Waiting On Wednesday (5): I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, in which bloggers talk about the books they are most eager for!

This week's pick: I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga
Publisher: Little, Brown Books
Release Date: April 3rd, 2012

What if the world's worst serial killer...was your dad?

Jasper (Jazz) Dent is a likable teenager. A charmer, one might say.
But he's also the son of the world's most infamous serial killer, and for Dear Old Dad, Take Your Son to Work Day was year-round. Jazz has witnessed crime scenes the way cops wish they could--from the criminal's point of view.

And now bodies are piling up in Lobo's Nod.

In an effort to clear his name, Jazz joins the police in a hunt for a new serial killer. But Jazz has a secret--could he be more like his father than anyone knows?

Doesn't that description just sound so intriguing? As soon as I heard about it, I knew I had to read it. It looks to be a combination of thriller and heart, and I'm sure I'm going to love Jazz! Recently, I've been hearing a lot of praise from authors and bloggers about I Hunt Killers which is making me anticipate it more and more! It happens to be released on one of my most anticipated release days of the year: April 3rd (some other releases that day include Holly Black's Black Heart, and Fear by Michael Grant). I'm definitely going to pick up a copy the day it comes out! Hopefully it's as great as it looks to be!

What do you think? What are your picks this week?

  1. Definitely intriguing! I've only first heard about this book recently, but I need to read it. Not only does it have a male POV, but also uses psychology as a main device. What else would I want from a book? Great pick!
