My name is Sophie Strong

and I sold my soul to a record company

For fans

For fortune

For a life I thought I wanted.

I sold out in the worst possible way

Leaving everything I loved behind.

Turning myself into someone I wasn’t

Just to watch the world turn itself on me.

Now the whole world hates me and I can’t escape them.

I can’t escape this.

And no matter how fast I run

Connor Driscoll always seems to find me.

all that’s left to do is become

INFAMOUS

I've had stories in my head since I was a child.  All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured my interest.  I'm a voracious reader, and have spent many hours in my life devouring books, therefore it's only fitting I should write a few myself!  

I've spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn't mean I'm pigeon-holed into one mold.  I've been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring.  As one of my students said to me once, "Life's too short to ignore the opportunities."   I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world.  I hope you enjoy it!

You never know what’s listening….

As a sales rep for SmartTech, the world’s largest home automation company, Cameron Caldwell’s job is to keep customers happy… and buying. That means the current bane of her existence is a rival company’s home AI device, the HomeTech Hub. Her customers want to use the HTH’s voice commands to control the electronics she’s selling them—and if she wants to keep selling to them, she needs to make sure that happens. Why can’t they just ask it the weather and be happy with that?

While attempting to get tech support for one of her clients, Cameron finds something strange in a HomeTech Hub and is immediately curious. Is there something about the product no one’s supposed to know? But when people start dying, she knows something far more complex is going on, and she’s determined to find out what the technology the whole world has let into their homes actually does.

As Cameron digs deeper into something she never thought would be possible, she starts to wonder what she’s gotten herself into… and whether she’ll be able to get out.

Rating: 4.5*

I like to mix things up every now and then and take a step back from my favourite genre of romance and indulge in a suspense/thriller read.  I needed a change when I got the opportunity to read this and I was not disappointed.

This book wove its story around the fact that technology is in every part of our lives and we rely on it so much but equally we are producing so much data around what we are doing at every moment online. But what happens if this could all be collected - the power it could wield for the person collecting it. It explores power beyond the big techs' data collection and the power they wield. 

Cameron is a sales rep for a home automation company who comes across devices that won't integrate as they should. Closer investigation reveals an extra chip in the devices. What Cameron quickly discovers is that those behind the chip have already killed once and won't hesitate to kill again to keep their secret and power. With the tech savvy behind the scenes, it doesn't look likely that anyone will get close enough to the killer, until Cameron starts to close in.

This was a book with present day relevance. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout and kept me guessing. There were plenty of twists and turns along the way that had me hooked and not wanting to put it down.
