Butterfly Skin - Sergey Kuznetsov

One of the countless Library Sale shelves books that have crossed my TBR pile, this one was ... something else. A cover quote warns "the fainthearted had best stay away" and I can confirm that this is indeed the case. To be honest I found this book somewhat confusing; it slips between points of view as it describes the "romance" of sorts between a serial killer and a reporter who is trying to capitalize on his reign of terror. It can be very detailed in its descriptions of the crimes that take place, and of the proclivities of the reporter. All in all I guess this was worth the 50 cents I spent on it; not sure it would have been worth much more.
