Book thoughts
I Hunt Killers is one of the most unique books I have ever read. The way the story is told from Jazz's point of view offers a different insight on murder case mysteries. Jazz's backstory is scarred and full of horrific stories because he is the son of the famous serial killer Billy Dent. Because of his father, Jazz is constantly struggling to have a sane mental state. Despite these problems I was very surprised to see how Jazz deals with his past and continues to live as normal a life possible. Jazz is continuing to bring up his serial killer knowledge to help the police and it will be interesting to see how this different view on the killings will help them stop the Impressionist.

I agree with Brendan, it is one of the most unique books I have ever read. Whenever Jazz is thinking and his father comes into his head with thoughts, gives the readers a different perspective. This shows how much impact his father has had on his life. I loved this book because of the mystery that each chapter had that made the reader want to read more. Reading this book I felt like I was apart of helping the case be solved.
I agree with Brendan as well; instead of being told by the usual 'cops side', its point of view is more in between and gives you a taste of both good and evil. And as for Jazz's past; he seems like he learned to live with most of it, except the dissapearence of his mother. Jazz tries to live a normal life, but has a hard time, becuase of people like Doug Weathers and Melissa Hoover,who are constantly pressuring Jazz into something he doesn't like. The book is twisted and unique because it makes the reader think about what happened and what might happen next.
