ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 15, 2024
Shae Halston lives a life of luxury–at least that’s what her followers think.
After a devastating affair ends her marriage, the internet influencer and It Girl must confront her new normal without losing her grip on reality–or any of her devoted followers. In an act of furious desperation, Shae befriends her husband’s new lover, but the closer she gets to their new life the more her mental health unravels. Soon, manic delusions replace her sanity and before long compulsive thoughts of revenge obsess her until the lines between her online persona and reality blur.
When a tragic accident turns violent, the spotlight turns to Shae and the threat of losing everything looms again. Until an opportunity arises that could secure her freedom for good…even at the cost of another life.
•••••
REVIEW:THE INFLUENCER is the first instalment in Adriane Leigh’s contemporary, adult PULSE POUNDING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER dark, thriller series focusing on Shae Halston aka Mia Starr.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from first person perspective (Shae/Mia) and a chapter from Kelly THE INFLUENCER follows in the wake of the demise of Shae/ Mia’s marriage. The persona of Mia Starr is an internet influencer but as Shae Halton, her world is spiralling out of control. When her husband serves her with divorce papers, Shae is determined to continue the lifestyle she has forged on line, a life style that never existed beyond the virtual world. Desperate and psychotic, Shae goes in search of her former husband, befriending his new girlfriend, and sets into motion a plan to destroy their lives.
THE INFLUENCER is a story of mental illness and obsession; secret and lies, betrayal and vengeance, murder and mayhem. Shae Halton is a thirty-something woman who has lost touch with reality, and in doing so, is no longer the person anyone recognizes. The thought provoking premise is tragic, raw, haunting and twisted; the characters are desperate and delusional-Shae /Mia is an unlikeable anti-heroine, a woman whose concept of right and wrong no longer exists. THE INFLUENCER ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
