The Last Victim: A True-Life Journey Into the Mind of the Serial Killer by Jason Moss
5.0
What a page turner! I couldn't put this down & that's saying something, because I typically stray away from nonfiction books. I suppose I'm unsurprised, however. If I do get interested in anything it's true-crime!
Of course I found myself frustrated with Jason's false sense of confidence and naivety, but I had to remind myself - he's an 18 year old boy! Obviously he was naïve and overconfident. I truly felt sorry for him after his experience came to an end with those he interacted with because the trauma he had to carry around for the rest of his life following was evident. I'm both unsurprised and saddened that he ended up taking his own life in 2006. Thinking about the effect that must've had on his brother who loved him so dearly is heartbreaking.
I also wonder how his family reacted to the details of his experience after the book was released.
Overall, an easy 5/5 read.
If anyone has any recommendations on books similar to this one, I'd LOVE to hear them!
