The Personal Assistant by Kimberly Belle.
Thank you to Park Row Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Synopsis
USA TODAY bestselling author Kimberly Belle returns with a deeply addictive thriller exploring the dark side of the digital world when a mommy-blogger’s assistant goes missing.
When Alex first began posting unscripted family moments and motivational messages online, she had no intention of becoming an influencer. Overnight it seemed she’d amassed a huge following, and her hobby became a full-time job—one that was impossible to manage without her sharp-as-a-tack personal assistant, AC.
But all the good-will of her followers turns toxic when one controversial post goes viral in the worst possible way. Alex reaches out to AC for damage control, but her assistant has gone silent. This young woman Alex trusted with all her secrets, who had access to her personal information and front row seats to the pressure points in her marriage and family life, is now missing and the police are looking to Alex and her husband for answers.
As Alex digs into AC’s identity – and a woman is found murdered – she’ll find the greatest threat isn’t online, but in her own living room.
Written in alternating perspectives between Alex, her husband, and the mysterious AC, this juicy cat and mouse story will keep you guessing till the very end.
My Review
An entertaining, suspenseful psychological thriller about the dangers of over sharing on social media. The author expertly weaves together the three narrators in alternating chapters between pov's of Alex, her husband Patrick, and Alex's personal assistant, the mysterious narrator known as AC.
Though I wasn't awed and shocked by the ending, overall it was a satisfying read. I wanted to keep reading to find out how it would all come together in the end. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.
