The way she ends things. That last sentence really disappointed and ruined it for me

Overall engaging book with plenty of twists to keep you guessing. For me the idea of Social Media Influencers had no bearing on the story at all - it could have been any group at all and the characters wouldn’t have changed.

I loved this book...right until the end. I can't believe it ended that way. I read it on my Kindle, but I have the actual book; & I literally got up & grabbed the book & paged until the end, bc I thought maybe something got cut off with the Kindle version or something. Nope! She really did end it like that! I'm gonna goggle her other books & reviews of her other books, to see if they all end cheaply (imo); or if that was just a bad one. Which really sucks bc like I said; I loved it right up until the ending. And if all her books are gonna be like that; then I don't care to read any more of them; which is really disappointing; bc like I said; it was great until the last sentence!

Great story. But spoiler alert- horrible ending that ends on a cliffhanger. One of those horror movie cliffhangers where the author essentially isn't sure how to end it favorably so just goes for shock and infuriating in hopes of garnishing reviews and attention.
