Book Review By Tracey Ray
By the Light of the Moon by Dean Koontz

Dylan has devoted his life to caring for his autistic brother Shepherd. Never could they imagine in a million years how they would meet and become unseemly travel companions with Jillian Jackson. All three were attacked and injected with some unknown, psychotropic drug while overnighting in the same motel. Not knowing each other before, they were now bonded for life. Fearing for their lives, they fled together having no guide except for their newly emergent mental powers. Each discovered they had a new gift that scared them half to death, yet together, the powers enabled them to face the perilous paths ahead.
