""A mesmerizing memoir...The details, research, and candor in this highly recommended work will captivate readers, who won't be able to put it down."" --Library Journal, starred review ""Although the title Raised by a Serial Killer sounds provocative, the memoir by April Balascio...is sensational only in terms of its excellence. Like Tara Westover (Educated), she is a savvy survivor and a courageously skilled narrator...Unputdownable...Readers will find themselves utterly immersed."" --Bookpage, starred review ""[A] chilling debut...Balascio's blunt, conversational prose allows the horrors of her situation to register without melodrama or overstatement. Readers will be enthralled by this frank and frightening account."" --Publishers Weekly ""Balascio's memoir is categorized as true crime, but that does not mean it is not a thriller...Killers' families rarely speak in detail about their loved one's misdeeds, which makes this book a key sociological text, as well as a literary gem. Edwards isn't as famous as, say, Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer, but readers intrigued by the latter two will be just as gripped by Balascio's tale."" --Booklist
