review 1: If you are a Dexter fan, this series is for you. I adored the first book, I Hunt Killers -- highly recommended. This second entry was solid, but not as strong. There was a bit too much with the girlfriend and not enough with his best friend (my personal fav character). Furthe...

review 1: This book is as interesting as it is disturbing. Usually these murder mysteries/crime novels are told from the perspective of the "good guy" or the killer but to have a story told through the eyes of someone who is good, but has the instinct of a killer is something new and I app...

review 1: This kind of blew my mind. I wish it had been longer. Lyga explored some really interesting things, and there were some really terrific jokes which, when the writer explored them more thoroughly, had terrific implications -- in the old sense of the word. I loved it. Colleen Doran...
Goth Girl Rising (2009)

review 1: This book starts off where the "Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Gothgirl" leave off. Although I think it might be able to work as a stand-alone even if you haven't read the first one. Basically, this sequel follows the first but instead is narrated through the eyes of "Kyra"...

review 1: OMG! MY heart was racing at the end. I thought I knew what was going to happen but I didn't. I was so totally engrossed in this book that I refused to speak to anyone until I got to the end. Great series by Barry Lyga. I would recommend the Jasper Dent series to anyone who wants ...

review 1: I read this book about three years ago, but it still sticks with me to this day, which in of itself is a great quality in a book. However, I appreciated the political concepts and ideas that were presented- they were daring, they were dangerous, they were important. Barry Lyga is...

review 1: Career Day is a special short story/bonus scene that accompanies the I Hunt Killers series. Since it's so short, this review will also be pretty short.Basically, there's a day where all the parents come in to talk about what they do. Jazz's father, obviously, couldn't be there ar...

review 1: If you are fans of the I Hunt Killers trilogy, Lucky Day is a must read. This short novella takes on the perspective of Sheriff G. Williams. By reading this, you will get a better glimpse into the life of the sheriff up until the discovery of Billy Dent. This is the first of t...

review 1: A sad little prequel to 'I Hunt Killers'. Gives a bit more backstory into the characters before the main storyline. I really enjoyed this. Lyga's writing style is simple yet he still manages to pack a punch. He can switch from comedy to downright chilling instantly. The end of th...
