Publisher's summary

When social media becomes the ultimate tool of terror....

Teenager Amanda Castle was like a lot of people, posting pictures of her everyday life to a variety of social media sites. Not everyone who viewed her pictures was there to share in her experiences. One was there to steal her profile pictures.

A terrorist in Frankfurt was desperate to please his leadership. He planned the perfect attack, one in which vulnerable people would be invited through social media to participate in a flash mob. There, the unwitting participants, thinking they were taking part in a random act of kindness, would find themselves engaged in a random act of terror.

His ultimate plan: take the attack to America.

Using Amanda's pictures and the name CamaroChick19, the terrorist attempts to manipulate an unstable and socially-isolated young man named Victor into a position where he will be blamed for the attack. When the friendless Victor becomes obsessed with CamaroChick19, his tenuous grip on reality snaps and his life begins to violently unravel. Before the world closes in on him, Victor is determined to track down Amanda Castle and make her pay for everything that has gone sideways in his life.

Great Book!! Just like all the others!!

I’ve read every book Horton has published. All of the are beyond excellent and this book is no exception. The books are fast paced and keep you wanting more...I know it’s cliche but true. The great thing about this guy (Franklin Horton) is his work ethic. Not only does he keep putting out high quality stories and enlists the absolute BEST narrator in Kevin Pierce, he keeps putting books out at about two or so per year while having a “day job.” Also the storylines are interesting and the dialogue is real to the situation. You seriously can’t go wrong. I recommend all his books two million percent. Thanks Mr. Horton.

Good!

I was on the fence for about half the book. It seemed convoluted and scattered. Felt like too much trying to be crammed into a book but it pulled through and was captivating till the end. Enjoyed the narration. Definitely recommend.

Thought Provoking Listen!

This book was great! I was impressed with both the author and narrator on this story. Typically I listen to contemporary romance with some mystery and thriller mixed in. This book was said to be geared for teens. I did not think it was only for teens. The story really pulled me in and made me think about identity theft from social media and terrorism. I wasn't expecting all of the twists and turns this book had. I was very impressed with both author and narrator. I will definitely listen to more books by them. I had requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. Without giving away spoilers, I loved the ending of this book.

Riveting

Franklin Horton graps you from the first paragraph and keeps you on the edge all the way to the end. Perfect story for the big screen...I would definitely watch this as a movie.

Great story! Nice change for FH

Franklin Horton has created another great book! This is different from his other books I’ve listened to but just as exciting of a listen and kept me entertained for a long car ride.
Kevin Pierce is always a great narrator and delivers the story perfectly.

A very well written story.

What happens when random acts of kindness becomes random acts of terror? A very realistic, scary story. I received this audio book for free at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

Eye Opening

WOW, what a scary thought. This story is definitely eye opening in how social media plays a dangerous part in our lives. Very much worth the read.

Scary to think about

I'm not really into books about terrorism but I do like a good thriller which this book was. It definitely gives the reader something to think about. I know social media isn't perfect but I never thought about it being used in an act of terrorism like that, yet the whole story seemed like something that could actually happen in this day and age. The characters were well developed, and the plot was intriguing. Kevin Pierce did a very good job bringing this story to life. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
