It was really good and in a way I couldn't put it down, but it also made me deeply uncomfortable. I didn't like any of these characters in any way. It was truly like looking at a grisly traffic accident and then feeling ashamed of yourself.
CW for EXTREME animal cruelty (a bird and a cat). It doesn't happen often but when it does it's as bad as it can be.

This was my first book written by this author. I have been recommended their works on numerous occasions and been told that it would be right up my alley.
Influencer was such a great horror book and had all the fantastic makings that left you feeling on edge.
Though, I am truthfully shocked that this is marked as young adult because of some of the content that occurred in the book so I do want to say to check out trigger warnings if you don’t usually venture into the horror genre.
I will definitely be picking up more works by this author.
Thank you to NetGalley and Union Square & Co. for providing me with this ARC. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
