Crocodile Black by Phillip Kennedy Johnson
4.0

A boy who goes off his meds starts to murder people by hearing the voice of a old hitman/contract killer.

This is def a tripper book than I expected but I also really enjoyed the flow of this. It's very fast paced, the downward spiral goes very quick for our young protagonist as once he's off his medicine he begins to work for the cartel and do some awful stuff. We slowly get his background through flashbacks that work as a reason why he's this way. Overall I really enjoyed this one for the most part. I felt the spiral into murdering was a bit quick, but overall I enjoyed my time reading this and some great vicious kill scenes. A 4 out of 5.
