About this listen

I killed a demon. I don't know if it was really technically a demon, but I do know that it was some kind of monster, with fangs and claws and the whole bit, and he killed a lot of people. So I killed him. I think it was the right thing to do. At least the killing stopped.

Well, it stopped for a while.

In I Am Not a Serial Killer, John Wayne Cleaver saved his town from a murderer even more appalling than the serial killers he obsessively studies, using his own repressed homicidal proclivities to even the odds.

But it turns out even demons have friends, and the disappearance of one has brought another to Clayton County. Soon there are new victims for John to work on at the mortuary, and a new mystery to solve. But this time something's different. John has tasted death, and the dark nature he used as a weapon - the terrifying persona he calls "Mr. Monster" - might now be using him.

No one in Clayton is safe unless John can vanquish two nightmarish adversaries: the unknown demon he must hunt, and the inner demon he can never escape.

The first book "I am not a serial killer" was good, but in this book "Mr. Monster" both the writing intensifies and perfects, and John Wayne Cleaver the character comes into his own, and we start to get a handle on him, and possibly (gasp) actually begin to LIKE him. He's a guy, a dude, a teenager pretty much like any other kid, except that today he would probably be labeled as "on the spectrum" (and this is the best depiction in fiction I've ever come across of ASD, bar none). But aside from John, everything else is wonderfully creepy and downright scary, as we are allowed to visit a place much scarier than any gruesome imagining of Dracula's lair. The basement and the pit will give you nightmares, all the while you get to learn all about love and what it actually is! Not a bad deal. I haven't read the third book yet but have it in my library, and figure John will grow and develop even as Dan Well's genius creative expression expands, so I'm hooked, this is good stuff Maynard, good stuff.

I absolutely love this series, and Kirby does an amazing job bringing it to life. There’s something special about this book though. The complexity of emotions is something I have never been able to find in another book. Highly, highly recommended!

This series is SO GOOD! And Kirby is one of the BEST narrators ever! I have NEVER heard a narrator put as much emotion and energy into a book as Kirby does. He really brings the book to life.

Dan Wells is a genius and I can't wait to see what John Wayne Cleaver does next!

Whoa!!!!

Great sequel to. I am not a serial killer looking forward to the rest of the series.

This just keeps getting better and better

Trigger warning, he kills a cat. They only go into light detail, but personally I still hate that sort if stuff with a passion. The only pass they get with it is that there was a purpose to it. It was showing his state of mind. If it is something you cant stand, i just recommend skipping that part. I will edit my review with the exact time frame to skip. The only reason i kept listening is because it really is good otherwise.

Look, great story. Really good series. But...

I enjoyed this story very much. The characters are very interesting and feel real.

John Clever is one messed up dude, but Dan Wells has a great way of showing how John deals with his internal monster.

A slight set back would be the loud yelling in the narration. It got on my nerves a little. Even then, I thought Kirby Heyborne did a great job.

A great sequal to the first book!

Loved this one such a fun read and Kirby always hits it home with his narration

Another great one

Almost a Dark Knight, in scale of sequels. It expands on John in a way most stories would shy away from. With a perfect antagonist that challenges the hero perfectly. 10 outta 10 for this well done

A Perfect Sequel
