I've read several of Edward's books and I have to say Life After Dane is his best work yet.I would call it a psychological thriller and horror story. But it's more than that. You could also call it a ghost story but it isn't a house that's haunted.They say a serial killer can be born one or made into one. I'm not sure which it was for Dane, but he was prolific, killing 42 people. His moniker, The Rest Stop Dentist, was earned because he stalked and killed his victims at rest stops and left a trail of their teeth, like bread crumbs, leading to their discarded corpses.Like in real life, the law does catch up with him and on October 25, 2013, Dane Peters is sent to hell.But Dane isn't planning on staying there, and before long, he pays a visit to his loving mother, the chain-smoking woman who stood by and watched him suffer at the hands of his abusive father.Dane is back and he wants his own brand of justice.I like how the author  showed you both sides of the story, both Danes and his mother, Ella May's. It helped me to see behind their actions and connect with them.Dane is horrific, but you almost feel sorry for him. Good writing there.Ella May is sweet and loving, but she'll tick you off, making you want to slap her down. More good writing.I would put the pacing of this story as relentless. Once you start reading, you'll not want to stop until the white-knuckled read is over.When I reached the end, my heart was pounding in my ears and my jaw ached from clenching my teeth. I just sat there, thinking. Then I got up and grabbed a romance book to read so I wouldn't be thinking about Dane when I went to sleep!I received this book for my honest review. I've read many of this author's books and will be buying more as fast as he writes them!
