Easy Prey

By: Catherine Lo

Narrated by: Nick Mondelli, Elizabeth Cottle, Jack Meloche

Only three students had access to a teacher’s racy photos before they went viral. There’s Mouse, a brainy overachiever so desperate to escape his father and go to MIT that he would do almost anything, legal or not. Then there’s Drew, the star athlete who can get any girl’s number - and private photos - with his charm but has a history of passing those photos around. And finally, there’s Jenna, a good-girl-turned-rebel after her own shocking photos made the rounds at school last year, who is still waiting for justice.

All three deny leaking the photos, but someone has to take the fall. This edgy whodunit tackles hot-button issues of sexting and gossip, and will have listeners eagerly awaiting the final reveal.

That ending!

Holy unbelievable ending, Batman.

Three students see Ms. Bailey’s naked pictures. At least one shares them. The suspects: Jenna’s whose topless pictures went viral last year; Drew, the obnoxious jock with a history of requesting nude pictures from girls; nerdy computer whiz Mouse.

Catherine Lo created three complicated characters who were both frustrating and endearing. Glimpses into their home lives show even more. EASY PREY is a slow burn which at times left me wondering if the story would be a letdown. Every detail is important, leading to a shocking twist that, looking back, should have been right in front of my eyes.

Lo seamlessly weaves in conversations about misogyny, privilege and victim blaming through Jenna’s experiences, never once making EASY PREY feel like a cautionary tale or *message* book.

If you enjoy psychological thrillers, grab EASY PREY and enjoy the ride.
