Goodreads Synopsis:
Would you Swipe to Die?
When the new craze takes over Bleak Haven High, Ava Wilson refuses to join in. As the niece of an infamous murderer, it’s the last thing she needs.
The mysterious website allows people to view their own ‘death’ – an AI generated version of their final slasher-movie-moments. But, when some of her classmates’ deepfakes are replicated in real life, Ava can either catch the killer…or be the next victim.
Review:
This book is creepy and thrilling. There were plot twists that kept me guessing. The ending was so surprising that I actually gasped when I read it. It’s also short at under 250 pages so it would be a perfect beach read!
Dead Fake is a creepy thriller!
