Adult Fiction
Devoted by Dean Koontz.
Woody Bookman hasn't
spoken a word in his eleven years of life. Not when his father died in a freak
accident. Not when his mother, Megan, tells him she loves him. For Megan,
keeping her boy safe and happy is what matters. But Woody believes a monstrous
evil was behind his father's death and now threatens him and his mother. And
he's not alone in his thoughts. An ally unknown to him is listening. A uniquely
gifted dog with a heart as golden as his breed, Kipp is devoted beyond reason
to people. When he hears the boy who communicates like he does, without
speaking, Kipp knows he needs to find him before it's too late. Woody's fearful
suspicions are taking shape. A man driven by a malicious evil has set a
depraved plan into motion. And he's coming after Woody and his mother. The
reasons are primal. His powers are growing. And he's not alone. Only a force
greater than evil can stop what's coming next. -- Provided by publisher.

only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But the information she
acquires only makes her situation more dangerous. And now she finds herself
falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival.... –

a catastrophic solar storm with the capability of taking down the power grids
is approaching, Sela must come out of her shell and be the leader Wears Valley

lower his guard. As panic spreads, Sela and Ben discover that in the dark, cut
off from the outside world, there's no more playing it safe-in life or in love.
