This book was eh. Of course, a horrifying and captivating story. But the way it was told made it seem more like a work of fiction to me. I don't read many True Crime books so I don't know if this is common of the genre. The writing reminded me a lot of a high school or college paper. A good one, don't get me wrong, but not what I expect of an author.

No, daddy, don't! by Irene Pence

Read this one many many years ago and even though I can't find a review for this book I do remember I thought it was shocking.

As I just wrote to someone here on Goodreads. What is worse is that nowadays a lot of killing by mostly their dads is happening. Over the last decade there have been many killings like this one. Mainly men who cannot stand that the mother of their children is seeing someone else, or that they do not have control over them anymore, need to have revenge and they do that by killing the innocent children. They know that will hurt their mother.
Even more disgusting is that a lot of the time they do not kill themselves. Too chicken for that.

Now because I do not remember this book except for what happened, I will not rate it.… (more)

No, Daddy, Don't!: A Father's Murderous… by Irene Pence

Good but not so good book. It is hard to say I enjoyed reading a book about such a horrific event. The story was hard to read at parts and I hurt for the mom. But being based on true events it is a must read especially for someone living in an abusive relationship, to know there aren't always warning signs for someone to do such a terrible thing!
