Thank you to Netgalley and Aria for providing me with an e-arc of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Francis Ackerman Jr. is one of the most compelling serial killers I've read in a long while. Though he is a merciless killer who enjoys inflicting drawn-out suffering to his victims, his level of moral consciousness adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to his character. Unlike other serial killers who are defined by their grizzly acts of violence, Ackerman's self-awareness that makes him more than just a crazed murderer.

In "I Am The Night," Ackerman and ex-detective Marcus Williams become mixed up in a conspiracy involving the highest order of US government. Both characters are drawn into a world of bloodshed and violence that forces them to question the qualities that connect them and make both killer and cop more similar than dissimilar. 

This was truly a chaotic book that was easily unpredictable due to its twists and turns and so frightening that the fear Ackerman's victims experienced became my own. I highly recommend this novel to those who love suspenseful crime and captivating serial killers who are absolutely terrifying in their deliverance of death.

I've read several Ethan Cross books and find them easy to read and very fast paced. This one is no exception. I really enjoyed it and didn't want it to end. I highly recommend this book.

What a fascinating and chilling premise!  Nearly non-stop action, and enough twists and turns to guarantee a wild ride.  Loved it, and highly recommend.

*My thanks to the author and publisher (via NetGalley) for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.  It's greatly appreciated!*

I chose this as have already read the Francis Ackerman books and was excited to see another one in the series. It soon became clear after a few chapters that this is a re-release of the first in the series under a separate title. That said, this is an excellent book with a fearsome serial killer on the loose and the shady organisation challenged to hunt him. Great twist at the end which I never saw coming, highly recommend.

I really wanted to love this book but unfortunately the proof copy I read had major flaws in that and word with "fl" or "th" was missing those letters. Such a shame and although I persevered I was unable to carry on.

A really creepy thriller with two psychopaths characters. This story takes crazy turn after turn but it’s great x
