Next of Kin

De: Elton Skelter

Narrado por: Rain Corbyn

Even the worst of us need someone to come home to. And Jacob Mallory is the worst of all. Jake, a thrill-seeking psychopathic serial killer, has lived under the radar for years, operating within the city of New York, making kill after kill and emboldened by his lack of capture. But Jake has one big surprise coming his way. When he gets a call from the hospital to pick up a vulnerable patient, one who claims that Jake is his emergency contact, he feels like he's won the lottery. But is there more to Nathan McGuire than meets the eye? And will this supposedly vulnerable young man make or break the city's most notorious uncaught killer?

American Psycho meets Romeo and Juliet, and this satirical horrormance will have you rooting for the bad guy as he makes space in his heart for something more. Even if that something proves to be his undoing. Everybody needs someone to come home to, and what is life without family? The family you choose is the one you deserve.

As exhilarating as it is twisted

Next of Kin is as exhilarating as it is twisted - sexy, gay, and compulsively repulsive. Skelter's signature sharp voice and chiseled characters shine through in this inventive horroromantic cat and mouse thriller. I loved the insane premise he created, the diligence that his serial killer main character showed, and (as always) his unique blend of heart and chilling brutality. I would recommend this to thriller fans across the board, but, specifically, fans of Caroline Kepnes' Joe Goldberg series or Dexter would probably love Next of Kin!
The narrator did an amazing job bringing this story to life with brightness and emotion, and the overall production quality was high. I would recommend the audiobook!
