    About this audiobook

    He lives in solitude beneath the city, an exile from society, which will destroy him if he is ever seen.

    She dwells in seclusion, a fugitive from enemies who will do her harm if she is ever found.

    But the bond between them runs deeper than the tragedies that have scarred their lives. Something more than chance—and nothing less than destiny—has brought them together in a world whose hour of reckoning is fast approaching.

    In Innocence, #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz blends mystery, suspense, and acute insight into the human soul in a masterfully told tale that will resonate with listeners forever.

      Stop Hating on Adjectives!

      This isn’t one of my favorites of Dean Koontz. It seemed to drag in too many places. It is, however, very interesting that I would read it in the midst of this pandemic and all the hate and riots in the world right now. Almost parallels what is happening now in some ways.

      This was ok but not quite as exciting or interesting as I normally expect from Koontz. The imagery was amazing-nobody can set a scene or make you visualize better. But the story itself was just ok for me.
    • 5/5
      Metaphors delight and startle me as I followed the story of such young lives. Each unaware of their true selves amongst the scared humans we all are.
    • 2/5
      Not a typical Koontz novel. I didn’t like this one.

      Wonderful story beautifully written excellent narration a voice that pleasant and easy to listen to, very enjoyable experience ?

    • 5/5
      Wonderful story! totally original idea and not what you expect at all. A fast paced thriller with enchanting & strange elements. Narrator was also very good!
    • 4/5
      Somewhere between a vampire thriller and a post-apocalyptic adventure, this book was different from what I expected. It has some interesting ruminations on morality and a touching enough love story to keep it moving forward steadily.
    • 3/5
      Adolescent angst is made much worse when dealing with vampires. In spite of the presence of vampires, this is not a horror novel.

      Easily one of my favourite books. Excellent! Very profound writing. I thought at first it was a new take on the Hunchback story but this book hits at the core of every man's morality, hope, fear and so much more.

      Great insight is shown; one should surprised by the knowledge of the world, virology, psychology, and theology presented. Additionally, it is a very good story that is as entertaining as it is provocative. Knoontz, as always, is presenting the tail with the enviable prose with witch each paragraph lives and moves.

      This has to be the worst book by this author. I really felt like I was trapped in a Seinfeld episode. It wasn’t about innocence, it was about nothing. However, the reader did the best he could with what he had to work with.
