How have I ended up reading two books in a matter of a month about a sociopath?!
I really enjoyed the main character Jaz. But holy hell, it’s awkward. I liked him more than my other sociopath read because he’s actively trying to be good – he reminds himself frequently that “people matter.” How awkward is that though? A character that has to remind himself that people matter?! And his dad, convicted serial killer, Billy… Holy shit this guy is creepy. Even if Jaz wasn’t born a sociopath I feel like Billy would have turned him into one.
I love that Jaz tried so hard to not be a bad guy… To prove to himself and everyone around that he’s good, he wants to help the local police catch a new serial killer. The mystery was good and totally caught me by surprise, though if you look back, the hints were there. That’s what makes for a great mystery IMO.
I need a sociopath break, but I do think I’ll continue the series eventually.
Oh my! Yeah, I’m not sure what I’d think about a character who has to continually remind himself that people matter. But he does sound like an interesting character. I do vote for a sociopath break for you though! LOL
Hope you’re feeling better, girlie! I got another cold! Ugh!! {{{BIG HUGS}}}
I listened to the audiobook of this one last year. I really loved it. I loved Jaz and his girlfriend and his best friend. I do have an unhealthy fascination with serial killers (cult leaders too).
I enjoyed it, but I get wigged out a but easier than most I think. Have you read more of the series? I kind of want to – I also did the audio and thought the narration was good – but I’m iffy on how much more sociopath I can take. Lol
