I grew up in the hunting grounds of the Richard Ramirez, aka The Nightstalker, an infamous serial killer from the 1980s. Our home was even painted in the colors that he preferred, so my sister and I would stay up late and scare ourselves silly with the possibilities. But even before all of this, Ive always been fascinated with murder mysteries, so when I Hunt Killers came out my interest was immediately piqued. A story centered on the son of one of the most horrific serial killers in history?3.5 starsI was in two minds if I should pick this one so soon after reading the true crime story of Ted Bundy. So this one has gore and can be icky at times but it has flashes of humor which was surprising. The book is well balanced where the dark side is combined with the humorous tones of the writing. I would still say it is a Dark read and to read this only if you can bear the sadistic workings of a killers mind.The book is from the perspective of 17 yr old Jasper Dent who is the son of
This book is full of great characters. I love Jasper. I love how strong and smart Connie is and how off the wall Howie is.And man, is Jazz's dad evil. He does love his son, but dang. He's horrible! He's trying to turn Jazz into a copy of him. A serial killer like him. Jazz struggles with his messed up childhood and trying to resolve all of these issues. He doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps. He'd rather prevent murder than be a murderer.This book is a YA version of Dexter in a way,
Sequel, please? Now? I thought this book was really really good. I would have happily handed out five stars, except for the fact that I had the killer's identity figured out less than halfway through the book. I feel very sad that Ms Dense seems to have been randomly replaced with Marple, but thankfully this novel is about a lot more than just solving the main mystery.I actually took longer to read this book than I tend to do, and most of that time was spent on the first few chapters. So I
I received a free download of I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga through Net Galley. This was a dark psychological thriller, that stirred up so many emotions and thought processes. It was not an easy read. The details of the murders ae graphic and not for the weak-minded.Three fingers on the right hand were missing - the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger. The thumb and pinky were all that remained, flashing devil horns while the corpse rotted in the ground. What did it mean?The lead
First of all, let me say this:Though it is shelved as such, I Hunt Killers is not a Young Adult novel. The book implies rape and contains graphic violence and brutal murders. Definitely not suited for anyone under the age of 16.___________________Now that that's settled...I have a love/hate relationship with thrillers. On the one hand, I love the suspense, the guessing, the adrenaline. On the other hand... I hate the suspense, the guessing, the adrenaline. I don't deal well with not knowing
Confession time. I may have a thing for blood, gore, and chills galore. Ha! Who am I kidding? Bloodlust would be a better description! I grew up on horror films and Stephen King bed time stories. SooooWhen I saw I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga on the shelf, I lunged for it! A serial killer book for young adults with huge doses of humor and chills? Yes, please! Im going to sidetrack gush right out of the gate here on this books gorgeous, gorgeous, gory dressing. It made me so giddy I may have jumped
