Diary of a Serial Killer #1
Diary of a Serial Killer
He looks like the boy next door. He could be the young man dating your daughter or sister. He could be the boy who cuts your lawn. He considers himself an artist, creating twisted art using human canvases. Leaving a trail of once beautiful, but now shattered female bodies in his wake, he always stays one step ahead of the police. He is highly organized. He is highly motivated. He has been operating with impunity for years. He does not believe he can be caught. And the body count is rising...

2.5/5 Stars
I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. I thought the idea was great and the ending definitely captured me, but some points in the story made it hard to keep reading. A lot of it was repetitive, the killer’s thoughts especially to the point where I felt as if he went from being a well-rounded character to a flat one. The book was definitely a lot longer than it needed to be. If a lot of the sections that repeated information was cut out, the story would definitely flow better and would probably work a lot better if it were to be written in a concise manner.
As it stands, I’m giving this book 2.5 stars because it did have some interesting insight into the mind of a serial killer as well as that of a victim/survivor of violent crime.

~I received a copy for an honest review~
Where to even start! Fast paced page turner! Dark! There are times, you are thinking what the hell! The way the author writes this book, gives you a feel as if you are in the mind of the main character...creepy! This is an absolute amazing thriller that will keep you glued from start to end and keeps you guessing!

Great Story
Shawn William Davis had me from the first chapter. He defined his characters well, the plot moved quickly. I read this book in one night.

My psychopathic alter-ego wrote this book and I found it suspenseful and terrifying, so if you like thrills and chills, this is the book for you

Not a good read at all. Repetitive drivel. Clumsy one dimensional characters. I must have masochistic tendencies to force myself to finish it.

Good read
I liked the book and the story line. I gave 4 stars because
I didn't believe that cops could be overtaken so easily by the killer.
