Did you ever want to cast off, to sail into the sunset with someone you just met, a kindred spirit, a twin soul, leaving everything behind? It is possible in the virtual social world of the Internet, which can become a comfort zone you’ll never want to leave. You might, one day, want to meet that person with whom you have become strangely intimate. But reality is never as lovely as the dream. Be careful what you wish for…
A man and a woman - Seabee and Annika - hook up on a wannabe authors' site where they flirt, banter and play around. Just like you and me and everyone else these days. Don’t we all spend part of our day on the Internet? On a forum, a blog, Twitter or Face Book. It’s all innocent fun, isn’t it? But for Annika and Seabee it became a chilly reality. After having joked around openly about killing off their significant others, both their partners actually do die in what seems to be unrelated freak accidents – or are they? The dark realisation begins to dawn on the uneasy duo that their murderous joke fantasy has become all too dangerously real and that the deaths were no random accidents. Someone is watching them.
Seabee and Annika find out in a hurry that cyberspace makes strange bedfellows and, if it's not he or she who did it, then who has done the killings? The two team up to find out who has hijacked their fantasy and turned it into a frightening nightmare.
Join the endearingly mismatched would-be detective duo Annika and Seabee as they investigate the deadly mystery of how the seemingly innocent cybernetic world of two virtual strangers was hi-jacked and transformed by an unknown faceless killer into real-life hell, where “homicide” isn’t just a word highlighted harmlessly on a computer screen.
With more than a passing nod at the classic ‘Strangers on a Train’, Virtual Strangers is a darkly humorous, romantically witty-edged adventure that will take you into the deep, dark and sometimes deadly uncharted wilderness which lurks beyond the fringes of the strange and unpredictable netherworld that we casually call…CYBERSPACE.
Don’t read it if you don’t want to be jolted out of your comfort zone. Keep the lights on, change your password, use a pseudonym and never, ever give out personal information on the Internet…
Contains strong language
Virtual Strangers edition by Susanne O'Leary Ola Zaltin Romance eBooks
I just finished "Virtual Strangers" and I must say, I really liked it. It was very 21st century, with the two main characters meeting online, via a website for hopeful authors. People who have written books but haven't been published, using the site to try and get noticed, hoping that doing so will get them a publisher. Neither of the two is happy with their lives, mostly due to their significant others, and a joke about killing off each other's mates turns horribly real. At first each suspects the other of actually going through with it, but as things get worse, they begin to wonder who actually did it, and why. And where will it stop?I love how it's written in first person, switching between the two main characters, and how it's all in present tense. I figured out who the real villain was about halfway through the book, but trying to see when either of the main characters would actually figure it out kept the book interesting. A really good read.

Virtual Strangers edition by Susanne O'Leary Ola Zaltin Romance eBooks Reviews
This was a very interesting book in the way it was written. I would recommend this book to someone looking for a great mystery. I loved the characters and how they evolved throughout the story.
I can promise you I hated this book. Really truly hated it. There is nothing I liked about it but seeing that I was 100% finished with it. Three things that come to mind.
1. Predictable
2. Unrealistic
3. Entirely too long.
Will I read the next book in this series? Hell no.
I am online all the time, but this sure makes me stop and wonder. I really enjoyed reading this story, just when I thought I knew who did it, I was proven wrong. It made me wonder who I should trust.
This story grabbed hold of you and made you want to continue reading until you came to an end. I would suggest this book to anyone who doesn't mind the F words being in it once in a while.
This was a surprising book. When I first started reading it, I thought it was just so so, and expected that I might tire of it before I finished. But the more I read, the more I enjoyed the humor. Though I already realized who the villain was about half way through, not only did I enjoy the book to the end, but I also bought the next one by the same authors. It has a bit of mystery, a bit of romance, and a lot of fun. I saw it as a satire.
I very much enjoyed the first part of the book and the similarities to "Strangers on a Train". It was suspenseful and serious but the second half seemed rather silly. When Seebee, a guest at the estate in the Cotswolds goes back to the car to get Annika's laptop and is hit from behind, then shows up hours later and no one is concerned was a stretch for me. There had been three murders up to this point and no one is concerned?? An ok read for me.
I was first attracted to this book by the theme. It is so easy to develop really close relationships and to become addicted to various forums. A story based upon how everything can go so wrong when trust is placed in the wrong people is a plausible and fascinating premise.
I loved the writing style, alternating the two main character's first person narratives. It kept the story moving along at a very nice pace. I also enjoyed the character development of both, depicted through their reactions to each other as well as to individuals who populate both their real and virtual worlds.
The only criticism that I have is that the identity of the villain was way too obvious. Stronger red herrings and more subtle clues might have increased the suspense. However, I found that there were enough entertaining twists and characters, including the dogs, to keep me amused for a day.
If Susanne O'Leary and Ola Saltin wrote this as an experiment, I have to say it was a huge success. Their writing styles are as opposite as the characters they portray, and yet from the very outset, you can just feel the sexual tension between them and know they'll end up together.
Giving a review that discusses the plot is bound to be a spoiler , but suffice to say that it all turns hilariously farcical in an ending that pokes fun at more than one genre, and especially at the venue that starts the adventure, Authonomy (oooer...Authorspot, I mean).
If you've spent any time there, you'll laugh at the inside jokes. If you haven't, you'll still see the dynamic of any social networking venue. If you're a writer, you'll appreciate just what the twisted alter egos of many of us would do to get a traditional publishing deal.
This was one of the most entertaining reads I've had in a long time.
