An utterly amazing thriller that left me breathless! I loved the plot the writer was able to create and was waiting for the strong finale with bated breath!

Kimberly Belle I love you!! I love all of her books and this one was no exception. Loved the characters, always love her writing style, loved the suspense.. I'm genuinely sad this book is over. Can't wait for whatever she has in the works next!

I am a big fan of Kimberly Belle's books and The Personal Assistant is no exception. The tale of a social media influencer who goes viral for all of the wrong reasons, this book sucked me in from the very beginning and definitely kept me turning the pages throughout. Fast paced and with some twists that will keep you guessing, I definitely recommend The Personal Assistant for fellow thriller lovers!

This one started out so strong and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to see what would happened next. I’ll probably be in the minority here but the big twist was a let down for me. The anticipation leading up to the twist was better than the actual twist in my opinion.

On top of the lack luster of a twist, then the ending was basically buttoned up with a bow which I definitely rolled my eyes at.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alex is an Instagram influencer and blogger with one million followers. Her posts are inspirational and full of family posts and life experiences. Until one morning, when she wakes up after a night of partying and finds a scathing post she doesn’t remember posting. But if she didn’t post it, who did? Immediately trolls are blowing up her Instagram page, calling her phone, and invading her personal life. She tries to do damage control, but can’t seem to reach her Personal Assistant to help sort this out. Why is someone out to sabotage her career? Destroy her perfect life? And tear apart her family? This was a fast paced thriller, full of so many twists and surprising turns. I really enjoyed this read. I gave it 4 stars!

This was an absolute mind twisting. I was sucked in immediately with n the non linear timeline. The back and forth had me making all kinds of wild predictions. None of them were correct. I use social media as a tool for being an influencer and this story creeped its way into my brain and started looking at all the ways it does control my life. I am in no way close to what Alex had in followers, but it is a constant gotta post, gotta check my numbers, did I get any new followers. It is constant. Phone in my hand checking notifications. This was an eye opening look into the social media world as it is today. The mystery surrounding Patrick and who he really is was so fascinating and honestly played out brilliantly. The fear surrounding Alex when her kids were threatened is very real to me as I have 3 daughters. Who is AC , her personal assistant who up and disappeared after one of the most detrimental posts on Alex’ social media account.. I was wrong about this one as well. I wasa little sad about the ending but I also think it was the best way to wrap everything up.

Honestly this book was so well written. I read it in one sitting, and I will be looking up everything else but this author. Definitely as this one to your TBR and pre-order!

Kimberly Belle can do no wrong in my book. Everything I've read from her has been absolutely thrilling and this one was no exception. I love the concept of social media thrillers. This one absolutely kept me on the edge of my seat, and kept me super involved with the dual POVs.

I absolutely love Kimberly Belle. You can immediately immerse yourself in her stories and the same goes for this one!

Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. The writing and action was fast paced. The story line was unique and well written. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Good book! Wow what a twisted crazy story! This book had suspense, intrigue, a bit of a who done it and many twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and was such a crazy tale! UT definitely kept me glued to my kindle! I will recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This was a very fun book to read- things move along quickly and while some of the characters are the most likeable, I couldn't help but want to know what was going to happen next, A very entertaining aspect of this story is the absorption with social media- everything was graded by who saw it, how they responded, what they said. What a horrifying way to live- especially when the social media was established to support authenticity for a person.
When things blow, they do so spectacularly, and watching that was as fun as the story.

I loved the multi-POV which in my opinion enriched the plot greatly. HIGH INTENSE READ!!!!! There were several red herrings that keeps the reader guessing. It made me feel like I was watching a LMN movie.

Kuddos to Kimberly Belle for creating such an awesome read!

A total page-turner of a psychological thriller- where no one is quite what they seem and the reality/dangers of putting your life out there on social media play a huge role. Highly recommend.

Totally unputdownable from the beginning to end, I totally credit this book for my sore legs and aching feet because I mostly read it while on the treadmill yesterday and today! I love how we see both sides of the characters (most of them anyway) and I was pulled in both directions. Some are good people making bad decisions. Some are bad people making worse decisions. The flaws and attempts at redemption. If you know me, you'll know how much I love the multiple first person perspectives and the nonlinear timeline. Absolutely brilliant! I absolutely recommend this book 87 billion percent!

Wow! This one kept me hooked from the very first page. I loved the modern-ism of the influencer/instagram storyline, mixed with the real-life dangers of putting your entire life on the Internet. It kept me guessing up until the very end. I love Kimberly Belle books!

The Personal Assistant by Kimberly Belle

A cautionary tale if you ever hire a personal assistant! This book wasn’t what I thought it would be simply based on the title and cover. The story is more complex than I first thought, with the story told from a few different points of view.

There’s is the main character, Alex, who is a social media influencer who lives her life on her carefully curated Instagram. Everything she does is for the maximum benefit of the ‘gram. Her life is shared through a series of beautifully styled photos where hundreds of thousands of people watch her every move. Then there is her handsome successful husband who is on the news every night as a financial guru. Together, they are a stunning and successful couple.

And then we have Alex’s personal assistant, AC. She was a hard-working, reliable young woman but after a scandal that brings down Alex’s popularity, AC is nowhere to be found. Worry turns into anger as Alex tries to piece together why AC has such an ax to grind with her. Who is this young woman?

PLOT:

Alex likes to consider herself the down-to-earth Mommy Blogger. The messy family moments she shares online have made her beloved by her followers. But all that goodwill turns toxic when one controversial Instagram post goes viral in the worst way. When Alex reaches out to her personal assistant for damage control, the assistant has gone silent.

All traces of her have vanished, leaving Alex to question the identity of this young woman who had access to all of her personal information. Alex can craft who she appears to be online, but her personal assistant has front-row seats to the pressure points of her marriage and family life and now poses the greatest threat. Written in alternating perspectives between Alex and her personal assistant, this juicy cat-and-mouse story will keep you guessing till the very end.

Meet Alex- Instagram influencer, mother of two, and finally with the love of her life. She has a past and secrets but she has put her life together and wants to keep it that way. One night Alex makes a post (or does she?) that gets her cancelled. Through this cancellation we see the dark side of social media and realize just who you can trust

Meet AC - the personal assistant who goes missing

Warning give yourself a full day. This book makes you loss all sense of time!!

Thanks to park row, Harper Collins and netgalley for the ARC

Fantastic! I thought I had it all figured out but was very very wrong. This book kept me on my toes and I cannot wait to turn all my coworkers and customers into readers of this thriller. Five stars!

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, Harlequin Trade Publishing and by #NetGalley. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

A bit of a slow start, then it’s fully unleashed. I was delighted with the POVs, how it all played out.

I was really looking forward to this story. However, it fell short of my expectations. I don't mind an unlikeable character but the ones in this book were beyond unlikable for me. The story wasn't very suspenseful and I didn't like the plot developments because everything was a bit slow to where I lost interest. I appreciate getting to try this book out and see if it was something I wanted to put on my peers radar.
