This book made me question everything about the dark dark web! Spooky to the very last page - Krystal
Product Description
Once you’re online, there’s nowhere to hide

Is it paranoia – or is someone watching?

For years, Reagan Carsen has kept her life offline. No socials. No internet presence. No photos. Safe.

Until the day she stumbles on a shocking murder in a Sydney laneway. The victim looks just like her.

Coincidence?

As more murders shake the city and she’s increasingly drawn out from hiding, Reagan is forced to confront her greatest fear.

She’s been found.

A riveting psychological thriller drawn from true events, Dark Mode delves into the terrifying reality of the dark web, and the price we pay for surrendering our privacy one click at a time.

Industry Reviews
'Hold on tight because this heart-stopping page-turner will shake you to your core. With its bizarre crimes, explosive revelations, and unbearable tension, Dark Mode shatters our blithe acceptance of the online world in a nail-biting thriller that is unforgettable. Ashley Kalagian Blunt is a masterful storyteller who has ingeniously twisted fact with fiction to deliver an absolute cracker of a read. Honestly, you won't be able to put it down until you know who, when, where, how and why. Leave the light on, lock your door, and for god's sake, check your privacy settings.' -- Lyn Yeowart, The Silent Listener
'I tore through Dark Mode in one sitting. Ashley Kalagian Blunt brilliantly captures the violence of misogyny and how, like a carnivorous pitcher plant, it can swallow us whole. A smart, suspenseful, harrowing page-turner. You won't be able to put this book down.' -- Sarah Sentilles, author of Stranger Care
'Kalagian Blunt has spun a terrifying psychological thriller about the cost of being a woman when misogynists have increasingly sophisticated technology at their fingertips' * The Age *
