John Faubion’s FRIEND ME Kindle HDX Giveaway!

My thoughts:  So my thoughts on this book, are all over the place.  The premise of the book is a near thriller genre, where you think you will be scared reading the book, but the book didn't live up to that premise.  First, it was a slow start, kinda creepy start actually, then when it did pick up it was a bit scattered.  I think my whole thought can be summarized by saying, the book wrapped up too easily and quickly in the last 50 pages or so.  A great idea, just a bit weak delivery.  Still it was worthy of 4 stars, because it was a great idea.  
This book was provided for review purposes only, no payment was received for this review.
Thank you to the Litfuse Group for allowing me to be a part of this book tour.  

About the book: When a lonely wife and her frustrated husband each secretly pursue companionship online, neither dreams that a real woman is behind their virtual creations, threatening their marriage---and their lives.
Scott and Rachel's marriage is on the brink of disaster. Scott, a businessman with a high-pressure job, just wants Rachel to understand him and accept his flaws. Rachel is a lonely housewife, desperate for attention and friendship. So she decides to create a virtual friend online, unaware that Scott is doing the exact same thing. As Rachel desperately tries to re-create a friendship with a friend who has passed, Scott becomes unfaithful and is torn between the love for his wife and the perfection of his cyber-girlfriend. But neither realizes that there's a much larger problem looming . . .
Behind both of their online creations is Melissa, a woman who is brilliant---and totally insane. Masquerading as both friend and lover, Melissa programmed a search parameter into the virtual friend software to find her perfect man, but along the way she forgot to specify his marriage status. And Scott is her ideal match. Now Melissa is determined to have it all---Scott, his family, and Rachel's life.
As Melissa grows bolder and her online manipulations transition into the real world, Scott and Rachel figure out they are being played. Now it's a race against time as Scott and Rachel fight to save their marriage, and their lives, before it's too late.
In today's digital age, the Internet presents all kinds of opportunities to test our personal boundaries, and this exciting and suspenseful story raises important questions about the ethics of virtual relationships. Friend Me will open your eyes to a new---and terrifying---moral dimensions and how they play out in the real world.
