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

4.0

Killer Instinct sounded intriguing from the description so I started it hoping the intrigue would continue. It did. Lane is a high school student, with urges that most people, like Lane, keep secret. She is fascinated by serial killers, and is considering how to become one herself.

Lane’s story unfolds as she begins to learn more about her past, and the lies that are held there. Her urges may be hereditary, but without knowing the truth about her past, she can’t determine how to step forward into the future. While trying to find herself, she discovers that most things she’s always believed aren’t true. When the infamous serial killer “the Decapitator” has a victim in her city, Lane follows her curiosity and discovers things she would have never thought were true.

In keeping my review spoiler free, I don’t want to give many more details. I was convinced that I had figured out the killer about halfway through the book, but was pleasantly surprised at the twist, and ending of the book. Lane finally learns the truth about herself, and the serial killer is caught. This book is part of a series, but stands alone very well and is enjoyable without rushing to get the next book.
