Necessary Evil

This is a great book, I also read it in one sitting, everytime I would start to put it down, I ended up taking it with me...shocking ending, hope there is a second book. The author could do wonders with this story!

Best Book Ever!!

This was a book I couldn't put down, I read it in one day. The main character Billy is an oddly mystifying man. He's got so many different characteristics he goes from being an average single working man to a sex crazed killer/stalker. This is one book everyone should read, definately could keep anyone intrested!!

Set aside an afternoon and read this book!!!!

The most horrific thing a child could experience has happened. There, right before his eyes, the most important person in his life is humiliated, beaten, and then killed. Adding insult to injury, the killers are set free and rewarded with a court settlement of his inheritance! If you ever wondered what serial killers are made of, you've found the perfect recipe. Billy never stood a chance with his alcoholic mother and abusive stepfather. Travel with Billy as he follows his misguided conscience and attempts to avenge all the wrongs in the world. You'll feel his pain and that of his victims!!!
