Born Evil
Born Evil is a heartbreaking story. What would happen if, as a mother, you discovered your child is a psychopath? A child without a soul who has killed a few people in his short life? Well, for Jennifer Hanson, this is not a nightmare but reality. After a few instances that seemed accidental at the moment, it becomes clear that Jenifer has to protect her son. This all starts when Shane takes his father’s gun from the closet and shoots him dead while sleeping. Jenifer swears that this was an accident. After all, what does a six-year-old know about guns, and why would a young boy want to kill his father?
When Shane is twelve, Jennifer catches him, stabbing the family cat to death. Even though Shane doesn’t see her, the young single mother starts to question her son’s mental status. Could all the efforts she has made to raise her son right been in vain? Jennifer’s fear rises when she sees the photo of a dead girl in her son’s camera. Everyone assumed the young girl’s death was an accident when they found her body at the ravine. When she questions him, Shane claims that he found the girl dead but was afraid of speaking up because people might have accused him of being involved in her death. Then Shane’s therapist is found dead in his home, and Jennifer knows that there is no way her son can get out of this mess without facing some consequences.

This is an intriguing story with twists and turns that will leave you feeling dizzy. It is easy to understand Jennifer’s love for her son, but it is distressing that she lets things go far without taking any action. Even when it is no longer secret that her son is a psychopath, Jennifer’s first instinct is to protect her son, the same boy responsible for her husband’s death. The author lets you see how this mom agonizes with what she knows before she decides to take action. With the changing viewpoints, it is easy to see what different people thought about these cases.

Born Evil is a well-written tale that reads like a true story. Do you believe everything written here can happen in real life?

It is fun interacting with all of them and seeing how they relate and act around Shane. The pacing will leave you breathless, and the rising tension will make it impossible for you to put the book down. If you are looking for a good psychological thriller you can gobble up on a cold night, this book is ideal.
