Good story overall, quick read and good for this Valentine’s Day Season. The story follows social media influencer Kolby, as he agreed to a valentines date with one of his 1.2 million followers. When the night takes an unexpected turn, how will it turn out for Kolby and his date. If you’re looking for a quick read for this month’s holiday, I’d recommend.

Only short but good

I enjoyed reading this short story about an influencer. Things didn't go as planned with his Valentine's date though. Quite the thriller.
