Sierra's Pick

I Hunt Killers (Jasper Dent #1) by Barry Lyga

What if the world's worst serial killer...was your dad?

Jasper "Jazz" Dent is a likable teenager. A charmer, one might say.

But he's also the son of the world's most infamous serial killer, and for Dear Old Dad, Take Your Son to Work Day was year-round. Jazz has witnessed crime scenes the way cops wish they could—from the criminal's point of view.

And now bodies are piling up in Lobo's Nod.

In an effort to clear his name, Jazz joins the police in a hunt for a new serial killer. But Jazz has a secret—could he be more like his father than anyone knows?

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader.

"By the time Jazz got to the field outside town, yellow police tape was everywhere, strung from stake to stake in a sort of drunken, off-kilter hexagon."

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice.

Pg 56
"In his sleep, there was a knife.
       A knife in a sink.
       There was always a knife in a sink.
       And a voice.
       And a hand.
       A hand on the knife.
       Sometimes he thought -
       (no)
       - he thought -
       (no don't don't don't you go and)
       Easy, a voice says. So easy. It's just like cutting chicken.
       And another voice says:
       (no)
       It's okay. It's okay. I want -
       And sometimes he thinks
       (no)
       A knife."

This book first came to my attention when Ali wrote a review about it on her blog, My Guilty Obsession. With a synopsis like that, I couldn't resist!
