Hello everybody, he here. Welcome back to another book review. Today we are talking about Darkfall by Dean Coons. Yeah, I really enjoy this book. I will be completely honest with you. Up front I have to preface this. I didn't care too much for this read through but that's not because this book isn't great. This is one of my favorite Dean Coons books and it remains one of my favorite Dean Coons books but I remember this book note for note for note and rereading it this time. I think it's the third time I've read it was boring if I'm honest. There so many great scenes in here that I just I I knew and I hate it that I went back and I reread it. I've been here since I read it. I didn't think I'd remember that much about it but I did remember that much. So if I sound like I'm dogging on this book please do not feel do please do not take me that way because I truly and honestly recommend this book. I love this book. It's a lot of fun to read but I was bored because I've read it three times and I remember so much about it. I want to say that I remember this being my first Dean Coons book. I don't know. I'm not entirely sure but it might have been. Another thing is this wasn't originally a Dean Coons book. This was one of his own West books and he he says in here which is which is kind of funny. He says I owe special thanks to Mr. Owen West for giving me the opportunity to publish this variation on a theme under my byline. Of course Dean Coons is Owen West. Some other Owen West books are the absolutely terrible the fun house and the absolutely garbage the mask or just mask. I can't remember. I've hated every single one of the Owen West books that I've read so far other than this one. I remember loving fun house the first time I read it and nowadays I can't stand it. I can't even finish the book. I mean Dilly we're going through and doing our rereads. I couldn't even finish it. This one I finished it even though I was bored I finished it. It's a it's a lot of fun. Slight spoilers coming up for the monsters in the books. If you don't want to I will try to put a link not a link but a time code down there in the description to let you guys know where you can click to to get past this area. So spoiler slight. I'm not spoiling anything for the story. Slight spoilers for the monsters in three two one. So the monsters in this book I I seem to recall them being demonic rats. They weren't demonic rats. They are what's called in the book. They're goblins. Voodoo goblins in here. That's one thing that I did find a little silly that and the end of the book with the whole you know Voodoo is just a mixture of all religions so they were able to use holy water to defeat it. That kind of thing. I was kind of silly but it's still so much fun to get through this book. There's so many legitimately creepy scenes that that make me that make me want to say that it's it's still one of my favorite Dean Koons books. There's several scenes. There's one in a bathroom that really creep me out. The murders are especially brutal. Dean Koons has really gotten away from the brutality that he was so not known for but the brutality it was earlier books just aren't a isn't around anymore. He really glosses over things that he used to go into more detail about and as a gore hound myself someone who likes that kind of thing. It is gotten to the point where you know I don't care. He's been more flowery with his language. He's been more techno thriller kind of deal or whatever it may be. He's gotten rid of all the stuff that I grew up. All the stuff that I loved about him he doesn't do anymore. It's more about cardboard characters and the same old predicaments over and over again. It's got an old but with this book this book is a hell of a lot of fun. If you are new to the Dean Koons world and you want to see what he's capable of as far as fun books I would definitely go with this one. This theme has been reused quite often in his back catalog. I would say this book is a lot like TikTok. It is a lot like let's see here what is it a dragon tears. It is a lot like those books. It does have a supernatural quality to it. I love that but nowadays even in the odd Thomas books he tries to give a real world excuse for some of these things and sometimes it's much scarier if you leave that stuff a mystery. Maybe you guys disagree with me let me know down there in the doobly-doo. Next month me and Dele are doing a door to December. The door to December. I can't remember which one it is but that's what's coming up next. That'll be next month we're doing one Dean Koons book a month from here on out. But anyways did you guys like this book if you did let me know why if you guys didn't like this book let me know that also down there in the doobly-doo. But until next time I have been you this has been another Dean Koons book review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye bye!
