I Am Death

At first I thought this book is a sequel of An Evil Mind because it was advertised as a series. The timeline of this story was indeed after the event in An Evil Mind but that just ends there. Anyhow, I did enjoy the read. Like many other Robert Hunter stories, he often acted alone without backup which was kind of annoying. And I was a bit confused as to who killed who at the end.

This is the 7th book in a row I have read in this series and by far the most brutal. The ending left me slightly confused. However, I plan to continue the series because it really is just like binging a TV series!

LAPD’s Ultra Violent Crimes Unit lead detective, Robert Hunter, races to stop a serial killer whose past secrets rival those of Hunter’s himself. WOW! DOUBLE WOW! This author scares me! I have read every one of the Robert Hunter series, and it seems that each serial killer tops the last. Each is brutal, sadistic, fiendish, cold-blooded, vicious, cruel, barbarous.. but the serial killer in this book is even worse. If blood and guts, torture bother you, or the sadistic treatment of a child or woman is not your thing, then skip this book. On the other hand, if you really dig serial killers and the harm they can do, you will like this one, and you will like all the others in the series. This is a grand stand-alone, it repeats a little about Hunter and Gracia from the beginning of the series, but no spoilers for his other books. I highly recommend starting from the first and have a marathon reading event to read them all. There are surprises along the way, but none so surprising at what comes in the end. This killer likes to play games and he wants Robert and his partner, Carlos, to play with him. Only the best to take down the best. The ending will absolutely blow your mind. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars ... YES! it is THAT good! Many thanks to the author / Atria/Emily Bestler Books / Netgalley for the advance, uncorrected reader's proof. The opinion expressed is unbiased and entirely my own.
