Internet 101:

NEVER click any links you are sent even if it's from friends, check with them first!!!

That's what Marty Benson did when he received a link from his friend promising £100,000 every Friday if he followed the rules.

That was the worse decision he ever made. 

I honestly believe Stuart's latest work is the best he's ever written and believe me they're all creepy as hell!!.

Who comes up with an app that makes normal law-abiding citizens perform the most hideous acts? A psychopath of course!!. There are two plots to the story, the present from Marty's perspective and the past from the developer's beginnings which merge to make an exciting non-stop creepy/edge-of-the-seat (literally) action-filled read.

Loved the characters and the things they go through are so palpable it's creepy, but special mention goes to Marty's mother-in-law Ethel, she's oblivious to what's happening and the things she says add a touch of humour to the situation.

I can't recommend it enough! you're in for a ride!
