How is it all connected? Or is it? And how can Abby even access the answers she needs from a controlled community with a lot of secrets to keep? Time is running out. There are too many connections with the said cult to be a coincidence. (Sidenote: spellcheck says influencer isn’t a word- how has this not been added to the dictionary yet?) Several years prior Eden had joined and then later left a different cult. From the abductor’s chapters we gather that he has an obsession with Nathan’s older sister, Gabrielle, who is a popular social media influencer. This book is written in several third-person POVs. Her past comes back to haunt her years later as she is contacted by Eden, one of the other survivors, whose son, Nathan, was just kidnapped and ransomed for 5 million dollars. It ended in a blazing fire with only 3 survivors- her and 2 other kids. At the age of 7 Abby was caught up in a standoff between her cult and the police. Choose a different religion psychos.)Īnyway.

“He was actually a softhearted kitten trapped in a the body of a nineties-movie action hero.” I also want to commend the author for good, creative, realistic, and at times (properly) funny writing and dialogue. You will probably finish the book feeling like you could most certainly negotiate yourself out of a hostage situation! (But let’s not do anything stupid.) It includes quite a bit of negotiating strategy. It ends on a cliffhanger setting up book two. BUT based on the last few sentences of the book, I was actually right just in a different way. I thought I had the abductor figured out, but I was wrong. This was a well-written and suspenseful story. Which is more dangerous- the influence of a cult or being a social media influencer?Ī Deadly Influence weaves these two powers together in a chilling thriller about a kidnapping and what it takes to get him back.
