It Takes a Killer . . .
Foster is not Jasper’s father. He’s the assassin who killed his family. Jasper was eight years old when he was kidnapped and raised by a killer. Not only raised . . . trained.
To Raise a Killer . . .
Jasper has now been a trained assassin for decades. Not only does he kill for a living, he has continued in Foster’s footsteps – raising a ‘family' of his own. Lost souls of the departed. Children who should be dead. Saved by Jasper.
To Raise a Killer . . .
Now, Jasper must contend with the imminent return of his most accomplished protégé, Gulliver. He decides to tell him everything - his life, how he came to be the man he is now, and what has happened to the family since he left. Only, there is someone else out there determined to stop Jasper and find the lost and missing. And they'll stop at nothing to bring an end to what Jasper has built.
Cormac McCarthy meets North-East England in this unforgettable novel, with a fresh and exciting voice from a debut author.
I loved this book, the way it was written was just brilliant. It was written with Jasper writing letters to Gulliver. This was brilliant as Jasper was sharing his story of how he came to be with Foster all those years ago, what has happened since Gulliver disappeared and the present time.
It is not written in a confusing way however and flows very nicely. As we were reading I was thinking - I have no clue how this book is going to end and even as I was getting closer to the end I had no clue what was going to happen.
I loved how the storyline just built up piece by piece and thought it was just so clever how it was constructed in such a way that you went through emotions with the characters and there were some scenes that were rather gruesome to read but it just made it even better to fully understand our main character Jasper. Who despite being able to do awful things, also has empathy and cared for the children.
I did not expect the ending and thought that it was just brilliant. It has however left me with a couple of things that I want answers to / to see what happens - so could there be another book? I hope so! If you want to grab a copy then you can do so here #Aff
