Kiera, a 17 year old high student and secret game creator. Her boyfriend nor parents know of her secret gaming addiction. Another high school student is murdered behind the game-Kiera has second thoughts. What will she decide to do next?! 

Confining in her sister, Steph and her virtual friend, Cicada helps her a ton. She began getting harassed by an anonymous account-Dred Scott. The first person to cross her mind is Wyatt. He’s her best friend’s brother. She finds out this person is a bit closer to her though. Who will it be revealed as? Playing it safe, she doesn’t reveal who she is. Will she ever? 

She starts to see her “friends” true colors. Malcolm starts behaving out of the ordinary. Will her parents become suspicious? Hopefully, they haven’t turned their backs on Kiera. As far as her gaming, does it get shutdown? Or…will Cicada stay in touch with her? So many unanswered questions. Read more to find out…

*A con to the story was the fact of many chapters describing the gaming world. I would’ve love seeing more of the relationship with her friends.
