My Review
5/5 Stars
A very intense read with suspense and mysteries coming from all angles.
With the thought of a missing sibling on both Felicity and Jonah’s minds, they set off to find them, and the truth is so much worse than what they could’ve prepared themselves for. When a supercomputer takes control of their lives, they face demons both real and not.
I love the unique idea of the plot, and I think this story really has the potential to attract all kinds of readers from lit rpg readers to thriller readers to suspense.
