John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. Obsessed with serial killers, he never wants to be one. Yet terrible impulses constantly tempt him.Having grown up helping his mom at the family mortuary, dead bodies are no big deal to John. He likes them, actually. They don’t ask for the empathy he’s unable to offer. Perhaps that’s what gives him the clarity to recognize that something is frighteningly different about the freshest body on the slab. For the first time, John must confront a danger outside his own mind, a threat he cannot control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could.Dan Wells’s debut will keep you awake and then haunt your dreams.

"Whole series was very entertaining, ended abruptly though (the last book)"

"All the books in the series are awesome. Look out for the second one though. It was brutal. "

Rainy Day Books

"I like supernatural horrors, but going in blind, just off the summary on the back didn't tell me it was one. I thought it would be a psychological thriller with a true crime feel to it. This was not that book at all. It caught the essense of an edgy teenage boy well, but I can't really even give it that because it takes its tone way too seriously for that to have been more than an accident. I found this book to be really corny and hard to read sometimes from second-hand embarrasment. The opening was strong but it really just wasn't for me."

"Don’t get me wrong, this was a good book. Intense. Scary. Enticing. But I’m definitely more of a “happy rainbow clouds of dreams” reader than this. Definitely out of my comfort zone, but definitely still a good read."

Shannon

"Held my attention. Fast paced. Very unexpected plot twist. "

Hannah Holmes

"Talk about a page turner! You’ll be on the edge of your seat when you read this book. The characters are relatable and Dan does a great job of keeping you guessing! "
