Although this is a work of fiction I have no doubts it may become the reality for some people one of this days。 Life on line can be frightening and private information can be hacked and used by third parties， this story， however， takes everything over the top！ The plot has been seen in the movies， but is well written， fast-paced and entertaining！I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

I enjoyed this novel in one sitting。 It is quick-paced and character development comes at you fast。 After all， when your world is crumbling you need to find a resolution fast。 Lauren tries to remain hopefully and just brush things off as bad luck and hopes things will turn around。 After all she has done nothing wrong。。。。right？ The author does a great job of giving ys a few different "is that the guy/gal？"？？？ I kind of figured it out but it was not glaring and obvious。 Well done。 I enjoyed this novel in one sitting。 It is quick-paced and character development comes at you fast。 After all， when your world is crumbling you need to find a resolution fast。 Lauren tries to remain hopefully and just brush things off as bad luck and hopes things will turn around。 After all she has done nothing wrong。。。。right？ The author does a great job of giving ys a few different "is that the guy/gal？"？？？ I kind of figured it out but it was not glaring and obvious。 Well done。 。。。more

Lauren seems to have it all - a great job at a Manchester market agency， a nice home which she shares with her fiance Akshay and a good relationship with her coworkers / friends and family。But Lauren's perfect life isn't so perfect anymore。 When Lauren failes an important pitch at work， someone keyes her car and she gets some random sex texts is soon looks like someone has it out for her。 While she is trying to get to know what happened the attacks escalate， she loses her boyfriend and access to Lauren seems to have it all - a great job at a Manchester market agency， a nice home which she shares with her fiance Akshay and a good relationship with her coworkers / friends and family。But Lauren's perfect life isn't so perfect anymore。 When Lauren failes an important pitch at work， someone keyes her car and she gets some random sex texts is soon looks like someone has it out for her。 While she is trying to get to know what happened the attacks escalate， she loses her boyfriend and access to her credit cards and social media accounts as well。 The life Lauren knows is under attack and she will do anything to get it back。This story has an exciting starting point， the heroine is under attack and it makes you wonder who is behind it。 Unfortunately I guessed the culprit rather quickly even though there was a twist at the end。Lauren， for me， wasn't a great character and the way she went over suspects didn't feel like she was trying hard or she just focused on one person and was convinced he/she did it。 Other characters fell a little blank and some parts of the story didn't feel realistic。 Overall the story did raise a question on putting our life on social media and how safe is information and storage on technical devices。A great thank you to the author Nora Valters， publisher Inkubator Books and NetGalley for a free electronic copy。 。。。more

Lauren is finding her dream life turning into a nightmare。 It would seem she has angered someone。 She is under attack and we are a witness。 We are kept in anticipation because as she scrambles she needs to get some answers。 If not worst things could happen。 Eating this Thriller up I turn the pages to see where she lands。

Ultimate thriller with what I dare say has a horror side。 Those who love to guess who did it in mysteries， those who like to feel true terror， and those who like multiple twists will love this mystery thriller！ This newer author has my attention， and I can’t wait to read more thrilling books that’ll leave me and my whole household stressed to the very last chapter。 I hope this review helps you decide if this is the right read for you。 Happy Reading， and Blessed Be。 Lily Ashtree

This fast paced thriller is somewhat over the top。 It's not too difficult to find out out who's behind this revenge spree - but it's not believable that anyone would go this far。 This fast paced thriller is somewhat over the top。 It's not too difficult to find out out who's behind this revenge spree - but it's not believable that anyone would go this far。 。。。more

Lauren seems to be having a perfect life--with a perfect job， a fiancé she loves so much and everything about her life seems perfect。 But then suddenly， her perfect life crashes when someone is out to destroy her。 From ruining her presentation on her big day to her computer being hacked and someone writing obscene things in her car， someone is clearly determined to ruin Lauren's life。 Then Lauren loses her fiance， her job and she is determined to find out who is out to destroy her。Let's start wi Lauren seems to be having a perfect life--with a perfect job， a fiancé she loves so much and everything about her life seems perfect。 But then suddenly， her perfect life crashes when someone is out to destroy her。 From ruining her presentation on her big day to her computer being hacked and someone writing obscene things in her car， someone is clearly determined to ruin Lauren's life。 Then Lauren loses her fiance， her job and she is determined to find out who is out to destroy her。Let's start with the plot--the plot of the story is intriguing。 Lauren whose life is perfect seems to have angered someone who is set to take revenge。 As a reader， I am curious what Lauren would have done--was it to do with work or something to do with past？ Either way， it was engaging and intriguing。 The thriller is fast paced and quick to read that you could actually finish the book really quick。 I do like a fast paced thriller so that's a plus for me。 However， I didn't find much twists and turns that you would normally find in a thriller。 The story seems direct， and to me， the suspects are few that you could easily pick out who is the one who is plotting revenge against Lauren。 The writing was OK and at times， there were some parts that I found meh。 The characters are OK to me。 I could easily understand Lauren's frustration and her determination to find out who is ruining her nearly perfect life。Over all， this was a good thriller--fast paced， quick to read and finish。 Worth four stars！ Thank you Netgalley and publisher for granting me an ARC of this books。 The review is based on my honest opinion only。 。。。more

Things are happening to Lauren。 Things she cannot explain or control。 Someone is out to get her but no one will believe her。 Each twist and turn has you thinking， wondering who could be doing this。 At the end it was a person I never saw coming。 It was such a great read I could hardly put it down！ Definitely worth a read if you like mystery and suspense！

This book is definitely a must-read if you like short and fast-paced thrillers。 Lauren's story was so intriguing and captivating that I could not stop reading it。 Regarding the plot twist。 I can honestly say that I did not see it coming， but I did like it。 The only small complaint that I have is that the book does not tell you what happened with her close family and boss。 Nevertheless， I did enjoy the book。I had the opportunity to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review， thanks to NetGalle This book is definitely a must-read if you like short and fast-paced thrillers。 Lauren's story was so intriguing and captivating that I could not stop reading it。 Regarding the plot twist。 I can honestly say that I did not see it coming， but I did like it。 The only small complaint that I have is that the book does not tell you what happened with her close family and boss。 Nevertheless， I did enjoy the book。I had the opportunity to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review， thanks to NetGalley and Inkubator Books。 。。。more
