Description:

“Horror fans will have a tough time putting this down once they start reading. A killer read.”
Kirkus, STARRED Review
 
Follow him or die...

Influencer, by Bram Stoker Award–winning author Adam Cesare, is a tense and timely psychological thriller told from alternating points of view about a teenage girl who begins to suspect the charismatic new kid may in fact be a murderous psychopath. As more and more of her friends fall under his influence, her suspicions begin to come across like jealousy. But is she right? And if so, how much more dangerous would he be toward someone who has discovered his secret?
 
A new and expanded paperback adaptation of the Audible Original, Influencer explores the dark side of social media and the cult of personalities that flourish there as the teens navigate their own fears about friendship and popularity, culminating in an epic battle of wills that will leave readers breathless.

“What's so scary about
Influencer is how possible it is—how likely it feels, and just how convincingly real these characters are. I read a lot of scary stuff, but this is the only book for years to worm its way into my dreams and make me finish the book faster, just so I can maybe sleep again.”
Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians

“Sizzling writing and a skin-crawling story make
Influencer one of the most addictive horror novels I've read. It's deeply uncomfortable, deeply perceptive, and deliciously fun.”
Darcy Coates, USA Today bestselling author of The Whispering Dead

Influencer is a real nail-biter of a thriller! Relatable characters, devious plot twists, and a breakneck pace. Highly recommended!”
Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Long Past Midnight

"Rarely does a book build suspense as perfectly as this one. Readers will fall under the spell of the title and influence their friends to pick it up as well. Remember: Don't just read, share."

5.0 out of 5 stars The horror of teenage angst with a highly relatable protagonist

L.N. · October 15, 2024

Just being in High-school is horrifying enough and Cesare honors that in this novel. He generates his scares by twisting the social dynamics of stressed teenagers to the breaking point. It a relatable and nuanced twist to the high-school horror genre, very in touch with the modern teenage landscapes, making it all the more scary for how close to reality this book truly comes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book for this time of “Influencers”

M.H. · October 16, 2024

I have been a fan of Adam Cesare since all of the Clown in a Cornfield books and I was really wondering how I would like something different. Well, I was absolutely not disappointed!! Adam Cesare has a way of hooking you into his stories from page one and holding your interest until the very last page. I know that I will read every book h to at he writes and I will display those books proudly on my shelves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book

M.K. · October 5, 2024

This book doesn't disappoint. And who ever heard of waiting for the mind games and terror to start?I loved reading this book and may have lost a few hours of sleep... It's an action packed, thriller that follows a group to high school kids and show just how dangerous social media can be.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5-4 star story about a young psycho

K.H. · November 30, 2024

Honestly, this entire story was giving young Patrick Bateman vibes. A very good story up to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars An almost cinematic page-turner!

J.B. · October 14, 2024

Adam Cesare has penned a keeps-you-up-all night YA thriller. Every character in Influencer feels three-dimensional. And the twists and turns had me coming back to the book at my first best opportunity. I sincerely hope this gers turned into a movie. I'd watch it for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book!

A. · October 4, 2024

This book drew me in right from the beginning. I loved having the two separate narrators and seeing the story from their points of view. Definitely buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!!

K.B. · November 11, 2024

I really enjoyed this book. Grabs you doesn’t let go

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun YA thriller

Aaron Fortin, a new student and secret online influencer, arrives in town with a flashy and captivating persona. Crystal, part of a misfit group, senses his insincerity. As Aaron's true nature is revealed, he targets Crystal and manipulates her friends. Crystal must decide whether to protect her friends or succumb to Aaron's influence.I received an ARC of this book from Net Galley and this is my voluntary and unbiased review. It is currently available on Audible only, but is being released in October in physical and digital format.I requested this ARC because I absolutely love Adam Cesare's Clown in a Cornfield series, and will be reading the third one soon! Something I love about his writing is that he is not afraid to make YA gory, which is something I look for in thrillers. The opening scene of this book hooked me right away!! YA can be frustrating to read at times because the characters, teenagers mainly, are stupid. I did find there to be too much boring friendship dynamics for the first third of this book that probably could've been pared down. However, the premise of this was really fun and it was also a topical look at the power of social media in 2024.

Loved it!
