Summary

"I kill, therefore I am...."

Voices slam through the corridor of his wounded mind. The words of his dead sister cry out. His parents' taunts fill the silent room where he sits and waits - waits for the murderous rage, filling him with strength, driving him to kill, to touch the cold flesh, taste the warm blood - to feel alive again....

A witness has seen him, but his killing only turns her on and now she wants to protect him. His wife suspects him, but the private detective she hired cannot stop him. Joe MacAree fears nothing - except that he may no longer be human. The thirst that drives him is relentless, moving deeper and deeper into his own shattering, private realm, where each murder is a delicious new gift of life, where revulsion is beauty, and the obsession will never let him go.

Critic reviews

"A harrowing ride through cutting-edge psychological horror, this one's got a vicious bite. Rick R. Reed's Obsessed is a twisted nightmare." Douglas Clegg

Many twists kept this a page turner

This story has so many twists and change of direction that just when I thought I knew where it was going I was wrong. Joe has a awful childhood but appears happily married, successful job and gets along great. He is driven to secretly kill but afraid of being found out. As the story moves along the facts of his childhood play into his behavior so much. He loves his wife but when she wants to leave that seems to set him off. This author does a great job of bringing to life the characters. As in this story he gives them just enough bad in their personality to keep them interesting such as Pat, the wheelchair bound recluse and Randy the husband of one of the victims. I really enjoy the stories by this author. I feel Jack de Golia the narrator did a great job. I also appreciate getting a free copy from Audiobook Boom.

Curiously mundane

For some reason this reminded me of Ann Rule's *The Stranger Beside Me*. A tale that should have been riveting but was instead, curiously mundane.

Obsessed carried far too many unimportant scenes and details to keep my attention. There were times when I skipped several chapters and felt I didn't miss anything as the characters were doing the same thing, talking about the same thing, and trying to make the same decisions (ones that shouldn't have needed much thinking at all).
