Love. Obsession. Jealousy. Murder.
No one knows what happened to pop icon Eric Thorn. His Twitter account? Frozen. His cell phone? Cracked and bloody, buried in the snow.
Agoraphobic fangirl Tessa Hart knows the truth, but she's finally left her #EricThornObsessed days behind. She has no intention of ever touching her Twitter app again. But Snapchat... That's safer, right?
After months of living under the radar, Tessa emerges from hiding, forced to face the deadly consequences of her past. But in the interrogation room, answers only lead to more questions in the pulse-pounding conclusion to the Follow Me Back duology

What made me pick this book up: 

Uh, I read the first one and it was amazing. 

What did I like about the cover: 

I like how it still ties in with the first one. It has a female person standing on the front, with her face scribbled out. But it's scribbled out with the same blue sparkly color like on the first book. 

I like how it represents Tessa and her not wanting to be seen. It matches well.

What made me read this book:

Freaking cliffhanger ending of the first one. And I had to wait a little bit too, and I finished the first one and I was like I NEED THE SECOND BOOK NOW. 

Well we had requested it both on Edelweiss and on Netgalley and we were denied for both. So I was really sad and thought I had to wait until freaking June. Well the publisher emailed Jenn and asked if she wanted a copy for review, and of course, yes. 

What did I like the most: 

It was a lot like the first one, in a way that you had no idea what the f was going on. It was written really well, and had you on the edge of your seat. 

Of course it was written well in a way that you didn't know whodunnit until the author wanted you to. I think that's one of the best things about her books that I've read. It honestly keeps you guessing, and every time you think you have it figured out, you really don't. So it makes you keep wanting to read more and more.

And of course it was one of those WAIT WHAT moments. The whole thing was definitely a mystery and also very thrilling.

I can't say too much without giving the book away, but the characters were still written well, and the story was amazing.

Let's just say that a certain someone, who you never thought would, actually saved Tessa in the end. 

What didn't I like: 

I still feel like after everything, Tessa was still so naive. I mean, I can't say what I would do in the same situation, but honestly, after everything wouldn't you think maybe you should stop and actually think about what is happening, and who to trust?

I was mad about the "who" but I guess it ended up fitting all together anyway.

Would I read the rest of the series/more from this author?

I do want to read more by this author. This was the conclusion to this duology, so we're done with Tessa now. But I know I want to read more books by the author.

This one was definitely worth the wait, it was just as good as the first one!
