Killstream

by Ayman Hamadeh

KILLSTREAM (Book 1 of Killstream Series)

Twelve people wake in steel cells in twelve different cities. Each one is wearing a collar wired to explode.

Then the screen turns on.

A masked host. A live audience. A single complete your task before the timer hits zero. Fail, and the collar fires. Try to escape, and the collar fires. Refuse, and the collar fires.

Round 1: steal a police car. Round 2: rob a bank. Round 3: sabotage your city's infrastructure. It escalates. It always escalates.

This is Killstream — a live-streamed death game broadcast on the dark web to millions. Every second is watched. Every decision is bet on. The audience doesn't just observe. They wager. They comment. They update the odds. They cheer when the collars go off.

The FBI knows it's real. They can't stop it. They tried last season. Ten people died.

Now it's Season 2. Twelve cities. Twelve collars. 4.1 million viewers.

And the tasks are getting worse.

Season 3 is loading . . .

About the author

I write dark, intense fiction. The kind that crawls under your skin and stays there. Psychological thrillers, dark fantasy, and the occasional story that doesn't fit neatly into any box. But I don't like staying in one lane. I write a bit of everything, and I go wherever the story takes me.

What I care about most is making every page earn your time. I want you hooked from the first line and still thinking about the ending days later. That's the standard I hold myself to.

If you're here, you probably like stories with teeth. Pull up a chair. I think we'll get along.

Quite frankly this book is just plain fucked up lol

[Renea Berry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall I really did enjoy reading this. Us, as the readers, are just as twisted as the people who actively contributed to and watched the Killstream. We kept reading about the horrors these people experienced like a train wreck you just can’t peel your eyes away from. I feel like that aspect alone made everything slightly more immersive. There were very minor plot holes (correct me if I’m wrong) with a few of the characters returning after they had already been killed off. But other than that, I saw no problems with this book and will definitely recommend to my horror loving friends!

Saw Meets Nerve Meets....

SAW meets NERVE meets the current situation.

I wanted to change my gears on genres and see if something could grab my attention. And it did. With a time release bomb around my neck. I was semi annoyed that I was right about the ending which makes me believe the second book will be an explosive "just kidding" and I will rave.

The writing is thought out. The repetition. Eerie.

Definitely a great read.

I loved the concept of the book. I really wanted to like it but it just fell very flat for me. - also did Alec not grab the air freshener from the police car in the first round? & Then in the last few chapters it kept saying he got it from a birthday party before he was grabbed.
