The technical, procedural aspects of these sections are just as well-written and convincing as John's surreal, violent inner monologues...Fans of Thomas Harris’ The Silence of the Lambs and Shane Stevens’ By Reason of Insanity may find a new favorite author here. A violent, disturbing thriller.

Helford has a writing style that makes you forget that you're reading…You become a part of the story. It's emotional and terrifying and powerful… I've read a lot of serial killer books, and I don't think anyone has 'nailed' it quite like Helford.
- Minding Spot
The mind of a killer is scary enough, but to humanize him really startled me. I was in his head, and I could not stop what he was going to do. I am giving this book a 5/5.

The concept of this story is mind boggling. I absolutely loved it...If you're a [blood and gore] fan, I recommend you snatch this one up. You won't be disappointed.
- Book Kins
This is a story that goes beyond any book on serial killers...There were times when John's past was revealed that I actually wanted to cry for him. Then when the extent of his violence was revealed, I wanted him to be strung up from the nearest tree.
- Paranormal Romance Guild
From a Killer's Mind is a vividly-expressed, intricately-detailed, and quite literally fulfills its title...[It] is a stand-out thriller that will burrow its way into a niche in your mind.
- Mallory Heart Reviews
This author really knows how to evoke emotions, whether it be horror, fear, and even compassion...Overall, this isn't my usual genre but I really enjoyed myself...Kudos to the author for making such an impression on me with his writing.
- Bargain Book Reviews
I think the only way to conclude this review is to say that the title, From a Killer's Mind, speaks for itself. You spend time in the mind of a killer and it's up to each of us to figure out if that's something you can handle.

Everything was perfect about this book. The writing was tight and convincing. John was portrayed as a completely horrible person. His life was a nightmare. Way too much of a nightmare for me.
