I've been meaning to pick up this series forever and I'm so glad I finally did, because WOW, what a ride? The storyline is gripping, the characters are complex, the setting is fantastic — a small town that mass-produces serial killers and nobody knows why; what a chilling concept, honestly — and I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who was responsible for what crimes, who could be trusted and who couldn't... Plus, there's a lot of gore that gets pretty creative at times. I don't know how Williamson came up with the ideas for each of these royally disturbed serial killers, but they're certainly fascinating to read.
