Knives Out meets One of Us is Lying! In this paperback original thriller a group of famous TikTokers find themselves turning on each other when one member of the group turns up dead at their beachfront Malibu mansion.
35 million followers. One dead body.
The six teenagers who make up the Hype House seem to have it all. A beach front Malibu mansion, millions of TikTok followers, model good looks, and sponsorship deals up to $30,000 per post. Everything’s pretty much a Gen-Z paradise. Except that one member of the house has just turned up dead in the infinity pool. And the rest of them are suspects.
When the group TikTok account starts posting cryptic messages about the murder, the police limit their investigation to the members of the house. Now old joke videos are filed as evidence and past rivalries start to look like motives.
As investigators dig into these influencers’ lives beyond their glossy internet personalities, they discover all five had reasons their lives would’ve been easier with Sydney Reynolds dead. But only one of them killed her.
Underlined is a line of totally addictive romance, thriller, and horror paperback original titles coming to you fast and furious each month. Enjoy everything you want to read the way you want to read it.

This was a lot of fun.
Killer Content definitely shows the obsession with social media we have and not just the good parts. There are a group of six teenagers living together in a house in Malibu. Gwen, Sydney, Cami, Kat, Beau, and Tucker are all TikTok stars. They decided to see if they could increase their following (and income) by living together for a summer. They post group videos and have parties. It’s all fun until one of them ends up dead in the pool. Sydney was rich and popular. Her twin sister, Brooklyn, didn’t have the same star power. When the group decided that Brooklyn couldn’t move in, Sydney got pissed an left. A couple days later, her body was found at the house. Each of the kids becomes a suspect in the murder. Videos were being posted from their account, so it had to be one of them. While they are friends, they also turn on each other at times. No one knows who to trust.
The pacing of the book was great and it was hard to put down. I really enjoyed reading this one.
I gave this 4 stars. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my earc.
