Follow Me (Amateurs, #2)

by Sara Shepard

'A classic whodunit with a contemporary edge' Cecily Von Ziegesar, praise for The Amateurs

Everyone knows Chelsea Dawson. Day and night, her tens of thousands of followers on Instagram watch her every move. So when she goes missing from the sunny beachside town of Lafayette, it makes headlines.

The police are searching everywhere for her kidnapper, but when eighteen-year-old Seneca Frazier sees Chelsea's picture, she knows instantly who took her. Chelsea looks exactly like her friend Aerin Kelly's murdered sister - and Seneca's own mother, who was killed five years ago.

Seneca's suspicions are confirmed when the killer contacts her, threatening to hurt Chelsea if Seneca goes to the police with what she knows. Seneca makes the only move she can, reaching out to Aerin and Maddox and Madison Wright, her friends from Case Not Closed, an amateur crime-solving community. Together they go to Lafayette to work the case, to save Chelsea, and to bring the killer to justice.

But the killer has a plan of his own. He wants Seneca and her friends in Lafayette, but he wants them to play by his rules. One wrong step could mean the end for Chelsea - or the Amateurs.

The second book in the thrilling new crime series from bestselling author Sara Shepard.

Thank you to Disney Hyperion for sending me a physical ARC in exchange for my honest review.


MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ AMATEURS

Follow me starts off a few months after Amateur ended. Seneca, Maddox, Aerin, and Madison have all gone their separate ways, but are still affected by what happened in the first book and are constantly on the lookout for Brett.


Aerin is off in Europe trying to forget everything that happened. Seneca is back in Maryland is working for the Parking Authority. Maddox is still running and preparing for college, and Madison is still Madison.

All of them are brought back together when Maddox gets a letter detailing information only the killer would know from Amateurs and when he also posts a tip on Case Not Closed involving information from a missing person case that has just happened.

The crew meets back up at the Jersey Shore in order to find Brett and the missing woman.


This book is even more of a whirlwind than the Amateurs was. Seneca, Maddox, Aerin, and Madison have no real idea where to start things, but they know they have to find Brett before he hurts Chelsea like he has all of his past victims. With Brett taunting all of them at every chance he can which leaves them shaken up. It's hard to figure out who he has morphed himself into now and how exactly he is staying hidden in plain sight.
They obviously can't go to the police, because they have no real physical evidence and no idea who he is now.
With them being on their own and in a town where they don't know anyone it's hard to get information from anyone besides Chelsea ex-boyfriend, who wants to clear his name and find her.
I loved this book even more than the first one and found myself falling for all of Brett's tricks just like the others were. I'm now so invested in all of these characters and don't want to see anything bad happen to them. Well besides Brett, but he is a type of evil genius that I never want to meet.

That ending I was not expecting that, and OMG! I need the next book now, how can you just end it like that.

P.S.
If any of Shepards novels are going to be made into a tv show can this one please be it!

This wasn't as good as the first one. But I guess the romance wasn't as messed up either. The mystery itself was good. Well sort of mystery. It was more psychological warfare. There was a bit of mystery though. I enjoyed the idea of the photocircle. I hadn't heard of that before. They really are amateurs though - they sort of just bungle along from one clue to the next. Aerin was still my favourite. I can't wait to find out what happens in the next one.
