What one must do after one finishes a book that touches you deep down? A book that reaffirms your believe that dreaming of big things on life is the right way to go about and that it is alright to change the goal posts if that is what is required. You pick up a book that a serial killer in it! Fireside Chat with a Grammar Nazi Serial Killer by Ryan Suvaal is about seventeen gruesome killings across the United States, within a span of six months and there was one clear connection among victims. They were all book authors. While media was decorating the murders with sensationalist stories, and law enforcement was playing catch-up, the homicidal maniac remained elusive and secretive. Things got very interesting, however, when one day she decided to appear on an internet talk show for an honest fireside chat. Her reason for being on this show was not a quest for fame, but something much more disturbing. I am so looking forward to reading this but I am going to start come January 1. What about you? Have you finished your last book of 2018 or are you at it yet? #BookPhoto #Bookgram #BookgramPk #BookstagramPk #Bookstagram #KindlePhoto #KindleReads #ChristmasTime #Christmas #FestiveSeason #RyanSuvaal #MurderMystery

I liked the premise being somewhat of Grammar Nazi myself. The story was too fast paced for my liking as in things were being pushed into one another. There was one murder and then all of a sudden there had been seventeen!

If I am reading about them, I want to read of them all in the book or at least the majority of it. Why else am I reading crime fiction?

Another thing I noted was the redundancy of words in the text. Sometimes that is bearable but if an author uses the tactic excessively, it just gives vibes as to the author taking the reader for a fool; and, I am no fool.

The story is set in future and is categorized as Science Fiction. As far a s the plot goes, both ideas seem redundant. Serial killers exist in today’s time and so does the dark net.

There were grammatical errors but I am chalking them up to the fact that it was, after all, a review copy and not the final version.

For a one time read, the short story is Okay.
