Jess's mum is murdered by the magpie man when she was only seven years old. Ten years have passed and he's commited many more murders but the police are no closer to catching him. Jess decides to use social media to try and catch the magpie man before he strikes again.

The story was intriguing from the start and i felt i was able to connect wth Jess and really feel the emotional rollercoaster her life is. Some of her plans are a little questionable which bothered me a little. I personally wasn't able to figure out who the magpie man was so was surprised by who he was.

This was a great book.


Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Interesting storyline but for me it went on a little too long and just didn’t grab my attention enough. I did read to the end and would look for other books by the author.

I particularly liked the use of social media in this book, in a world of reality stars and people constantly posting on social media you could imagine this happening. 

Jess’s mother was killed by the Magpie Man when she was seven, she was his first victim but not his last  and he has never been caught.


Jess is now 17 and auditions to be a reality star, they are looking for people who they can film for one day of the week on YouTube. The show is about Real Lives With Twists.” Jess hopes that by telling the story about her mothers death, this will help someone to remember a vital clue or draw the killer out. But who is watching her? 

I couldn’t put this book down, I hadn’t worked out the identity of the Magpie Man, so the ending was a complete surprise for me.

This whodunnit made me tear up at one point. The interaction between Jess and her friends is so touching. 

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review.

A very well written scary movie book.the characters draw you in.had me hooked right from the start.a book you cant put down as you need to keep reading until the explosive end.twists and turns to keep you guessing.

Unfortunately this book wasnt for me. I was expecting something completely different. So it's no fault of the author. Possibly my own misconception.

super interesting premise and story! reminds me of the YouTubers who do look into real crime stories and how that influences actual crimes. the actual document seemed to be full of typos which made it hard to read, however.
