Book #1: The Serial Killers Club

Title: The Serial Killers Club, a novel
Author: Jeff Povey
Publication Year: 2006
Synopsis: The main character runs into a serial killer out to kill him, and ends up killing the serial killer instead. In the killer's wallet, he finds a personals ad made out to the serial killer. He responds, and ends up as a member of The Serial Killers Club. The Serial Killers Club is made up of serial killers nation-wide, who get together to disuss their kills and make sure that they aren't going to kill the same people. Oh, and no real names, only psuedonyms of famous celebrities. After Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. joins the club, serial killers mysteriously just stop showing up, and Dougie also has to contend with an FBI agent who wants him to help him, in exchange for his freedom.

This book was fantastic and original. It's a fast read with a fast paced plot. I had a hard time putting it down. I got to the last chapter and had to put it down for a night, and I just couldn't wait to finish up that last little bit. It captivated me from start to finish. Plenty of adventure and death without being horrifying, as some books can be. You'll guess several times who the Kentucky Killer is, but I can guarantee you you'll be as wrong I as was three times. "It's gotta be so-and-so" I told myself, only to have that hope dashed as the author weaves in enough information to keep you informed and yet trick you at the same time.
The most interesting plot point, to me, was the fact that the serial killers all named themselves after famous actors and actresses. From Cher to Richard Burton to, yes, even Chuck Norris. No one can have the same name or even use one of a past club member. You have to sit and ask yourself, if you were a member of the Serial Killers Club, what would your name be?

I ask you, What would your Serial Killers Club name be?
(mine would be Jamie Lee Curtis, because she's kicked some serious ass, and wouldn't you need to do so as a serial killer?)
