Rodney thinks he is a true ladies man on the internet. He is also a sociopath. He spends his days talking to women on social media and wooing them with his internet prowess. Except most women are not impressed. When he meets Abby on a site he decides immediately that she is the one for him. Abby however, doesn’t see it that way. When she kindly turns him down, Rodney takes matters into his own hands. He kidnaps Abby to teach her the consequences of refusing his advances. Over the next twenty-four hours, Abby learns a new definition of pain and suffering. Using conventional tools as well as some homemade devices, Rodney will stop at nothing to get his point across. What will Abby do to keep from becoming Hacked?
Extremely dark and super graphic. The audiobook is very poorly and cheaply done so read the book as opposed to listening to it.
I'm extremely paranoid about the Internet and personal information. I'm more so after this story. The level of insecurity and cruelty is mind boggling!
Hacked was horror-inducing on many levels. The ease with which Rodney used the internet to find information about the girls was frightening and will surely make me think twice about every friend request that comes across. The things he did to Jenny were terrifying and made me cringe more than once. I have come to expect the savage brutality that comes in Miller's books, but he always seems to shock me again and again when I read a new one. Hacked was no different. I liked the way he made my pulse race with each scene of terror. The things that happened in the van to Abby and the others was insane. This book was chilling to the max. I am looking forward to reading Hacked Again.
Seriously amazing. I read it all in one sitting and I couldn't put it down. It took turns that I didn't expect. Tim really knows how to keep a reader hooked.
Hacked... as soon as I started this book, I told myself now I have got to be nice to those weirdos who private message me. Holy crap!
Once again, Tim Miller made my skin crawl and had me shuddering. His mind is this wicked, messed up, horror making factory. Where does he get this stuff. Just remind me to always answer his messages. Lol!
This book is twist and turns of gore and horror. Things you never thought of, happens to these victims at the hands of a sycophant. Why? Well, that's easy, they disrespected him by either not answering his message, or turning him down. With that, he goes and shows them just what happens to those who get on his bad side.
What happens in the van, stays in the van... maybe.
Bravo, Tim! I love how he give us the chance to see the horror from every characters pov. The writing flows, and you have to see what happens next. On to the next!
I LOVED this book and am DYING to know what happens to Abby in the sequel - Hacked Again!!! Tim Miller has a way of pulling his readers in and making them feel like they are watching a movie...not just reading a book. The action is right there from the very beginning and does not stop until the last page. There is pain, blood, guts, and so much more.
Tim Miller is becoming my favorite extreme horror author. I have not read a book by him that I have not LOVED!! When I finish one book - I am dying to get my hands on another one. This book is no different. It is a quick read because the story flows. There is no extra...you just jump right into the story and the action.
I highly recommend this book to any fans of horror!!! Tim Miller does not disappoint and will make you an instant fan of his style of storytelling!!!
This is the first Tim Miller book I have read and the story is seriously fucked up. I have read a number of extreme horror books but nothing comes close to this. At times I wondered if I wanted to continue reading it. At times I wondered what sort of person I am choosing to read it. In the end I just accepted it as something which is taking extreme violence to a new level. The torture scenes are nasty, and from the first chapter you know nothing is out of bounds. Probably the weakest part for me was how Erin only cared for herself throughout - but otherwise a superb roller-coaster of a story.
I have a sudden urge to up my social network settings to super private stealth mode LOL! Lesson #1 don't ignore anyone named Rodney. Lesson #2 look for mini vans. Lesson 3...Try to outrun wild hogs! Seriously some of these torture devices were wicked. Quite impressed and horrified. May only be 200 pages but so worth the read. Quite impressed with how much gore you can fit into 200 pages. Bravo Tim Miller
This book certainly makes you think about the information that is stored online about yourself, and what people can find out a out yourself...
Tim Miller is a firm favourite of mine. His way of writing and grade of gore and violence are brilliant. I have not had to turn my head away from a book yet... But, Tim has got close to it... Very close to it.
Between Hacked by Tim Miller and KIN by Kealan Patrick Burk,who in my opinion,are the best cannibal books to read in the horror genre of sorts.But word of caution do not eat anything,unless you have a cast iron stomach,to read something like this.
Completely forgot to review this when I read it, but I loved it!! I was a bit disappointed in the ending, but I guess that's because I'm one of those people who always sides with the bad guy :p I also kinda hated Abby? I can't be the only one... I'll definitely be reading more by this author!
Pretty damned accurate portrayal of a delusional incel who views himself as “basically a nice guy” while ripping people’s eyelids out.
The torture stuff was very underwhelming and felt very rushed and wasn’t very detailed or involved like you’d get in a Wade Garrett novel. Hacked was like “yup he ripped Jason’s testicles out and the guy breathed heavy and said ‘ow’”... oh ok. I was kinda hoping for some really over the top gratuitous gory detailed scenes with screaming that gets so intense it blows people’s voice boxes out and crazy inventive sadistic nonsense, but it was kinda meh.
The story itself was good. It’s exactly what you’d expect from the description. However, it needs a good comb through. There are a lot of mistakes in grammar, tense and spelling/word usage that take away from the story.
