This is another well-crafted book by Sara Driscoll (a.k.a. Jen J Danna). She dives into the world of social media and online gaming, using her deep research skills to build a believable story. Her ability to build suspense is also masterful. All of us worry to some degree about having accounts hacked or identity theft, but she brings those issues to life as her killer stalks physiotherapist and personal advice program host Krista.
My stomach clenched as I read about the killer repeatedly getting past security protocols to post violent comments on Krista’s chat, but realizing the guy was actually getting into her apartment was terrifying. The tension continues to mount until Krista finds herself in a fight for her life. Don’t miss this exciting new thriller by Sara Driscoll.

As usual Jen hit it out of the park! This is a very relevant plotline.
This author knows how to ratchet up the suspense, at one point I actually had goosebumps! It is very obvious that the author did a lot of research to get this story just right.

In these days of so many social platforms, the overconfidence of anonymity, and people posting their biggest problems and deepest secrets online for total strangers, this is an extremely relevant plotline.
Despite being of an age that some expect to know this stuff, I've never tried Twitch or Discord to be familiar with how it all works. Luckily, Krista is new to scene so Hailey explains it all to her and the reader without it feeling clunky or lecturing.
Krista is an interesting mix of physical therapist and Internet advice guru, Hailey is a tech whiz, but you understand their friendship. You really hate the mysterious stalker, and appreciate Zach's support. It just goes to show how vivid and defined the characters are. Krista's connection to the killer came as a surprise to me and a really interesting twist, especially when you realize there was a seemingly throwaway mention earlier. This author always knows how to bring the suspense. I was feeling Krista's stress just from reading! Such a well-developed plot, and obviously a ton of research into the technical side to set everything up.
I don't usually think in these terms when reading, but this time it did cross my mind once or twice that this could make a good movie.
