Explanation:
I Hunt Killers is a chilling novel that not only focuses on great character development but a different perspective that is never really portrayed in real life or fiction. The perspective of the killer. I enjoyed how it wasn't very gory or bloody, but it mainly stayed on the subject of the psychological means of being a successful serial killer. Everything from the motives to the selection and just the overall process of a "hunt" as it's called in the book. It's a very unique concept that is executed great in this novel and that is why I give it 4 stars out of 5
