Sixteen-year-old Paris Secord's (aka DJ ParSec) career--and life--has come to an untimely end, and the local music scene is reeling. No one is feeling the pain more than her shunned pre-fame best friend, Kya, and Paris's chief groupie, Fuse. But suspicion trumps grief, and since each suspects the other of Paris's murder, they're locked in a high-stakes game of public accusations and sabotage.
Everyone in the ParSec Nation (DJ ParSec's local media base)--including the killer--is content to watch it play out, until Kya and Fuse discover a secret: Paris was on the verge of major deal that would've catapulted her to superstar status on a national level, leaving her old life (and old friends) behind. With the new info comes new motives. New suspects. And a fandom that shows its deadly side. As Kya and Fuse come closer to the twisted truth, the killer's no longer amused. But murdering Paris was simple enough, so getting rid of her nobody-friends shouldn't be an issue...

Had to quit the audiobook, even with Bahni Turpin. 3 narrators do each of the 3 main characters, Bahni as Paris was amazing of course, and Kya was fine, but the narrator for Fuse gave line readings like she had never read a book in her life. She grouped the wrong words together, rendering anything from her unlistenable. How her line readings made it past an editor in a production with Bahni I can't fathom. The book itself was an interesting idea but could have been edited down by about 100 pages. The dark web fandom was an interesting idea that went cartoonish. Didn't find it as compelling or as zippy as Fake ID, though he built more complex characters here.
