A blast from the past - I’m going to start posting the reviews of ebooks I’ve read since joining Goodreads. You can check out the review site here: http://www.goodreads.com/
IM
My review:
Wow! IM is the first novel I’ve read by Rick R Reed - but it certainly won’t be the last. Reed takes a modern-day twist of the gay serial killer that is at once unique and intriging; the killer meets all his victims online. Unlike typical serial killer novels, where bodies stack up will police search clues to find the person responsible, IM displays a strong backstory of the killer’s life that is served up to the reader in doses throughout the novel. Just when I thought I’d figured out the reason driving Timothy’s terror on the city, Reed tosses in a different twist. I thoroughly enjoyed the POV changes throughout the novel, a fine balance that allows the reader a chance to experience what each of the characters are feeling. Odd to say that IM is a love-story, too, however, the emerging bond between the ex-cop, Ed and his boyfriend, Peter, is real…I was sorry to see the novel end for this reason and hope that perhaps, Reed will return later with their continuing story! If you’ve never read a Rick R Reed Novel, I’d strongly suggest you begin with IM!
