This book was very interesting from a psychological standpoint. It follows the story of a fifteen year old boy who realizes that he has an unnatural obsession with death and serial killers, along with many emotional and physical signs of becoming a serial killer himself. He seems predisposed to become something evil. However, he knows that it is wrong, and makes the conscious choice to not let himself go down that path. He sets a series a rigid rules for himself, to keep his mind from engaging in dangerous behaviors that could lead to unleashing "the monster," as he calls it.
When a serial killer begins to murder people in his own hometown, he must battle the morbid curiosity he has about this person and the murders, while trying to protect the people he loves, and keeping "the monster" at bay. It may prove to be too much for him to handle....The story is pretty interesting, and a quick read. The author is actually from Orem, Utah, and this is his first book--kind of fun.
I would rate this a PG, due to some graphic descriptions about the embalming process (his mother is a mortician) and descriptions of the murdered bodies. Other than that, no bad language and no sex.
