Gwen survived the encounter with her husband’s serial killer buddies. Peace didn’t last long. She’s now chased by a worse enemy – a ransom group who produces deepfakes to extort rich people. They’re now after Gwen. She is interesting because her husband is a serial killer who is somehow connected to the group.
Gwen is not helpless, she shoots well, she’s deeply suspicious of everyone and everything, and moves a lot. So in an ideal world, the hackers wouldn’t be able to find her. Unfortunately, the world is not ideal and the wonders of the modern Big Brother have turned against her.
This book is disturbing. It’s like a different point of view to Chris Carter story. There’s blood and horror, and the book is like a scream that never stops. You have Gwen and a few of her friends who are rational, and then you have characters who are acting like victims. They are doing everything possible to sabotage their chances of survival. Buddy, I know this is the first time you see me but please hop in my pretty, white van.
At the end of the day, you don’t buy this book if you have no tolerance to horror. It’s fine but I liked Stillhouse Lake more. I had to skip a few exceptionally silly pages, and I think I missed one of the clues this way. 4.5*/5.
