I was really looking forward to reading this book. Stuff on serial killers interest me. The book's title drew me in and drew many others in when they saw me reading it.
I had very mixed feelings about this book. Part of me liked it and the other part didn't. On the upside, I thought the idea of a young boy having killer tendencies was interesting and that's how the first part of the book worked out. I liked the way it was set up to see the psychological part of him. On the downside, it reminded me a lot of Dexter. Seemed like there were a lot a ideas taken from that. I guess it would probably be hard to portray a young "aspiring" serial killer any other way. After about half way through the book it takes another twist. This one into the supernatural. Again, I had mixed feelings. I didn't really like this twist and wanted it to continue how it started out. The supernatural part was still good and well written and I ended up enjoying it somewhat. I think I would of liked it more if it would of continued like the first part of the book.
Will I read the 2nd book? Yes, I would have to say that it kept me intrigued enough to find out what happens next.
