Killer

     I picked up this book only because I've been dying to know what happens next since the T.V. show took it's season break. I didn't expect it to be so greatly written, I  was only in it for the story line. But i was wrong. During this whole book, it's kept me thinking and guessing. The best thing about it was the fact that there was absolutely never a dull moment, never  a paragraph of thick text i just wanted to skip over to get to the good part. My mind was spinning, looking for the answers to puzzles with-in the books, trying to figure things out. I felt myself become transported in, and there wasn't a way out but to finish the book (not that I wanted out). The author lays things out in the book so expertly, and it never seems like the author got lazy and just threw some obvious clue in. Each character came alive to me, and i found myself constantly telling them what to do, before realizing they couldn't hear me. I got scared, excited, nervous, happy, felt every emotion of these character's, all due to the writers craft. And as i read, i noted that no character jumped out to me as hero or villain, good or bad, right or wrong. They all had layers and feelings, like real people, because to be honest i cannot find a single REAL person who could fit into any one archetype. Whether it be shape shifter or mentor or some other, no one seems so shallow that they only can be characterized to one. In this way, the authors bring the characters to life, making you love and hate them. And when you mix all these elements together, you  end up with this amazing, deep, layered story.
