MY REVIEW

Publication Day: 25 June 2018
Publisher: Brent Jones
ISBN: B07CBRX77Q (Kindle book)
Pages: 116
Category:  Fiction, Suspense Thriller, Serial Killer, Series

Being plain on the outside was a good aesthetic for a woman planning to commit homicide. It was a style that I liked to call thrift-shop fabulous. It made me a bit of an odd duck, sure, but it kept the human race at a distance, which is just how I liked it.

Afton Morrison’s alter ego, “Animus”, describes her as “a female psychopathic vegetarian librarian with a pet goldfish”.  Afton sees herself as doing good by killing evil, but she hasn’t killed yet, she has only dreamed it.

She is stalking a local man who was accused of sexually assaulting women in her town, but no charges were filed.  She is going to make him pay, but she has a stalker herself, “The Man in the Shadows”, a person from “the incident” in her past.

I picked up this book because of the female librarian serial killer perspective, but I found Afton’s snarky quips extremely engaging and couldn’t wait to see how she pulled off the murder.  The suspense is enthralling not only for what Afton is planning but what is happening to her against her will.  The only “bad” thing I can say is that the first book in the series is way too short at 116 pages.  Yet another series that I plan to continue.  Highly recommend.
