Thanks to Enticing Journey Book Promotions and the author for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

HOLY COW - this book was intense! I'll start by saying that this book does get extremely graphic and gorey when it comes to the serial killer - The Skull Keeper (TSK), so be prepared if you plan to pick this one up.

THE SKULL KEEPER was extremely fast-paced with short chapters and witty female leads. The alternating POVs, nods to bookstagram, and an unhinged friendship really kept this book feeling fresh. TSK was a truly terrifying character and was made even more horrifying by the reveal at the end.

Whitcomb used a ton of character names from the show Brooklyn Nine-Nine and it made me sooo happy whenever a new name drop happened, so bonus points for that alone!

If you're looking for a darkly humorous and complex serial killer book, then I recommend picking this one up!
