#Murdertrending by Gretchen McNeil - 4 Stars

 In the near future, citizens can watch the executions of the country's worst criminals through an app devised by someone only known as The Postman. The prisoners are held on what is called Alcatraz 2.0. 

Dee wakes up in a haze on the floor of one of the torture rooms on Alcatraz 2.0. Dee knows that she did not commit the murder she was accused of and will do everything it takes to survive on Alcatraz 2.0. 

I love dystopian novels and this one sounded really good. I wasn't sure about it at first because it started with a bunch of hashtags and clips that you'd see on social media, but it turned out that these clips were just a couple of pages at the beginning of the book and the rest was normal text. 

The ideas of how the "prisoners" were to die was pretty gruesome. The book did take a few different twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. Overall, it was a pretty good book. The ending was a bit of a cliff hanger, but I'm not sure if I'll read the other 2 in the series or not.
