Jay Kerk

After Jason is committed to a mental institution, he begins to uncover things he never knew before--or things his mind shut out to protect him. Under the care of the facility's doctors, he finds himself questioning what's real, what's not, and if he'll ever make it out alive.Drawing inspiration from real cases, and with well-researched, realistic characters, A Predator and A Psychopath is a dark and twisted thriller that is not for the soft-hearted.

A Dark and Twisted Psychological Thriller

A Predator and a Psychopath

Jason is in a psychiatric hospital because of the murder of his wife and daughter. He doesn't remember killing them and believes that he's innocent because he loved them and would never hurt them. He eventually remembers that he has a son through countless therapy lessons. What happened to his son? Did he kill him also? 

Jerry is a sexual predator, a "hunter" of young children. To him the younger the better. He is obsessed with sex and needs a release MANY times a day. He stalks his victims, watches them in their own homes via cameras he's set up and then manipulates his way into their lives. He's always looking for that perfect Alpha partner. 

How do these two souls get intertwined in each others lives. Are they one in the same? What happened to Mathew? Who killed Lisa and Lea? 

I experience so many emotions reading this book. I felt sympathy, sadness, anger and disgust. That is result of great writing. I was never bored or felt like the story was dragging. I was consumed in the story and finding out what really happened and putting closure to all the horrible things that had happened throughout. As much as I had to say it, I loved this book up until the very end. I needed more. I was left with so many questions that I had hoped would be answered. 

I will definitely look for more books by Jay Kerk.
