My Review… ✨

this book had me up and down throughout The whole thing at some moments I loved it, at some moments I was frustrated by it. It was definitely a popcorn thriller in the aspect that it had me flipping through the pages and was on the simpler side of writing.
The mystery elements to the book, and the fact that for 80% of the book I was so confused and not sure where the author was going are definitely the reasons why It got four stars.
The ending was the only part they killed me, I felt as if the ending was sort of rushed. And I’m also not the biggest fan of the bad guy spilling his guts at the very last minute.
The social media aspect and how it affects everyone was interesting.
I like how I was guessing the whole time and had no idea how it was going to end.

My Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

My Thoughts

The suspense builds with each turn of the page, keeping you on the edge of your seat as you race to uncover the truth. Belle masterfully plants twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end, culminating in an explosive finale that will leave you stunned. As a first time reader of Kimberly Belle’s, I was impressed with her ability to grab my attention and keep me engrossed from cover to cover. I am giving this book a solid 5 out of 5 stars, and I highly recommend it, especially to those psychological and domestic thriller fans. I will definitely check out more of Kimberly Belle’s work. She’s definitely an author I need to read more of.

Kimberly Belle has written another great story. It is entertaining and makes you want to keep reading. The book is told from Alex and her family and AC, Alex’s assistant. Alex is a huge social media influencer whose influence is crushed by a viral post where she trashes another big social media personality. Alex and her family are targeted and afraid for their lives. I loved how this book let you put seemingly unrelated pieces together.

I love the authors very visual writing style. I could picture the story playing out in front of me. I highly recommend this wonderfully thrilling book!
