3.75
I'm conflicted on whether to give this a 3.75 or a 4 because while I DID really enjoy this and flew through it in one sitting, I don't think this is a book that I would reread. It was a good thriller, don't get me wrong; the short choppy chapters really worked to build suspense and I was on the edge of my seat for the climax. It just didn't give everything I wanted it to give.
I liked how we got an insight into Deanna's life as a camgirl; I don't know if it was accurate, but it was still interesting to read about nonetheless. I wish we would've focused more on the whole fantasizing-about-murder aspect of her than the camming since one aspect was more integral to the plot than the other, but it was fine.
That being said, the author made some choices that I didn't really agree with. Jeremy as a whole I didn't particularly like. He honestly gave me creepy vibes for the most part, especially with the entire scene where he pretty much breaks into her apartment. I REALLY don't like how that scene went and how they were playing it off to be hot when it really...was not.
That being said, I did like the ending. Everything got wrapped up pretty neatly, and I'm happy that Deanna got her hopeful ending even if I don't really like the guy she got it with.

very original concept which i liked, i read it fairly quickly, i'll read the next one
the characters all seemed pretty one dimensional, the writing is lackluster, hope the next one is better
