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 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: 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...
