Book Review
Truthfully, at first I was not all that interested to begin reading this book, however much to my surprise once I read the first few chapters I was instantly hooked and had difficulty putting the book down! I am generally a fan of romance novels, but the mysteriousness of I Hunt Killers was a nice change of pace and has encouraged me to try and read books from other genres. This novel had a lot of unexpected events that kept me on my toes until the end. I was truly intrigued with every aspect of this book such as the plot itself, the characters, specifically Jazz, and the author's writing style. Reading this novel was very similar to watching an episode of CSI or Law and Order, providing the reader with a few hints and details that kept you guessing as to who the new killer in town truly was. I would highly recommend this book to my peers and am anxious to read more works by this author as well as other crime scene books such as this one.

I completely agree with this. I'm usually not a very big fan of reading but this book felt just like an episode of Law and Order SVU, which is my favorite show of all time. I was very drawn to this book; the author's style of providing minimal clues and surprising twists kept me wanted to read more. This book wasn't boring and didn't drag on which makes it more enjoyable to the readers. I'd definitely recommend.
I agree with this post as well. I love romantic novels, but not so much murder mysteries. I Hunt Killers changed my opinion. I loved the storyline, and the characters like Jazz, and Howie. The author always had me at the edge of my seat. The book was full of twists, and turns which made me want to read more. I finished this book in one day! I will definitely read the sequel, and more books like this in the future.
I agree! This is a book that right off the bat grabbed my attention by just reading the information about it on our summer reading list. I am a big fan of mysteries such as And Then There Were None, so I Hunt Killers was a perfect book for me. It kept my interest most of the time and I too had trouble putting it down! I'm glad I chose this book and I will for sure recommend this to anyone I know.
I completely agree with this post. At first I didn't think the boo was going to be very good because I usually do not enjoy my summer reading books. But as I continued through the story it became more and more interesting. This novel reminded me a lot of the only other summer reading book I enjoyed, And Then There Were None, also a mystery.
