A Serial Killer Falling in Love
Thanks to Amazon for featuring ‘The Love Killings’ this month and lowering the price until August 1.
I know this novel is sometimes called ‘Silence of the Lambs’ meets the movie ‘True Romance.’ But at its heart, ‘The Love Killings’ is all about family and an entire cast of characters exploring their pasts. That the characters are so outrageous is what tips the scale. Here’s a short excerpt as Andrew Penchant, a natural born killer in his early twenties, looks at Avery Cooper, a girl he picked up at the mall, lying on his bed at his mother’s house.
“He could see the sweat collecting on her forehead and above her full lips. He didn’t want to move. He didn’t want to leave her alone in the room. He was in love with her, he realized. He was in love with her being, her body, the idea of her, the fact of her, the sound of her voice. But it was more than that. Way more. He loved everything about her. The things she was touching. The things she was looking at.”
