Summary: A Notch Below
Review: Prior reviewers have already divulged more than you need to know about this book before you "Just Read It!" Clarice (er- FBI Agent/profiler Maggie) is back and Hannibal (er- brutal serial killer Albert Starkey ) has escaped from custody. I strongly urge you to read Kava's first book, *A Perfect Evil,* first and then *Spit Second* second, as these books are as interwoven as daytime serials and are "To Be Continued" in the next episode: *The Soul Catcher,* which lives up to * A Perfect Evil," which are both much better than this perhaps transitional episode. Stay tuned! See what happens to Harvey (no, he's not a 6 foot sometimes-invisible rabbit this time.)

Summary: Loved this one, really chilling
Review: The standout performance in this book goes to the psychopathic bad guy, Albert Stucjy, Having read about my fair share of serial killers both real and fictional this guy really made me sit up and take notice with his sheer inhumanity and evil. the author unflinchingly probes his incredibly dark soul in a way that will unsettle almost any reader. The other characters are likeable and realistic. Maggie is a good three dimmensional character who has to battle plenty of her own demons while going after Stucky and her befuddled and clumsy but ultimately likeable profiler partner provides a refreshing change from the kind of "hero supercop" who usually proliferate this genre. This is a great book! Although not one for the timid...I found it an improvement over "A Perfect Evil" which turns out to be just an appetizer for this main course.

Summary: Split Second by Alex Kava
Review: This is one of the best books I ever read. You want to read it all the same day and not put in down for even a few minutes. This is only her second book and she is very young writer with a very good vocabular. This book has over 400 pages.
You can never judge a book by it's cover. A serial killer can be a relative, friend or even a co-worker and you will never notice it.The book is well written and the author goes in the mind of a serial killer and try to determine what can trigger somebody to kill. Some of the important stuff is only divulge at the end, therefore, you want to get to the end quickly to find out the final outcome.
