I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer meets Unfriended in a game-based horror novel of cheats, lies, and deception.
This book did not always feel 100% realistic, but it was a wild journey, and I did have fun (most of the time) while reading it.
There were plenty of times that I was super annoyed with Crystal (the MC) becuase she was being so completely reckless and not picking up on what An0nym0us1 was getting her to do. But Diana Urban did a stellar job creating scenes that kept me coming back and wanting to find out what happens next.
I will likely recommend this title in the future, though it may not be my first grab.
