close your eyes and count to ten by lisa unger

A fun and fast paced mystery that is classic Lisa Unger. I love the setting and plot and pacing. Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the ALC. A group of internet influencers at an extreme game of hide and seek on a secluded island experiencing a hurricane. Pretty intense!! 

Maverick is a Logan Paul/Mr Beast type, not a great person but seemingly in love with his partner at work and in life, Angeline. He is 51% owner of the company, between the CFO Alex, Angeline, and Hector they own the rest. They have an offer to sell to HBO and to keep involved. He has his haters, a group of moms against Maverick who have kids who have gotten hurt and killed imitating his tricks. Also there are questions surrounding a missing former guest/influencer Chloe. 

We are also following Adele, who is a small time fitness influencer and mother of 2. Her husband split a few years ago and is on the run from the FBI having defrauded millions. 

There are other interesting characters in the game and good voice acting on each to tell them apart. 

I appreciated the setting and pacing of the book, good reveals all the way through. It is a fun mystery with unreliable narrator, some open ended questions at the end, and love and life to root for. I liked the setting of the mysterious island and combining the culture of influencers, their lifestyle and what is real and how they need to curate their image.

This is a fast, fun audiobook for mystery and thriller lovers.
