Twisty dark

The first bits with Kellie and her obsession with serial killers and murder shows and taking the test to see if she qualified as a psychopath were quite entertaining and had the right comedic touch. Even her continued communications with the serial killer she caught awhile were good. However, when the new killer came on the scene, it got a bit darker than I was ready for, with Kellie trying to figure it out and rise again in fame over that awful Dick Grayson who was always spouting headlines at her (so annoying he was!) and deal with the possibility it was someone she knew, or even herself. It was a fast read and different than I was expecting, especially that ending and the twists but I liked it, even if I wasn't really a fan of the main character (she did have some interesting thoughts though).
