In the past year or so I've noticed that the publishing industry has a new trend of books that center influencer culture. I love this book because so often we see beautiful influencers, living beautiful lives, with their beautiful families. We rarely get to peak behind the curtain and this book does a great job at showing the psychology and the reality of people who live their lives on camera. It can be dark at times because the author really goes there but it was so quick paced and enjoyable to read.

Her mind was a one-screen movie theater, the only film available was Final Destination: Baby Edition, and that horror show was playing on repeat." Follow Me: A Thriller Elizabeth Rose Quinn

Follow Me: A Thriller is about two twin sisters: Chiara and Adrienne. Chiara goes missing after going to an influencer event and after a year with no answers Adrienne goes on the search to find out what happened to her sister.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story telling in this book. We start the story with Chiara's point of view and then switch to Adrienne's as we get more and more into the mystery and detective work. Even when I figured out 'who done it', I was still invested with finding out the why and how and could not stop flipping the pages to see what would happen next.

Thank you to Thomas & Mercer and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Chiara has gone on a mom-influencer weekend and her husband encouraged her. Sadly, she comes up missing.
Her twin sister Adrienne is trying to find out what happened to her because the authorities have no clue even after a year.
I was never invested in these characters, so it was not one I would read again. The premise of this novel sounded good. I will still recommend reading this one.

Can mom rage and anxiety lead to murder? The majority of this book is amazing: it captures the joy and judgment, the stress and sisterhood in being a mother - all of which are compounded on social media. However, the end of the book becomes suddenly very different in tone, full of cheesy quips and too gleeful amidst gruesome death, only seeming to remember at the very end the tragedy of losing the heart of a family. I still found the book very engaging, and it raises important philosophical questions. The second-to-last part of the book just seemed to lose its way a bit before ending with a more satisfying conclusion.

Wow! Well that was dark and a bit crazy!! But I loved it!! It was like the stepford wives and crazy mommies combined! This book had great suspense, intriguing, action, plenty of gory murders, mystery, a crazy who done it and some dark twist and turns! The story was very interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley, the author and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

A terrific novel combining elements of the influencer culture with a cult setting. Powerfully written and ominous at times!
