3.5 rounded to 4 stars.
This was a very good audio narration, with multiple voices portraying the main characters.
Alex is a social media influencer, but when she celebrates 1 million followers, she ends up drunk. The next morning her social media has exploded based on her post criticizing a teen celebrity. Alex doesn't recall doing this, but knows it is possible. She turns to her husband Patrick, and also tries to reach her personal assistant, AC. AC and Patrick have never liked each other, and when AC doesn't respond to Alex, Alex starts to wonder what is actually happening.
Then a back story emerges. Who is AC, what is her background. Why does she want to hurt Alex? Or is it someone else she wants to hurt? All will be revealed, and secrets exposed.
As always, Kimberly Belle writes a good thriller. However, I thought the ending was a bit contrived.

I don't know how Kimberly Belle does it time after time but she has once again created an exciting psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, as you try to figure out what the heck is going on. I was immediately drawn into this story, a series of events that could totally happen in today's society, what with the social media world that so many people find themselves immersed in.
Alex is a social media influencer who finds herself exposed as something she is not, virtually overnight. Someone has basically hacked into her online persona and seems to be determined to ruin her. And just when you think that things can't get any worse for Alex and her family, well yep, they do.
I went back and forth between the characters, wondering who was causing the problems, who was the bad person, and who was telling the truth. It was interesting going back and forth between Alex, her husband, and her personal assistant, trying to figure out the connections and the drama between the characters.
The Personal Assistant will stun you and rock your world when you realize that someone can totally be destroyed by social media, having so much of your life out there in the world for all to see and manipulate. I highly recommend this thriller and I know you will not be disappointed when you read it. It was amazing!

3.75⭐️… Very entertaining audiobook, a little predictable, but the ending (past the build-up to action) was a letdown. I felt like it could have been wrapped up in another way that didn’t drag it out for little payoff.

Featuring ~ multiple 1st person POV, influencer, money guru, secrets, murder
Having 3 narrators was a good choice and they are Alex ~ our blogging influencer, Patrick ~ 2nd husband of Alex, famous TV money guru and AC ~ the personal assistant. As the chapters alternate we slowly learn more and more about each of them and some characters are not going to like what they learn about each other. None of the characters are particularly likable really. I thought the 12 year old twins had a bit more freedom than they should, or maybe I just have more of a smother parenting style.
I was very interested to see how it would all play out with AC. Especially who is she and where she disappeared to. I had my inklings and I was correct, but I'm not mad I figured things out. One thing though about the twins father
Overall, an enjoyable thriller that had some edge of the seat moments. There was a bit too much oversharing on social media for my liking, but that all led to the growth of Alex throughout the book.

Spoiler
I'm pretty sure the guy, Gary, that visited AC at the motel was their father because of the tooth comment and then it was said how he was in the slammer for car theft and it was briefly mentioned he was a getaway driver or something, but then it wasn't really confirmed, was it?Overall, an enjoyable thriller that had some edge of the seat moments.
