Overall Opinion
I enjoyed I Hunt Killers more than I thought I would! I have always loved mysteries such as Nancy Drew, so I figured I would like this book and I ended up liking it much more than expected. The whole story was unique and much different than any other murder mystery books I have read. A father trying to groom his child to become a serial killer just like he was? That was very new! It made the whole story much more interesting. I really likes Jazz as a character. His struggle with not wanting to become like his father, inner conflicts and desires, and determination kept him lively and intriguing. I loved how he was able to turn his horrible past with his father into a useful tool to help him hunt the killers and help out Lobos Nod. Also, being able to hear Billy's thoughts in Jazz's head gave a whole new insight to Jazz's mind and helped us connect with him even more. There were many times that I could not put the book down, I was scared and excited to see what was going to happen next. I loved how the story was thrilling and scary with the murders, but had some light and funny points throughout. Howie (Jazz's friend) helped keep the book from being too creepy and scary. His helplessness showed a soft side to Jazz. Howie's humor and lightness helped break up the darkness of the murders and creepy thoughts throughout the book. Overall, the book was thrilling and kept me on my toes, yet had some laughs throughout. Loving mysteries definitely helped me enjoy this book, but I think anyone could really get into Barry Lyga's book I Hunt Killers!
