The Followers
by Bradeigh Godfrey
Read Completed 9/3/23 | 3.25 stars
I picked this one up having read IMPOSTER by Bradeigh Godfrey and really enjoying it. I'd say this one was a bit of a different tone, but I still had an enjoyable reading experience! I wasn't sure how it was going to end and it was a bit different plot than a lot of the other thrillers I've read recently.
While the plot felt different, some things did fall victim to a few thriller tropes, including the ending. SPOILER:The cop did it. Sigh. The only POV switch is to the anonymous villain's POV, which I didn't really love and didn't think it needed. I would have rather found out more information on who this mystery person was as the book went on instead of seeing their POV a few times throughout the book.
It was also called THE FOLLOWERS and I didn't really feel like it was about that at all...? I figured it would be a thriller about a crazed stalker or impersonator or one of the followers that was going to wreak havoc, not just that Liv found Molly (and subsequently Sam) from Molly's social media. It was important to the plot but it wasn't as important as I thought it would be.
Ultimately, the ending just didn't really resonate with me. I didn't like who the villain was, it didn't really come together for me, and I didn't really end up caring about any of the characters enough. It was a fine enough read and I'm sure others will like it, but it didn't really do it for me.
