Page M. (faustgirl) reviewed Wonderfully Creepy on 7/18/2009

I became hooked on John Connolly's books about 6 years ago, during a cold winter spent on the beach in Maine. I read Every Dead Thing and Dark Hollow, and found I was left looking over my shoulder and jumping at old house noises that were normally familiar to me.
I love the Charlie Parker character through out the Parker books his story unfolds, yet you always feel like there are more mysteries of his character to unfold, both good and evil dark and light combine perfectly in one person. Louis and Angel are the most wonderful assasins in fiction,they are lovers, partners in crime and have an amazing code of honor, criminals you root for because their crimes are often though not always for the greater good. Connolly's villians are some of the most scary individuals you can come across, think Randall Flagg from Stephen King, combined with Hannibal Lecter, intelligent, otherworldly and pure evil.
I would say his books are best read in order, and I feel as Connolly has become better acquanted with his characters, his books and characters have grown, each one improving on the next. I don't feel as if he writes books just to fufill his contract.
I keep his books, sorry. But if you like thrillers with a paranormal edge I feel you can't go wrong with John Connolly's books.
