Summary

Bestselling YA author Melinda Salisbury exposes the dark underbelly of new AI technology in this gripping thriller. 
Freya desperately wants to be a famous influencer, like her former best friend, Hye-jin, but no matter what she does, her posts flop. Until Freya’s stepdad arrives home with AdelAIDE, a home-assistant robot. 
It quickly becomes clear that AdelAIDE is much more powerful than other home-assistant technology, and the thing AdelAIDE wants most of all is to help her new owners. Especially Freya. 
AdelAIDE has lots of ideas to help Freya boost her profile and get more likes and followers. But when Freya starts to follow AdelAIDE’s more radical advice, things quickly spiral out of control … 
The suspense and psychological thrill of ADELAIDE are heightened by the dystopian setting, where the desire for social acceptance drives the narrative. The exploration of teenage pressure in the digital age is both chilling and thought-provoking, making this a standout in the genre of YA thrillers. 
For fans of Scarlett St. Clair (A Game of Gods), Allison Saft (Gathering Dark, The), Darcy Coates (The Vengeful Dead), C.N. Crawford (Court of Night), and Sharon Cameron (The Light in Hidden Places).
