WOW what a great book! I wasn't sure how I would handle the content of the book because of my own past but I think he wrote a book that respected those who were abused. It's a thriller for sure and it makes you think about how everyone reacts to trauma in their lives and is the way they react "wrong"? Of course it was wrong, BUT..there is that BUT. If you want to get all scientific you can get into the brain and the damage caused by trauma and PTSD. The person Kenny became is understandable. The hurt and pain shaped the person he became. But not everyone who has trauma reacts this way. What a very sad life for this character. You hate the man he is but love the little boy whose life was turned upside down in such a hideous way. This is an amazing book and I loved it! #BoyInterrupted #NetGalley

The devastation, hurt and rage you feel from reading this book is like nothing I have ever felt from reading a book. The upbringing of Kenny is nothing glamorous or loving. If anything it is complete torture. Through all the molestations and abuse, Kenny grows up to hurt the ones that have hurt him. The author will take you on a road of emotions that you have never been down before.

I was given the opportunity by #netgalley to review an #ebook copy of this book. I did not complete this book #beforepubdate but i did read to chapter 12 and just couldnt find myself keeping interest. It became a hassle to me to pick up this book. I ended up dnf'ing this book at chapter 12.

The synopsis sounded really good. And was hit with a horrific crime straight away. But I found it to be very slow and unfortunately ended up giving up

I couldn’t get past 20% of this book. The harsh language was a bit unnecessary and turned off from reading more.

This book was a hard read because of its subject matter - a boy who was abused throughout his childhood - and the graphic descriptions of the murders. It was meant to be a tough read though it breaks my heart to know that children are treated like that. Recommended but with a warning based on the subject matter.

This novel portrays the tortured early childhood and psychotic break of Kenny Hanson, a motherless boy raised by a pedophiliac father. Follow the dedicated team of investigators as they race to find the perpetrator and the motive behind a shocking series of grisly murders across the state of Indiana.
Be intrigued with the psyche of a rampaging serial killer. The drama outlines the parental abuse that created a monster out of an innocent child abused to the point of insanity.

This book grips you from the very beginning and never lets go. Riveting, end of your seat detective novel. This book does have some very sensitive matter but the author does a good job of softening the blow for us.

Muncie, Indiana is the background to murders, sexual abuse and plenty of violence - but the author does a great job with all of this!

Fabulous twist at the end, and my only gripe is that, except for the boy, all the other characters could have been more developed?

Thanks to Net Galley for a chance to read and review.

Kenny was four years old when his father, a medical doctor started raping him. After that the father would invite other friends to come and have their way with his child.
Susan is a detective with a case she is deeply invested in. Several doctors have turned up murdered in the surrounding area. Not only dead but tortured, flayed, cut up. It's enough to make the investigators throw up. Who is doing the murders is what they need to find out and fast. The killing is escalating. Susan doesn't know that she will be an integral part of the killers psychotic spree. And it won't be as a detective.
A thriller written in a raw and detailed manner that is bound to set your stomach churning and your heart racing!
