loved the Alpha book. was refreshing to read a crime novel from the killers pov rather than the police or victim. the raw honesty about mental health issues, the media, what we've all become as social media bots is brutal but we're all thinking it. I'm looking forward to the next 2 in the series!!

ALPHA : VULTURE is a very different kind of crime novel. Told from the killer's perspective, whose name we don't discover until the end of the book, this is a brutal tale about a serial killer, unlike anything I've read before.
For a relatively short book it defnitely packs one hell of a punch! I read it in one sitting and it blew me away.
Our killer had a troubled and violent childhood (don't they all?) but instead of making him aggresive, it gave him a different view of the world around him. He's not concerned with what's right or wrong and he's certainly not worried if you, the reader, agree with him or not - he's already killed 13 people and he's planning on killing 13 more!
Despite the fact that he has a plan, as is the way with life, things don't always turn out as expected. Add in the fact that he's also dealing with his own mental health and you've got a very unique protagonist on your hands. He wants to have a purpose for living, to be happy both inside and out, but being true to himself is hard and he's continually searching for what he wants from his life.
This is a very clever book that is sprinkled with humour and derisive observations about the world we live in today, as well as the dark insights into the mind of someone with a mental illness. It's very graphic in parts and that's what makes this scary, after all life isn't all butterflies and rainbows for everyone is it?
If you're looking for a crime novel that's a little different, I would thoroughly recommend ALPHA : VULTURE. It's a three part series and I'm waiting with bated breath for books two and three!

Wow. This makes your heart stop more than once.
Not at all for the faint hearted, so if your not keen on VERY strong language or graphic violence, this isn't for you.
If you are looking to try and get inside the mind of a serial killer and/or like experimental styles of writing then this is absolutely the read for you. Its daring, its hard hitting, it makes you gasp.
Explosive.
