California's Pacific Crest Trail is one of the world's most famous hiking trails as it goes from Canada to Mexico. While people vanishing among it isn't a rarity, the murder of a guide and three missing teenagers has the public's attention. Are vampires real and did they murder the guide? Is it just staged as comments under a video of the dead guide, which was posted by another user, imply? Though, where is the account owner of the viral video and why doesn't she answer any messages when everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame nowadays? While Reni and Daniel still grapple with their traumatic pasts, they have to find out quickly what truly happened on the hike if they want to find the three teens alive.
Tell Me is the second instalment in the series and more fast-paced and thrilling than the first book. It helps that the victims were alive when the author introduced them, and that the book feels less like a glorification of serial killers and just like your regular thriller where something awful happened. It has less mystery aspect but is still very psychological (with the additional gore). The book focuses on Reni's healing, on Daniel's search for his mother, their growing relationship, and how social media influences people. "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" by Warhol certainly rings true in this case.
Do not expect a developed romantic relationship between Reni and Daniel (like the summary indicates). Their romance aspect is tiny and happens only in the last chapter/epilogue. The rest of their relationship through the book is based on their job, friendship and healing from their traumatic past. Tbh: I could have done without them getting together.
