Mini Review:
I had read this book years ago but never finished the series. I really enjoyed it then I had just gotten distracted with other books.
So I decided to re-read it and finish the series.
I rated this one a 5 star before but only a 4 star this time, and I think that's because I knew what was going on.
Even with knowing what was going though I still felt myself getting so completely wrapped up in the story. It still had me trying to catch my breath, sitting on the edge of my seat. That's how you know it's a good book.
It is very dark, and very gruesome, as you expect a book about a serial killer is.

Mini Review:
This was my favorite of the series. It had me wondering what was happening next and again had me trying to catch my breath and sitting on the edge of my seat. I think the story and the mystery is better in this one, along with the "Oh sh*t" moments.

Mini Review:
This was my least favorite of the series. I felt like it wasn't written as well and it was very predictable. I still rated it a 4, because it was still good. Just not my favorite.
Jenn was talking about how dark it was and it didn't feel as dark to me. I also figured out the "big twist" before I was supposed to I think.

This was a really great, creepy, dark, scary read. If you like serial killers, blood, mystery, or horror then I highly suggest this series.

I loved this series when I read it and would someday like to reread. The second book was by far the best one for me-- which is surprising since middle books in series tend to not wow me. Glad you finished and liked this series :)
