I Am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells
3.0
Well, this was surprising~. I spent the first third enjoying it, the second not really liking it, and for the last third I just couldn't put it down; I have quite mixed feelings about it.
Like a lot of people, I guess, I went into this in the mood for a good, realistic YA crime/thriller. Let me tell you, I didn't get what I was expecting. Wells threw the biggest plot twist into the works that left me a bit dazed and not so pleased, to be honest, because I didn't dig the direction in which the story was taken. The summary doesn't hint that there's going to be elements of another genre in there. I must admit, though, that it grew on me eventually and I really found the latter part of the book really entertaining. It was an exciting read, and really quite an interesting insight into the mind of an unstable teenage boy struggling to refrain his urge to kill.
