I expected nothing less from Chris Carter. 

After I read The Night Stalker, I was very intrigue by the vivid storytelling then proceed to by 2 more books on the series. This book is one of them. 

But personally, this was harder to read and made me think about the questions raised in this book from a simple concept: choices. Just how many choices do we make in a single day? And how our simple choices would affect someone else? 

If you would stumble upon some live shows that asked you to vote on how to kill someone, would you do that, thinking it was only a gimmick show? Or would you stop and think that it was all disgusting and turn off the live? 

Reading this made me rethink about my own humanity. I have so much thought on this but it would probably take me too long to untangle all of that. 

Just two words: be kind. 

No matter what. Don’t talk shit on internet thinking you’re so high and mighty. You don’t know what your words/actions might affect other people.

As always Chris Carter has failed to deliver! He has given me the crime, thriller and suspense of this book. I love the characters in the series as I have always have, but it was interesting to get more from Garcia’s wife even if it was in not a way I was expecting.

This book brought difference to the whole crime diversion in Robert Hunters world. Having a cyber murder was both interesting and creepy at the same time. (It’s secretly making me extract weary when it comes to online 😬🤣). Coming to the end of the book I had my heart in my throat, you don’t know what to expect from this killer and especially who is involved.
My heart was pounding reading word after word and so many things were going through my head. If I had to stop reading at that point I wouldn’t be able to. 

Again Chris Carter has done an amazing job! I am excited to see what he brings with the next book x
