I Am The Night: 1 (The Ackerman Thrillers) Paperback – Large Print, 1 Oct. 2020

Current status: It’s 2am and my bedroom is lit up like Blackpool Illuminations!Seriously! Why do I keep doing this to myself? I’m really starting to question my sanity...Oi, that’s enough from the gallery – thank you!I’ll admit that I have a fascination with twisted characters and, let’s face it, they don’t come more sick and twisted than Francis Ackerman Jr. He is the bogey man brought to life! Yet, I was obsessed with finding out what made him tick.*shrugs* Issues? Yeah, I know.What can I say about I Am The Night? It was a fast paced, heart-stopping read which was fraught with tension and suspense. Oh, and did I mention a tad gruesome? *winces*Plus, you all know how I love a good conspiracy theory. Come on, I can’t be the only that’s mused about the possibility of something that’s happened reaching the higher echelons of power?I’ve done it again! I apologise for all the ???, lol.That ending though – jaw-dropping...I’m a newbie to Ethan Cross’ books but can safely say he has cemented a place in my auto-buy list.

Some of the writing lacks depth which is a shame. Whilst the storyline is gripping and takes the reader on a variety of turns, building a picture in your mind’s eye of the scene being painted can be a struggle, characters aren’t as fleshed out as they could be in terms of description. That being said, it IS gripping and I will be reading the rest of the series.

This book was intriguing from the start. I love the way the author allows you to identify with both the victims and the criminal - he has great insights into the psychopathic mind. I am definitely going to read the entire series

I read a lot of crime thrillers and after a while character's can blur into one but not with this novel. The main antagonist is unlike anything I have read before. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series to see how the story and characters progress.

First part had all the makings of an excellent thriller but it seems the author ran out of steam half way through and resorted to cliched description and predictable "twists". An easy read but I won't be rushing to continue the series.

What a mind blowing read. Things are not what they seem. Marcus is in for a very bumpy ride. Only time will tell who will be the victor. Will it be good over evil?

I enjoyed reading this book, although, I found some parts towards the end a little bit far fetched. I’m about to read book 2 😀

This is a brilliant read.Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable.Great suspense and found myself second guessing every thought I had continuously.Can't wait to read what the author brings out next.Recommend reading.

The plot is so contrived that it annoyed me, and i usually don't mind improbable twists (e.g. Philip Mercer thumbs up!). The two main characters seem like genre clichés. For me my last Ethan Cross novel.
