Blurb
A riveting psychological thriller drawn from true events, Dark Mode delves into the terrifying reality of the dark web, and the price we pay for surrendering our privacy one click at a time.
Is it paranoia – or is someone watching? For years, Reagan Carsen has kept her life offline. No socials. No internet presence. No photos. Safe. Until the day she stumbles on a shocking murder in a Sydney laneway. The victim looks just like her.
Coincidence? As more murders shake the city and she’s increasingly drawn out from hiding, Reagan is forced to confront her greatest fear.
She’s been found.
My Opinion
A Thrilling Tale................
Dark Mode by Ashley Kalagian Blunt is a gripping and heart thumping thriller. At first, the plot did not catch my attention. But after a few pages the plot became so interesting and thrilling that it was nearly impossible for me to put down the book. Reagan, our main lady character has mysteries in her life which unfolds slowly and slowly giving us jump scares after every few pages. The best thing is that the plot proceeds with limited characters which keeps it less confusing. And, when I reached the climax my brain just turned into something else. I really enjoyed the book and one of the best reads of this year.
Definitely 5 stars for the book. Thanks to Random Things Tours for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
