Amelia Ashley, social media influencer, goes missing on holiday with boyfriend, Josh. Josh arrives back home without Amelia & says he had no choice but to leave after she abandoned him during their last meal in Rome & won't answer her phone.

Harper Delgado sees #WhereisAmeliaAshley trending & looks into the case. None of Amelia's bank accounts or cards have been used, there are no sightings, & her social media presence is dead. (Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf She has gone completely dark, but as Harper looks further, certain things make no sense & does Amelia's disappearance have anything to do with the disappearance of another girl two years ago?

This is a fast-paced, quick read. The reader gets to hear from Josh, Amelia, & Harper along the way & the timeline skips around quite a bit. I can't give it full marks as it was obvious which way the storyline was going to go from fairly early on,

This is a quick, easy read & it hit the spot for me. Josh & Amelia have a fight on their last day in Rome, she walks away, & does not meet him at the airport so he flies home alone. Then no one hears from Amelia again. As she's a popular social media influencer this is odd & soon her followers become concerned. The question on everyone's mind: #WhereIsAmeliaAshley Then a hacker starts researching & her question soon becomes: #WhoIsAmeliaAshley

A revenge tale for modern times with twists and turns. I figured where it was going, but the structure kept it interesting as the story unfolded. Told through different points of view, timelines, diaries, and social media posts.

All I can say is wow! I wasn't expecting this kind of read. Without giving anything away expecting dark twists and turns a whole lot of suspense. Just when you don't think if can get crazier...it does. Solid 🌟🌟🌟🌟 read
