Would you help, would you run, or would you just watch?

When a young woman is brutally assaulted by two men on the subway, her cries for help fall on the deaf ears of onlookers too terrified to get involved, her misery ended with the crushing stomp of a steel-toed boot. A cell phone video of her vicious murder, callously released on the Internet, its popularity a testament to today’s depraved society, serves as a trigger, pulled a year later, for a killer.

Emailed a video documenting the final moments of a woman’s life, entertainment reporter Aynslee Kai, rather than ask why the killer chose her to tell the story, decides to capitalize on the opportunity to further her career. Assigned to the case is Hayden Eldridge, a detective left to learn the ropes by a disgraced partner, and as videos continue to follow victims, he discovers they were all witnesses to the vicious subway murder a year earlier, proving sometimes just watching is fatal.

Ratings and reviews

Waste of the time. Not recommend. Looks like the author into unnecessary dirty/bloody scences. Made superheros from a killer, loses if timestemp/ logic/connection/ppl act not adequately to own characters. The end is unreal, trustless. This the book when you read only to know the end and through away. Maybe suits for teenagers. No caching- eye chatacter. But I definitely like authtor's language. Can't believe it's a bestseller. Specially 'harmful' for IT- connected audience.

I quite enjoyed the book. The romance angle was a bit cheesy and unnecessary. The end felt rushed and a bit weird, as the character's personality suddenly did a 180° in the opposite direction. Having said that, the plot is well thought out, and there is enough happening to make the entire story intriguing enough to read.

This book was a very good read till the very end. It appeared like the author was struggling to find a finish to the book and just threw together an ending that really disappointed.
