A review by kellyhager
Killer Instinct by S.E. Green

3.0

I enjoyed this book more than most people I know, probably because I haven't seen more than a few episodes of Dexter.

Yes, to be fair, this book owes a great deal of its concept to that series (both on print and TV) but I think there's still a lot to enjoy with this book.

Like Lane, I'm fascinated with serial killers. (I am always so curious about the people who have no problems killing other humans. How do you get to that point? How do you REALLY not care or view others as having feelings?) Lane, of course, is curious because she may actually be one herself.

And, like Dexter, she decides to sublimate her urges by going after the people who deserve to die. (The people that we'd all agree deserve to die---the person who murders children, say, not the guy who cuts you off in traffic.)

I'm not sure if it's the first book in a series, but I do hope to see Lane again. And I'm very interested in seeing where S.E. Green goes from here.
