~Murder-Mystery, Plot-twists, Secrets, and more!~

Instagoner by Sydney Leigh follows Emily Dalle, a professional blogger and Instagramer. After quite literally stumbling into her frienemy and infamous talk show host, Jackie's body, she asks her followers for help to uncover the truth about her death. With the help of her follower's tips and her loyal dog Murray, will she be able to discover the truth, or will the online threatening messages she receives turn into more than just empty threats?

4| Overall, this book was a quite enjoyable, easy read. I love the concept of it and think the series has enormous potential. The title is a funny pun. Emily is stubborn and determined to find out the truth no matter what anyone says, and while that can be frustrating at times, it helped me better grasp who the character is. Emily's backstory with Jackie is interesting, and I liked how, despite Jackies passing, she was characterized for who she was and not a sugar-coated version. Lots of characters had motive and opportunitiy, which had me guessing who it was til the end. I love Emily's wholesome friendship with Fitz; he is loyal to a fault and always there when she needs him. I felt his sexuality was danced around a little bit too much for my taste. While he is a side character, he is also Emily's closest friend, and I wish the story delved more into him, even if it was subtle. His character is something I hope in future books will be more fleshed out.

Emily using her blog to find out more about what happened to Jackie was fun. I wish I had got to see more of her blog posts and her career in general. At times, I felt Emily went back and forth too much. She was very judgemental about a lot of things and then, the next second, fine with it. She is very quick to judge which got a little annoying. Although it says a lot about her and her loyalty to the people around her it felt like she was too easy on some people but then way harsher on others. The killer was not someone I saw coming, even with the subtle clues sprinkled about. There were a perfect amount of red herrings to make me question any and everyone. The potential for Emily and Noah's future romance is something I'm interested in seeing more of in future books. I loved Murray and the rolled he played in the story. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the places like the studio and mountains. The pop culture references were well done though some of the language felt a little forced and awkward at times.

In future books, I would love to see more of Noah and Emily and how their relationship progresses. I would also love to see more of Fitz and his backstory. Seeing more of Emilys day to day life would be a nice touch that would help break up a lot of back and forth she feels. This story was well-written and enjoyable. Getting to know more about the town would be fun to see. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for future books in this series and what happens to Emily next!
