The Fear by Natasha Preston
3.0

This one is hard for me to rate because I think the concept is so freaking crazy and relatable especially with the social media aspect.

The story follows a cast of high schoolers and suddenly a meme appears out of nowhere where you repost what you think is the scariest way to die and then it begins to happen in real life.

I liked the idea because it was definitely scary concept but I didn't like the characters whatsoever (which I could usually look past in thrillers) but I guess it was just insufferable in this one for some reason.

I also didn't enjoy that every chapter ended in shock when it didn't have to be? I did like the short chapters.
