There is a tale that history doesn't want you to know... one where murder is the prime entertainment. When Santa set out to create a superior breed of beings, the end result was a society of supremely honed weapons of war. What he created was something the world didn't see coming. He did not, however, expect them to escape, unleashing their powers onto the world before they were perfected. Santa had a wicked plan for his children, and let me tell you, you have never seen an orphanage like this one. Thirty years later, his escaped children are coming to find him, and he, them. What have they been up to in the meantime? You will have to wait and see... With a hint of pure devilish enjoyment and faces sharper than thorns, the world was going to get more than they bargained for... After all, he created immortal beings, and they were dead set on pulling the biggest murder rampage in history.

★★★★★ "Killers Amongst Us" is set between 1940s and 1970s time. I can't exactly say what's the plot on which it is based on since it would reveal the whole thing BUT what I can say that it was a psychological thriller which really doesn't prepare you on what to come. I really enjoyed reading this. And just a few pages in and I read this "I have memories of being young, the only one in my family with auburn hair. I would get up to mischief often and my parents would punish me, telling me I was wicked. I remember this one instance, I hurt my brother; not unusual for me, yet this time he stopped breathing. I felt wickedness running through my body, enjoying the sensation."</p><p>And this really gave me a shiver. I stopped reading for a bit and just gawked at it. The sentence was written so flippantly yet surged with such strong words, oh man. I really liked how the dark humor was added which just adjoin to the thriller. I'll just add a small part of blurb to let in what this book was about "When Santa set out to create a superior breed of beings, the end result was a society of supremely honed weapons of war. What he created, was something the world didn't see coming. He did not, however, expect them to escape, unleashing their powers onto the world before they were perfected. Santa had a wicked plan for his children, and let me tell you, you have never seen an orphanage like this one." From the very first pages, it would grip you. "Are we evil?" I asked. To which he replied, "We were made evil, baby." It's interesting and keeps you on edge. After reading a few chapters, we would be able to connect all the characters which were- once again -very creatively made. The experiments, super humans are not something which isn't a possibility I think instead it's something that there's a high chance of happening somewhere. I liked the fact that the author didn't just add witch powers or vampires (I have no problems with supernatural unrealistic creatures as well, mind you ) or something instead gave a realistic approach to the story which was- gotta admit - horrifying but not unfeasible. It really got me thinking as there's always a possibility of what was written to be true. "Our dynasty. Our home. Our blood. "Overall this was a fast read which you would most definitely finish within less than an hour and would keep thinking about it in a loop- well I did. I have no idea how the author got this concept on her mind! It was amazing and fresh honestly. I loved the cover and it perfectly depicts what the readers would get once they start the book. AND I'm really excited to read more about them. The last chapter got me thinking, is this really over after all?
