One of the most exciting thrillers I’ve ever read. The multi POV even added to the mystery taking you down roads that bring more questions in a good way. I have a new most hated character to add to my all time list and that’s Jack Larson. I will be reading this again to see what I missed the first time!

Fun continuing on from The One and the small mentions of finding your DNA match. Struggled to get into this story but the last third did have some fun back to back to back twists and reveals. But even with a few shocking twists the overall plot line felt predictable and a bit too preachy.

4.0

A thrilling read. A fascinating look at the risks of modern technology, but very much retaining a human heart. The ethics of AI, celebrity culture and the voyeuristic and judgemental tendencies of social media all get an airing in this book.

Driverless cars are now the norm, but technology is vulnerable and as The Hacker holds eight passengers hostage in separate cars. Their lives are under scrutiny and their dark secrets revealed as the public and a small jury are asked to decide who should die and who deserves to live.

Compelling reading and kept me gripped right to the end. Recommended read.
