whole series, all Odd wants is to be a fry cook or a tire salesman and marry his girlfriend. But the world seems to want to get in the way.
I love this series. I don’t want to spoil it too much for anyone, but it’s one of those series that just flows beautifully. And Dean Koontz makes it so realistic compared to other books. Even as he faces cults and Satanists, serial killers and terrorists, he struggles and stumbles and most things that happen are all very possible events. Odd is witty, sarcastic, and has a somewhat dark sense of human. He can find the good in any situation.
I highly suggest this series. There are no cons to it that I can find. I look forward to reading more of Dean Koontz work soon!!

I have to thank my ex for turning me onto this series, and although I'm just now getting around to reading more of it, I am hooked. There's just something about Odd that draws me in. I also perpetually have the visual of my sweet Anton Yelchin (RIP) as this peculiar and dorky dead detective. No, he is not actually a detective, but technically he can see dead people and uses them to help solve crimes and mysteries for justice. Therefore, Dead Detective. Much like Odd and Stormy, I am drawn to this series in a way that says YOU ARE DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER. Much like the first book, I found the story to be super weird, but this one was a little too weird for me. Maybe it's because the psychopath wannabe made my skin crawl, but I didn't like this book as much as the first of the series. I think it is meant to be this way, for the crucial, heartbreaking moments of the first book set the tone for a sad, broken Odd in a sad, broken world. Either way, I'm super excited to continue to the next book! I recommend this book and this series to anyone that enjoys quirky psychic short-order cooks that moonlight as a champion of the dead, and anyone that enjoys Dean Koontz in general. Honestly, if you haven't at least read Odd Thomas, what are you doing with your time?
“‘You once told me that we’re here to eat all the good Mexican food we can,’ I reminded him, ‘and when we’ve had our fill, it’s time to move on.’
‘I don’t recollect being taught that in Sunday school,’ Chief Porter said. “So it’s possible I’d consumed two or three bottles of Negra Modelo before that theological insight occurred to me.’”

Forever Odd by Dean Koontz Book #2 of the Odd Thomas Series
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to jump back in the Odd universe and boy did I miss him. Odd Thomas, the amazing humble and simple serving human who just wants to help despite being dragged into the supernatural of the world around him.
The story takes place six months after the events of the first book which also brings to mind the heartbreaking end to Odd’s romance with Stormy. However, before Odd can continue to grieve, his best friend Danny Jessup is kidnapped by a crazed believer of the supernatural who is eager to meet Odd and is willing to kill, endanger, and lash out to get her way. Detura’s flirty with Odd is hilarious because you can see how uncomfortable he is, despite her pushes, but even though that is her strategy, Odd’s smarts not only tricks her, but save Danny who is trapped in the abandoned Casino.
Odd is a great hero to root for to because his goal is simple and his wishes even simpler. Throughout the book I think the reader becomes one with his community who is just looking out for his best interests. Each person who just wants to help or offers protection to him is personified by the readers. Throughout the trials of this tale I think I too wanted to help him anyway I could, but in truth, Odd knew how to control the situation and come out on top and all it really needed was a kind heart and good intentions.
Rating: 10/10
I survive by finding the sweet spot between reason and unreason, between the rational and irrational.
