He is a young sadistic teenage boy who has some sick fantasies that hes dying to play out in real life and eventually he gets his wish when he kidnaps Samantha and later kidnaps her friend Megan when Megan becomes dangerously close to finding Samantha.Jimmy is not what you'd expect. He's your normal, everyday teenager who plays video games with his younger brother Allan, jokes around and is fond of his mother and father and has a lovely girlfriend and we see them stumbling into their newfound romance and the loss of their virginity to each other.The author has made Jimmy eerily normal with a loving family and a healthy upbringing which adds to the creep factor even more as we tend to analyse why people do the things they do and what makes a serial killer / rapist. We like to think that abuse, both physical, mental and sexual during childhood over a long period of time contributes to this matter and is the cause of such sadistic thoughts / behaviours but unfortunately this is not always the case and Jimmy highlights this fact a lot as his actions were done out of curiosity and erotic fantasies that he played out too far.This novel is written extremely well in a way where the scenes play in your mind very well and are all too realistic and has great pauses and timing between characters.It is hard to believe this is the authors first major NovelThis is a must have and will hook you right from the very start and keep you hooked right up until the end.I loved the characters and felt so conflicted within myself as even though I knew Jimmy was bad and with the actions he decided to take meant there was no turning back, I couldn't stop myself from liking him as he has so many likable qualities amongst his sick thoughts.I wont say too much more except the ending had me in tears with 3 murders and 2 suicides but it was simply perfect for the story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars equal parts gut-wrenching, suspenseful, warm, but ultimately tragic *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2013* This my first time reading Malmborg's work in the form of a novel, and I have to say that, overall, he tells a compelling story that is equal parts gut-wrenching, suspenseful, warm, but ultimately tragic. I'm actually hesitant to call Jimmy a a "horror" novel. I feel it would fit in under crime and suspense more appropriately. With the recent news of the kidnappers in Ohio who put their victims through similar tortures to that which the subject of this novel doles out to his victims, I truly appreciated Malmborg's long, unblinking look into the darkest aspects of human nature. The author is not trying to gross us out, he is simply drawing on the reality we see in tragic crime stories every day, and that can be scary enough. He shows us just how seamlessly a monster and a man can co-exist under the same skull cap. Jimmy Hawthorn is tragic, for certain, because while he proves himself a remorseless son-of-a-bitch, with zero empathy for those whose lives he destroys, he manages to be a very loyal, loving, and funny friend, brother, and son outside of that context, which makes the eventual climax all the more floor-dropping. In that way, he is more Francis Dolarhyde than Hannibal Lecter. What makes Jimmy (the novel) enjoyable, I think, is how Malmborg characterizes the people in his story. He seems to remember very well what it was like to be a young person: scared, defiant, curious, unreasonable, silly, care-free...and we really feel for those persons who live and laugh and exist while just below the surface (in some cases literally) there is a very real ugliness that threatens to unravel everything, and that's what makes the story most unsettling. The pacing of the book is also very well done, and Malmborg proves himself a story teller who keeps his audience engaged. I enjoyed the shifting perspectives within a scene especially. The only reason I didn't finish the novel sooner was that I had to stop reading it before bed. I recommend this read, but only if you can stomach some very dark moments. But if you can, there's very well done thriller here. I look forward to continue following this author's work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Cr*p what an amazing read! *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023* William Malmborg writes Jimmy Hawthorne in such a way that you actually feel for him in certain scenes of this book.Keep in mind that Jimmy is the villain, he has kidnapped two classmates and has them hanging by their wrists in a secret underground shelter (no spoilers, that is all in the description). The things that Jimmy does to his victims (both imagined and real) is monstrous, it's vile, it's uncomfortable at times.Then he leaves the shelter and you get the other side of Jimmy. He interacts with his brother, his family, kids at school, and his girlfriend. You see that he is a normal kid and this is who you feel for.It hard to reconcile the two. And it's easy to see why people who have lived with Serial Killers have said that they had no idea what was going on.This book is not for the weak - there are passages that are hard to read, but it is a very good book and I highly recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/98948707-jimmy](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/98948707-jimmy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
