This book gives me Unfriended and It Follows Vibes, which I love. This is a YA Horror/Thiller.

After her best friend dies in a car accident, Teresa has become agoraphobic. Even leaving her room is too much. She interacts with the outside world through her computer. Online, she is known as RePlay. This is where she lives, where she comes to life with others. She and her group of friends help each other get more views. While doing a React video to another streamer “Brick's” Video, she uncovers a mystery. Things start to go wrong not just online but also in real life. From Phantom Stalkers to a Mysterious Illness. Can Teresa figure it out before she ends up offline permanently?

This is a fast read with a nice buildup and edge-of-the-seat suspense.

This book made me think of old Cary Grant movies. Think Arsenic and Old Lace with a little bit of Philadelphia Story.

Kasey tends to jump before she looks; boy, did she land in it this time. Now she has to go home and explain to her Grandma and Celia why her boss wants to invest in their small bakery—something they do not want. Of course, when she gets home, she jumps into a mystery. Why are Grandma and Celia being secretive? Why do they have locks on some of the ingredients? Why did a client's husband pass away after getting a pie delivery? And why was there a star by the order?

This book has Romance, Mystery, and Comedy. Perfect for a Cozy Mystery Read.

I love Fairy Tail and was excited to sit down and read the first volume of Dead Rock. I loved the premise and the style. The pacing was accelerated. I wish there were a more gradual buildup. Time to get to know the characters a bit more. Instead, it hits the ground running, and you need to keep up. That said, I will be reading the rest of the series. I need to know who comes out on top.

I’ve seen a lot of great reviews about Welcome to Murdertown, so I will keep mine short and Simple. This is a great thriller that will keep you locked in. I'm looking forward to reading more books by this Author. My only complaints would be the wrap-up at the end, and I wish Marty had more growth. Let me know what you thought. Buy your copy now.
