A support group for serial killers? In this era of self realization, this may not be as far fetched as one might think. In this book, a group of serial killers meet regularly in secret places to talk about their crimes, their drives to commit them and how they plan to control their desires. Problem is, one member of the group is not what he claims to be and this leads to complications.
The author definitely has a vivid imagination when it comes to descriptions of murders. Some of them are particularly gruesome. Each individual killer has his or her own special method of selecting victims and then killing them. As unlikely as a self-help group for this crew might be, it does allow the author to explore the nuances of those with "unusual" desires.
If there is any weak spot in this book, in my opinion it was the ending. I felt that it was a bit too rushed and abrupt - that there was more to tell. Perhaps there will be a sequel. If so, then the ending might make more sense. Nonetheless, this is a good read.

A very cool premise - A support group for serial killers.

It was very riveting but maybe needed a little more editorial work. Otherwise it is an interesting look into the serial killer mind as it follows 7 different serial killers who are part of a support group as they try to suppress the urge to kill. This doesn't exactly go plan for all those involved. A good read for those who like serial killer novels.

I received this book from a LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review. ( )

When you are convinced that your sister was killed by a serial killer then joining a group of them who want to stop killing is the first step to find him. But how do you get an invite. Can killers truly stop.
An interesting and enjoyable story which pulled me in straight away though I would have preferred probably less killers in the group with more detail about their crimes and motives to make each individual stand out more.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ( )

Love the concept: serial killers are people too. Some of whom want to stop and who would understand them better than another serial killer? It would be a tough crowd, but the number of lives saved could really mount up. If you wanted to stop and didn't want to go to prison this might be one way they might try to heal themselves. Nice feel for the characters, interesting set up. Would be interested in a sequel. ( )

A support group for serial killers ... interesting premise. It took me a while to get into the story; some of the "sharing" in group came across as a murder textbook. The plot did get better and the ending was ... satisfying.

But the drawback is there are so many, way too many people - murderers, FBI, victims. It was very hard to keep everybody sorted out.

Three stars out of five. ( )
