Gripping, thrilling, and hard to put down, The Haters was another page turner by Robyn Harding! The Haters depicts the online hate and harassment that school counselor, Camryn Lane receives after her debut book is published. The Haters also has a book within a book as readers get excerpts from Camryn’s debut book “Burnt Orchid”.
Camryn knows that not every book is for every person. That her book will not be for everyone, but she is shocked and left reeling after reviewer, Ingrid Wandry, leaves her a very bad review. Accusations are made, more online hate and bad reviews come in as Camryn goes from being excited to being a wreck.
As Camryn tries to listen to her publishers, she is also desperate to find out why she is being targeted. She wants to clear up the personal accureviewsle those in her life begin to worry about her, her obsession with the reviews, and her actions. Will they stand by her, or will they distance themselves from the mess her life is becoming??????
I thought Robyn Harding did a great job showing all the emotions that Camryn was experiencing as she receives emails, text messages, bad reviews, etc. I thought Camryn’s reactions felt authentic while questioning some of her actions. As things become more tense and personal, I began to come up with my suspect list and theories.
This book is overflowing with tension, a sense of danger, unease, and moments of dread. It was also wonderfully written, perfectly paced and shocking. The Haters might begin with a bad review, but so many other things are at play in this book. This kept me on my toes turning the pages, fully invested in wanting to know how far things were going to go in this addictive book. Things get a little OTT in some parts, but I didn’t mind as I was enjoying the wild ride of a book that Robyn Harding wrote.
Gripping, tension filled, shocking and well thought out!
