My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author and always get excited when a new book comes out, dropping everything so I can read it. Psychopaths Anonymous is Will Carver at his best! Another dark, twisted read with lots of dark humour thrown in.
One of the things I most like about this author is that they write about subjects no one else would do from an unexpected angle – I mean a group about psychopaths is just brilliant! It makes the book more fun and interesting to read about as it provides a new area to explore.
Maeve was a fantastic main character, possibly the most disturbing the author has written and she definitely kept me gripped to the book as I had to keep reading to find out what she would do next. The book is written in the first person, with the reader privy to all her inner most thoughts and feelings which were pretty hair raising at times. Her victims are all of pretty unlikeable people and I wasn’t sad to see them meet a grizzly end most of the time which made me like Maeve a little bit despite myself.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to see what the author writes next. It was very gripping with lots of dark humour which along with a hint of a romance between Maeve and another member of the group helps stop it getting too dark in places. If are a fan of dark crime fiction I highly recommend this author.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Orenda for my copy of this book.
