My Review :
*** 3 STARS ***
I'm just not exactly sure that I liked this book.
Weird, right?
I really enjoyed how the author wrote this book and the point of view he used. Jasper's inner monologue is really the highlight of the book and in my opinion, the real purpose of the book.It was pretty creeptastic and awesome how front the author dived into the mind of a could be serial killer. Jazz's struggle was intense and it definitely ripped at my soul with how much torment he went through. This book definitely crawled into the darkest parts of me and tore at the edges of human depravity.
My real issue with this book was that while it was definitely a mind-bender, the rest of the plot was just so predictable. It was unfortunately, exactly what I expected. And it was head-pounding-against-the-wall-frustrating that there wasn't a real sense of things coming together in the end. Like, great, they caught the copycat, but seriously, how did it really fit into all this?
While the book was definitely a different side of dark, I don't know if it was enough to have me continuing on on the series.
Only time will tell.
