"Young Ruby Marlowe is being raised by her single father after her mother's passing. She idolizes him, he is her hero. She'll do anything to protect him. Especially once she finds out about his killing game. As the title states, Ruby's dad is a serial killer and she found a way to watch him create, as she puts it, his "beautiful masterpieces."<br/><br/>She writes extensively about her daddy's killing game and how beautiful it is, but fully realizing what's happening. We follow her from this point through age 16 as she writes her diary entries about her life, her obsession with her dad, and his killing game. Will she grow up to turn him in, or follow in her idol's footsteps and play the killing game too?<br/><br/>This book is extremely dark, chilling, and at times difficult to read. Ruby has some developmental disabilities and is brutally bullied both physically and emotionally. They call her the "r" word among other things. So if this is troubling for you, please be aware. <br/><br/>I liked the way it was written and how we watch Ruby grow in life and her thoughts. Seeing it all from her diary entries really added to the story and helped really develop the characters. If you like dark and disturbing reads, this is for you, just beware of the triggers previously discussed."
