Review: I Am Not A Serial Killer by Dan Wells

This was a surprisingly strange story. I Am Not A Serial Killer by Dan Wells, Narrated by John Allen Nelson Audiobook   Released March 2010 Amazon  ♦  Goodreads John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. He's spent his life doing his best not to live up to his potential. He's obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn't want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he's written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation. Dead bodies are normal to John. He likes them, actually. They don't demand or expect the empathy he's unable to offer. Perhaps that's what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there's something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat---and to appreciate what that difference means. Now, for the first time, John has to confront a danger outside ...

It wasn't at all what I hoped it would be. There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins, Narrated by  Bahni Turpin Audiobook Review , 9+ Hours Released September 2017 Amazon  ♦  Goodreads Scream meets YA in this hotly-anticipated new novel from the bestselling author of Anna and the French Kiss.

As the terror grows closer and the hunt intensifies for the killer, the dark secrets among them must finally be confronted.

I was left highly disappointed with the dud of a reveal and disinterested in a...
