Scream for the Camera is a serial killer thriller combined with romance and the paranormal. Ettie and Mason must find a way to stop the Facebook Live Killer, a situation that could easily happen with today’s social media obsession and lack of privacy.

It was an entertaining, fast paced read. I struggled a little bit with the extremely short paragraphs that felt choppy and lacked a smooth flow.

A murder...broadcast for thousands to see...has just become a viral sensation.
A brutal, methodical murderer, known as the Facebook Live Killer, has cold-bloodedly killed vibrant, beautiful young women in front of the whole world. The heartless bastard streams the footage on Facebook Live. The latest killing stuns the island of Martha's Vineyard. Known for its sun, sand, and sea, the vacation paradise hasn't seen a murder in over ten years.
Now the residents fear a murderer lives among them...taunting them...terrified this is only the beginning. For Massachusetts State Police Detective, Lieutenant Mason Conrad, the case couldn't have come at a worst possible time. His life is in the midst of an upheaval. Newly divorced, he is heavy in debt with a child to raise. But he knows the clock is ticking. Someone who blatantly kills in this manner won't stop.
Moving to the island five years ago, Ettie Harwell came with secrets. Secrets she had hoped never to reveal. Then, the haunting dreams returned. Night after night, visions pull her back into the world she'd prayed she'd never have to face again. The murders have thrown Mason and Ettie together, plunging them into, not only the Dark Web but a dark world.

Just WOW!!! Colleen Connally has branched out to a new genre and it is amazing!!
I can see something like this become reality with the way the world is with electronics and being live online for every little thing. its scary. This novel is fast pace and very engaging. For a debut into this genre the author has smashed it out for me. I do hope there are more of these to come as I will definitely be reading them.
I loved how scared and paranoid it made me feel about my own webcam! I'm not going to give any of the plot away other than we have a bit of romance, murder, paranormal and criminal investigations.
Well developed characters and plot that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

I received a free copy from AXP Books and this is my honest voluntary review.

Oh my gosh!! What an amazing book. I couldn’t put it down for fear something would happen that I might miss😳! I received this book as an arc from the author. I couldn’t believe my luck. This is the best thriller paranormal story I’ve read in quite some time. The characters are wonderful and engaging. The story itself is right out of Twilight Zone. I very highly recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal or thriller or crime stories. Wonderful read!

I really enjoyed this storyline and found it very easy to follow. It is also not the usual type of book that I read but am glad that it came up next on my list/ Also I did not know that Jerri Hines wrote this kind of books as I am familiar with her civil war series which I thoroughly enjoyed and always was waiting for the next book. I am delighted with this book also and will look into the others that I see she has written. She is a great writer and am glad to have found this book.

This was an interesting book, that highlight the risks of social media and the way we so willingly gave up all our life's little details to virtual strangers.

Lieutenant Mason Conrad it's a good character, and Ettie is intriguing. The story is well-paced and easy to read. An interesting new series.

Colleen Connally tried a new genre and came out looking like a pro. Her Facebook Live Killer is a contemporary theme. Scream for the Camera is a powerful novel with strong characters and a spectacular story.

This story is so good with realistic qualities that could be a part of today's news. That makes it even more frightening in my opinion. This is a compelling read that is difficult to put down.

I received this book from authorsxp for free and am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Scream for The Camera is a great thriller with a paranormal twist that will keep you in suspense. From the first page you are drawn into this unnerving story. It is a scary take on how social media can take our lives in a nightmarish spiral. This novel is a page-turner and I am definitely looking forward to the next in the series.

I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review.
