Killer Instinct by S.E. Green

3.0

Honestly what the heck have I been reading for the past few hours? This book, the story, the plot, the main character/characters ARE EFFED UP. I mean I guess thats bound since the plot is a psychological topic anyway - what with serial killers and what not.
I was intrigued and obviously this is what kept me reading on. I wanted to know who this psycho 'decapitator' was. I was interested in what Lane was going to discover, going to do. It was very interesting and kept me reading.
A real page-turner.
Although i only gave it three stars because i felt thats what it deserved. I didnt really like the main character Lane - even though she was intriguing. The writing style was better than okay but definitely not one of the best - there were times when the author literally just used the same sentence for something like 10 times. The plotline was crazy and kind of intense but kept you on your toes - i liked that about it.
I hate the ending. Despised it. Just dont like the way it ended. It was not satisfying for me as a reader. The whole story is complicated and dramatic and it was as if the way it ended was the easy way out. It couldve been better.
My favourite character was probably Justin and that dog lane loved.
The involvement of Dr.Issa was confusing in the story line, now that i think about it. I dont know what the purpose of him was - well i mean apart from his brother dating lane and lanes crush on him. He was weird. We barely got to know him. He is another unsatisfying issue.
I liked Victor, the stepdad. He was a good character and had a caring personality even for a child that wasnt his -Lane.
Even though Daisy was annoying most of the time, I liked that she was a character in this story. It made it a much more intriguing novel to read. I enjoyed her character development in the book. She went from an outright slut to realising how wrong her behaviour and attitude was.
I did enjoy this book. I liked how Lane was a very Get-to-the-point character. The bluntness of the writing followed that personality of hers.
I also liked Reggie her only bestfriend.
Despite its cons, I enjoyed reading 'The Killers Instinct'. I wouldn't spend my money on it however. There are some bizarre, 15+
Rated scenes in this book though that are pretty extreme, or maybe just for me.
Overall if you are interesting in murders/murderers/psychopathics/figuring out how killers think, then this is a good book for you to read.
