5.0

This series just keeps getting better and better! It is gory and quite shocking at times but since it is aimed for teens, most of whom love horror films, it isn't surprising.

I love Jazz as a character. He is growing and changing and finding out who he is. he is still worried he will become like his father, Billy Dent (the serial killer to end all serial killers), but he is also finding that he can use all that he was taught to track serial killers on the side of good.

You find out more about Jazz's family in this book and I am sure the next you will get a lot of surprising info on them since clues were dropped in this book that point in that direction. I love how his girlfriend Connie and friend Howie keep Jazz grounded and feeling human. I do admit I wanted to slap the crap out of Connie because of how she was acting and boy has it gotten her in a bad situation.

I was annoyed at the cliffhanger, a triple one, and am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series to see how they turn out and how Jazz, Connie, and Howie get out of the horrible situations that they are now in.

I highly recommend this book for all lovers of horror/true crime books...especially if you are a YA reader or someone who likes this topic without lots of cursing and sex (though there is hints it may play a part in future book).
