Molly Sullivan is used to sharing intimate details of her life with millions of followers. A thirty-one-year-old single mom, she has built a career out of fearless posts about parenthood and dating. But when Molly shares a photo of her new fiancé, Scott, she is shocked by his negative reaction. For the sake of their relationship, Molly agrees to remove the post and keep Scott and his ten-year-old daughter out of her social media spotlight.
But it’s too late, someone has already recognized him. Liv Barrett is certain Scott’s the man who killed her sister and disappeared with her infant niece nine years ago. The police don’t believe her, so Liv takes matters into her own hands. Driving cross-country to Colorado, Liv uses Molly’s social media posts to orchestrate “accidental” meetings, slowly gaining her trust. Meanwhile, newlywed Molly begins to unpack boxes in her new home and discovers her husband has been lying about his past.
While Molly and Liv uncover secrets that have been buried deep for almost a decade, they have no idea that someone else saw the photo of Scott–someone who poses a threat more dangerous than either of them can imagine. Someone who is watching them from the shadows.

Thank you Blackstone Publishing for my copy of The Followers by Bradeigh Godfrey, in exchange for my honest review. This title published August 29, 2023.
The Followers is an entertaining psychological thriller that delves into the tumultuous world of the influencer culture and the complexities of “relationships” people create with celebrities. With a skillful narrative, the author challenges the boundaries between truth and facade, while exposing the lengths individuals will go to maintain their online personas. The exploration of the secrets hidden from even the closest loved ones adds an extra layer of tension.
This was a fun read and my new favourite by this author. It was a story that resonated with me personally, being in the influencer space and opened my eyes to the good, bad and even ugly of social media.
I am definitely looking forward to what she comes out with next.
My Rating: 5/5
Happy Reading,
