Today on my blog I have the Project Cain tour. On my stop there is a spotlight, review, dream cast, and giveaway.

Fifteen-year-old Jeff Jacobson had never
heard of Jeffrey Dahmer, the infamous serial killer who brutally murdered
seventeen people more than twenty years ago. But Jeff’s life changes forever
when the man he’d thought was his father hands him a government file telling
him he was constructed in a laboratory only seven years ago, part of a
top-secret government cloning experiment called ‘Project CAIN’.
There, he was created entirely from Jeffrey
Dahmer’s DNA. There are others like Jeff—those genetically engineered directly
from the most notorious murderers of all time: The Son of Sam, The Boston
Strangler, Ted Bundy . . . even other Jeffrey Dahmer clones. Some raised, like
Jeff, in caring family environments; others within homes that mimicked the
horrific early lives of the men they were created from.
When the most dangerous boys are set free by the
geneticist who created them, the summer of killing begins. Worse, these same
teens now hold a secret weapon even more dangerous than the terrible evil they
carry within. Only Jeff can help track the clones down before it’s too late.
But will he catch the ‘monsters’ before becoming one himself?
Review:
I was so excited when I found out I got an ARC and got to be
on the blog tour. I love dark and creepy books and this has both. I mean a book
about serial killers and cloning I am all for it. How ever I had some issues
with this book.
I enjoyed the story line and thought it was fresh and unique
but for me I had a hard time connecting to the main character Jeff. He was just
very whiny to me. But I looked past it due to his whole world being turned up
side down when who he thought was his dad informs him he is in fact a clone of
infamous serial killer. I am sure I would have not handled the situation any
better than he did. Even though Jeff stayed on my nerves I did enjoy the story
line and I am looking forward to reading the next book. 4/5 Bloody Fangs
