The plot revolves around a teenage boy who struggles with himself. He's a sociopath who doesn't want to be the monster that aches to burst out. He's faced with a dilemma when he witnesses a serial killer kill innocent people one after the other and must find a way to stop him before more people die. John Cleaver, the main character, wrestles within himself in order to find himself. This is a page turner and hard to put down.
This book kind of reminds me of the tv show Dexter and, if I'm correct, I believe the tv show is based off books?
They both relate in that the protagonists have the overwhelming urge to kill but look for other ways to satisfy that hunger where innocent lives aren't taken.
Also, I believe there is a series based off Dan Wells' I Am Not A Serial Killer. They're called the John Cleaver Books. I've only read this one so far but plan to read the others.
I was pleasantly surprised that this novel had such little profanity. I could count on one hand the amount of light profanity that was used. Mostly, the author used 'dangit' and 'for goodness sake' instead of the other. So, for those who don't care for profanity this one is great. However, there are a few that weren't substituted for slang, but no f words or the s word.
This is a fictional plot. It didn't really happen.
