Digital Deceptions: A YA Thriller Where Every Click Could Be Your Last What starts as a game could end their lives... Zoe, Mia, Leo, and their friends never expected their #DailySnapChallenge--a fun photo scavenger hunt--to go viral. But when their posts explode online, they're thrust into a world of fame, fans, and relentless pressure. Thousands of followers, trending hashtags, and adrenaline-pumping clout... until the first threat arrives. "You started this. Now you'll pay." The anonymous account @ShadowSnaps begins taunting them with eerie photos: their homes, their secrets, even their bedrooms filmed in the dead of night. Then Zoe's sister, Lila, is kidnapped live on camera, trapped in a decaying warehouse rigged to explode. To save her, the group must outsmart a faceless enemy who knows their every move--while the internet watches, hungry for drama. As the stakes skyrocket, so do the questions: Who is ShadowSnaps? A jealous classmate? A vengeful teacher? Or someone far closer? Why are their followers cheering for their downfall? Can they trust anyone--even each other? Diving into a maze of hacked accounts, coded messages, and deadly traps, the friends uncover a conspiracy led by Jenna, a quiet tech genius they never saw coming. But Jenna isn't acting alone.
