USA TODAY bestselling author Kimberly Belle returns with a deeply addictive thriller exploring the dark side of the digital world when a mommy-blogger’s assistant goes missing.  

When Alex first began posting unscripted family moments and motivational messages online, she had no intention of becoming an influencer. Overnight it seemed she’d amassed a huge following, and her hobby became a full-time job—one that was impossible to manage without her sharp-as-a-tack personal assistant, AC.

But all the good-will of her followers turns toxic when one controversial post goes viral in the worst possible way. Alex reaches out to AC for damage control, but her assistant has gone silent. This young woman Alex trusted with all her secrets, who had access to her personal information and front row seats to the pressure points in her marriage and family life, is now missing 

​and the police are looking to Alex and her husband for answers. As Alex digs into AC’s identity – and a woman is found murdered – she’ll find the greatest threat isn’t online, but in her own living room.

Written in alternating perspectives between Alex, her husband, and the mysterious AC, this juicy cat and mouse story will keep you guessing till the very end.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

Unfortunately, this is not my favorite book from the author. While I love the concept of social media gone wrong after a bad post goes viral followed up by a missing assistant, I truly detested the MCs. Its clear early on that Alex is written to be an unlikable character but my personal preference is to avoid characters like this. There’s just something about them that always rubs me the wrong way. That’s not the authors fault and doesn’t mean this won’t be someone else’s favorite book of the year, it’s just my preference when it comes to characters and reading. These types of narrators always leave me feeling pretty “blah” about the book. Aside from my dislike for the characters this is definitely binge worthy! Readers who enjoy domestic suspense and mystery will plow through this fast paced read in no time!
