I am having a hard time deciding if I would recommend reading "Career Day" before or after I Hunt Killers; no matter what, though, I would recommend reading it. Chronologically speaking, it comes first. However, I think knowing the characters before seeing this glimpse of them could greatly add to the appreciation. (I read I Hunt Killers first.)

"Career Day"
I read Career Day after having already read I Hunt Killers and I feel like that may have been in error. I felt very little was added to the series/first book through the short, although it could cause people who haven't read the book to read it. You do get answers about how Jasper first gets with Connie and details about his relationship with Howie, but really there is nothing overly compelling. Overall it just did not add much to the the story, I felt the few new pieces of...more

I actually enjoyed this short story quite a bit. I do wonder if it could've been added to the preface of the book "I Hunt Killers", but I think it's better that you know the characters first. A few surprises are in here: Howie's a lot more charming and funny this time, you read about how Jazz got his nickname and how he started going out with Connie. All very interesting.

Just to be sure, I only read the prequel. Wow. Never read anything like this before and I'm serious. A thriller/horror/psychopathic. If I read any further I might can't sleep. EVER. Can't wait to read the book.
I only read the prequel short story, "Career Day". I thought it was very well written. It caught my attention and I am looking forward to reading "I Hunt Killers".
I couldn't stop reading this book! And then after I was done with it I was completely obsessed with Criminal Minds
I loved this peek into Jazz's life. I really just want to hug him.
Definitely adored Howie hardcore in the Career Day short!

Brilliant!
I'm certainly intrigued, although I'm not rushing out to procure my copy just yet after the short story.
Can't wait to read the whole thing! So far pretty darn good!
Added to read short story "Career Day".
