Influencer

De: Adam Cesare

Narrado por: Isabela Merced, Christopher Briney, Brittany Pressley

From the producers of Smile and The Outsider comes a chilling psychological thriller starring Isabela Merced (Alien, Superman Legacy) and Christopher Briney (The Summer I Turned Pretty).

Aaron Fortin is new in town. He drives a brand-new Acura—a gift from his parents for uprooting him in the middle of senior year. Showing up on his first day at the local public school in that nice of a car? He knows he’ll never blend in, and he doesn’t care to try. The car, the new kid mystique, he can use all that....

Crystal Giordano carpools to the same school in her friend Trevor’s beat-up van. In the van along with Crystal and Trevor are Paul, Harmony, and Gayle. Crystal’s technically part of their misfit group, but most of the time, she feels like she’s the only one who doesn’t fit.

When Aaron Fortin sits at their lunch table, Crystal can see he’s not who he says he is. But how big of a fraud is Aaron Fortin? Crystal clumsily exposes Aaron and becomes his target, falling victim to his insidious campaign to erase her. Only then does she discover who he truly is—and it’s so much worse than she thought.

As her friends begin to follow him one by one, Crystal wonders if she can protect them or if his influence is just too strong.

Absolutely loved it!

Heard about this as a fan of Chris Briney & had to listen!! Both him & Isabella did such an amazing job, they need to narrate audiobooks so much more! The story was amazing, truly such a thriller that will leave you guessing. So glad I decided to listen! So proud of Chris!!

Really enjoyed this one!

What happens to an eclectic group of friends when an outsider joins their clique? How well do you really know your friends? Are you truly as aware of the details in your life as you think you are? How much influence does social media have in your life? What would you do for your favorite streamer even when friends get in the way?

This was a great easy listen. Well produced with wonderful voice actors. The story moves at a nice pace and I found myself being nearly done with it after what only seemed like two hours.

Disturbing and Sad

It was a good story that kept me hooked, but it was very sad to think of the reality of this type of story. The psychology of it is relevant to today’s infatuation with social media. I think this story was taken to the extreme, but it’s still scary to think that something like this can happen. I gave it 4 stars b/c I felt that the ending was rushed. I would have liked more exposition of the end results and what happened to the characters that survived.

5 stars !!!

Had me locked in until the very end !!! Excitement all the way through . Loved the character voices , they really set the tone .

I have read a lot of the “influencer” type books, but this one is very special. I had to binge it all in one sitting. I’ll be looking out for these authors in the future.
