Expertly plotted. An excellent debut.
Emily, a successful influencer and is happy with her life. On the other hand Dan, her husband is not happy to have their kids pics on social media. But he can't do anything in that matter because Emily is successful in comparison to him who's stuck in a writer's block for almost eight years.
Social media has advantages and disadvantages. Here is no exception. Someone is watching Emily. Someone hates her badly. Someone wants her to pay for something. But who?
I loved Emily's character. Dan was a pathetic one but in an important role in the story. The stalker's character was ok.
Narration of the story was excellent and twists were masterful.
Thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan Mantle for giving me an advance copy.
I loved this timely thriller, depicting the influence of social media on our lives. The storyline flowed seamlessly, and the characters were realistic. Very nicely written!
Whoa!! A thrilling debut which kept enraptured from the beginning. Social media and its dangers were completely explored in this book.
Emmy was a successful influencer with her own brand. Her husband Dan did not like the children's pics on social media, but couldn't do much in the force of Emmy's personality. Entered the darkness which soon followed Emmy and laid down its claws on to her. Destruction was the forgone conclusion.
Having read many books in this genre, it was wonderful how the author could make her words express the emotions she wanted to convey. The story might seem familiar but its treatment was certainly different. It was quite thought-provoking. The characters were well developed, each one was contrary to the author. I couldn't help feeling scared for them as danger tightened its web.
The author dove into the human psyche to show the workings of the damaged mind. Emotions came through while reading. I was always wary of social media, post reading this I was petrified.
Overall, the book dealt with the good and the bad aspects of social media. I was especially engrossed as I wanted to get to the end and unmask the psycho terrorizing Emmy and her family. Quite unexpected was the end, I had to hold my breath for that one.
