Gwyneth also fights off and tricks an attacker, letting all of us know she isn't some wilting flower waiting to be plucked. Just one teensy, weensy little problem with that.Gwyneth, wore her hair spiked, wore heavy black mascara and makeup, wore facial jewelry, sunglasses, and fake tattoos on the back of her hands-dressing as a "Goth chick." The young woman in the story might be likened to Beauty, while Addison Goodheart might be likened to the Beast. Even to those few who actually know him, he requires of them no physical contact to his person, nor can they look directly into his face.
In making such excursions, he wears a ski mask and hoodie, and hides when others approach. He tells us that men and women recoil from him and to conceal himself from everyone, he wears black shoes and clothing and goes out after midnight, returning before dawn. That having been said, what kind of book is Innocence? We know that the protagonist, Addison Goodheart, calls himself a "monster," several times, a "troll," a ".miscreation, freak, abomination" (p.302). Yes, in the latter parts of the book some small amount of romance is there, but "romance" just isn't the driving force of the story. I've even seen it classified as a "romance novel." I think probably Nora Roberts, Lisa Kleypas or Julie Garwood might disagree with that assessment.besides, as you can see, no shirtless man graces the cover of the Dean Koontz book.Įven if you consider less titillating romance novels like Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, or Wuthering Heights, I'm still not sure Innocence fits the romance category. Putting Innocence into a particular genre is difficult when you consider the various elements of the book. Will Addison and Gwyneth find a way to overcome their personal limitations and work together? Are the ghostly apparitions good or evil? Will the whole world be doomed? As events unfold, Addison and Gwyneth are caught up in a chain of events that may change their world.but maybe, it just might change everyone's world, as well. Gwyneth also wants to bring to justice her father's murderer. I loved getting my copy and getting to read it over my Christmas holiday.Ī young man, Addison, living alone beneath the city, afraid to be seen by anyone because of his monstrous appearance, meets a young woman, Gwyneth, in a library in the late hours of the night. Innocence is a newly released novel, coming to us readers on December 10, 2013, just two short weeks ago. Many fans cheer the inclusion of dogs as an element into many of his popular novels the dogs are invariably a positive element of the story, influencing the outcome for the featured characters. Dean Koontz is widely known for penning novels in the genre's of suspense thrillers, horror novels and mysteries often these stories include science fiction, or supernatural and mystical elements.
