Ghost Followers: Be Careful Who Follows You

**In the digital age, everyone is watching you. But what happens when your followers physically follow you?**Seventeen-year-old Maya Chen has mastered the art of influence. With 2.5 million followers across her platforms and brand deals that pay more than her parents' jobs combined, she's living the dream that millions of teens aspire to. Her carefully curated content-perfect sunsets, flawless outfits, and glimpses into her seemingly ideal life-has made her the envy of her high school and the darling of advertisers worldwide.But everything changes when Maya begins seeing her followers in real life.At first, it's just glimpses-a username on a t-shirt, a familiar face in class that vanishes when she looks again. Then someone starts posting photos of her taken through her bedroom window. Private messages reveal details about her life that she's never shared online. And most disturbingly, a mysterious account called @ghost_watcher threatens to expose the truth behind her perfect posts.As the boundary between Maya's digital and private worlds disintegrates, she discovers she's not alone. Other influencers are experiencing the same phenomenon, but they're disappearing one by one, their accounts going eerily silent. The only person who believes her is Ezra, a former friend who disappeared from social media after his own viral moment went catastrophically wrong.Together, Maya and Ezra uncover a terrifying truth: an experimental algorithm is analyzing influencers' private behaviors with frightening accuracy, then feeding this information to followers who become increasingly obsessed. And Maya's metrics are off the charts.When her private information is leaked online, Maya finds herself at the center of a social media revolution that quickly escalates into a national security crisis. With crowds gathering outside her home and a countdown clock ticking toward the release of her most personal secrets, Maya must make an impossible choice: disappear into witness protection with a new identity, or face the consequences of her digital life head-on.In a world where influence has become more valuable than truth, Maya discovers that the most dangerous algorithm might be the one that knows exactly who you're pretending to be.
