À propos de cet audio
From the producers of Smile and The Outsider comes a chilling psychological thriller starring Isabela Merced (Alien, Superman Legacy) and Christopher Briney (The Summer I Turned Pretty).
Aaron Fortin is new in town. He drives a brand-new Acura—a gift from his parents for uprooting him in the middle of senior year. Showing up on his first day at the local public school in that nice of a car? He knows he’ll never blend in, and he doesn’t care to try. The car, the new kid mystique, he can use all that....
Crystal Giordano carpools to the same school in her friend Trevor’s beat-up van. In the van along with Crystal and Trevor are Paul, Harmony, and Gayle. Crystal’s technically part of their misfit group, but most of the time, she feels like she’s the only one who doesn’t fit.
When Aaron Fortin sits at their lunch table, Crystal can see he’s not who he says he is. But how big of a fraud is Aaron Fortin? Crystal clumsily exposes Aaron and becomes his target, falling victim to his insidious campaign to erase her. Only then does she discover who he truly is—and it’s so much worse than she thought.
As her friends begin to follow him one by one, Crystal wonders if she can protect them or if his influence is just too strong.

Stuff like vlogging, YouTube algorithms, Instagram posting, Makeup Tutorial TikTokking, and clique-y teenagers living their lives huddled around smartphones are absolutely integral to the book. Adam Cesare injects frighteningly relatable detail into a harrowing story about a teenaged psychopath moving into a new community and wreaking havoc. Cesare won't ever win any writing awards, but the story is serviceable with a good deal of attention paid to generating tension.
Unfortunately, Audible Originals Inc. overproduces the audiobook: inserting intermittent sound effects and musical interludes. The performances from Brittany Pressley (reading the prologue), Isabela Merced (reading from the POV of generic angsty highschooler 'Crystal Giordano'), and Christopher Briney (portraying the chilling 'Aaron Fortin') are well above average.. but that radioplay mindset makes the book sound like an attempt to present an old-timey drama instead of a Psychological Thriller.
In toto, 'Influencer' merits 6.5 stars out of 10. Speaking as a Physician, I can appreciate the authentic attempt to depict Aaron's psychopathology (recognizing that it's over-the-top). Speaking as a Father, I found the description of modern-day High School depressing (Oh, God.. I hope this isn't accurate).
The recording is worth a download if you can get it off of the 'Plus' menu.. but save your Credit for something else should they ask for one.
Enjoyable Manipulative Sociopath Tale
