moonmin_bookcase 's review for:
Influencer
by Adam Cesare
I have had Clowns in the Cornfield on my TBR for a while now so haven’t actually read anything by Adam Cesare until now, but boy did this start with a bang! The opening scene of this book can be described as nothing less than one of the best beginnings in a book I have ever read.
Once the opening is done the story switches to the POVs of two different characters in the story, one being the sociopathic titular influencer and the second being one of his 'prey'. Here the story slows down considerably from the opening, where it turns into a more psychological attack. The main character of Aaron was fantastically written, he gave off some very “American Psycho” vibes, his inner thought process fascinating all the way to the end. As he manipulates a friend group and his followers into doing things that go beyond the norm for an influencer.
I will add that this book is not for the feint of heart, parts of it get quite gory, but it is a book that has sat with me and I have thought about daily since I listened to the audio.
Thank you Netgallery for the Arc copy in exchange for an honest review.
