Man, this was my kind of book. Retired cop SLASH serial killer reaturns to the fold of the PD to help track a new serial killer who is following his MO to get his attention - or are they?

It had the feel of 80s slashers with the intelligence and moral compass of Dexter and overall a fast paced and enjoyable read. Were there some expected tropes? Hell yes - but I love me them tropes.

Horror and serial killer readers - don't sleep on this one!

After re-downloading a few days later as NetGalley suggested I was finally able to read this book, and I’m so glad I did!
This book was amazing!! As the description says if you like Dexter you will love this. The system is broken and the cops take it into their own hands.

Top notch detective mystery, vibes of Dexter intertwine with a solid, and truly gruesome, vigilante serial killer at large. So, they are somewhat copycatting the vigilante crimes of the original investigator (albeit with ramped up gore) who is currently consulting, while keeping cool? Not so easy! And who can really want to catch someone killing criminals with crimes even worse, but went unpunished. A great team, a complex mystery, and maybe they will return?

I was hooked from the beginning!!
It was amazing and engaging.
