I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga

When your father is a notorious serial killer and you have been raised to follow in his footsteps, trained to consider everyone as potential prey, what do you do with your life? 

For Jazz it is a constant battle to remind himself that People Do Matter. This is a mantra he repeats consistantly through the story as he fights to become something other than what his upbringing aimed for.

I was unsure when I picked this book up whether it was a young adult or adult novel but quickly decided it didn't matter. A reasonably light read, I enjoyed the characters and the point of difference in the story, horrifying as the subject matter was.

I was riveted following Jazz' journey into and out of the darkness as he seeks to bring down a cunning serial killer authorities don't believe exists. Learning and sharing his internal battles and the loyalty to the two people in his life that make all the difference to who he has become; his stubborn, caring, girlfriend and his fragile

haemophiliac best friend Howie.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of this character.
