The writing, though quite a bit more embellished than King's, is clean and highly evocative. Its strong characterisation of an ensemble cast, all circling a central event, reminded me of Stephen King favourites like Under the Dome and The Stand. This was another smart, creative and compulsive thriller from Koontz. But while there are powerful enemies converging the Bookman family's rural refuge to silence them, there are equally powerful - and miraculous - allies racing there to help. Or was it accidental? Jason Bookman had worked for a mega science and technology company with some very big secrets, and Woody, an ultra-smart 11-year-old with autism, is on the brink of uncovering them. Devoted follows Woody, his mum Megan, and their struggle to rebuild a life in small-town America, after the untimely accidental death of Woody's dad.
