A serial killer out to seek justice for children who were abused by priests with the FBI in hot pursuit. Seems to be an edge of the seat murder mystery. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the great review. I am eager to read this book and even though I don't need to read the first book I will be reading it first. Downloaded both books!

I appreciated your honest review and it does sound like a pretty compelling novel from your point of view.
I haven't read a thriller in awhile - this one looks like it has a gripping interest.

I am very interested in this book after reading this review. Everything about it draws me in, from the title to the cover to the description. It will be interesting to read and see how the author portrays the mind of a serial killer. I am particularly interested in how Craig will be humanized, if at all. Considering people rarely take the time to make an effort to understand the reasons behind actions of such heavy violence, I think this book could uncover some important truths.

This book really caught my interest regarding the intelligence of the two FBI agents who were determined to get the priests that abused children

I have just added the book to my book list. Thanks for the review. I have not read the first book but your review states that I can read the sequel without much struggle. Looking forward to reading it.

It seems justified to kill priestsmolesting young boys but gore killings and the reason behind them is too grizzly for me.

Sounds like a unique book. It seems like a complete turn around when we're hearing from the murderer instead. I wouldn't mind checking it out. Thank you.

Wow, I'm loving it! I know the mind-set of a serial killer/psychopath through emotional intelligence. I can understand your dilemma in questioning his punishment. Definitely reading this book. Thank you for a descriptive review!

Thanks for your review! I love it when antagonists have real motives behind their actions. It's much more interesting than having a stereotypical villain.

Aubrey Cana Laine reviewed the novel in a beautiful way in the beginning of the review she tries to explain the mindset of a serial killer.

Further she let us know that this novel is the sequel to Gallagher's Serial K and reminds us that Serial K Returns is a freshly new story and then she writes about the serial killer, Craig Breedlove who wants revenge from a pries who had molested him when he was young, and writes about the two FBI agents named Ryan O' Callahan and Lea Pucci trying to demystify these murders.

Aubrey likes the way the author portrayed the character of serial killer, Craig Breedlove but she dislikes the way serial killer murders his victim brutally.

Aubrey writes that she likes the pace of the story and finds that the character of Craig Breedlove more interesting than the two FBI agents.

She rated this book 4 out of 4 stars.

A thriller, written logically about the reasons WHY the killer did what he did--albeit, a little twisted and skewed, as any childhood trauma can make an adult with no therapy help, but still logical! LOL

Serial K is indeed a storybook worth reading, I noticed that the book will have characters that turn the story to be intriguing to book lovers.

I’ve always been extremely intrigued with books that are able to give the reader mitigating feelings. It sounds like this one is able to tear the reader between the evident feelings of right and wrong (don’t murder people), and the feelings that the victims deserved what they were getting in the end. As an added bonus we get to know the serial killer in depth as well as how his mind worked.
