Todd Travis is recommended for fans of Dean Koontz, James Patterson, and Stephen King.
Not going to lie, it was the Stephen King recommendation that made me wary. I've hated most of the King works I've read. Don't get me wrong, they're very well-written. I'm just not a fan of his stories.
That being said...Todd Travis is an author to have on your radar.

A geek. A fat chick. A slow learner. A psycho suicide girl. A wannabe criminal. Five outcast high school kids with nothing in common except that nobody liked them. Five losers with nothing to look forward to but torment and harassment every day; nothing, that is, until they were introduced to the game.
SEX, MARRY, KILL.
An online game that would change their lives and give them power over others. They could do anything they wanted, sleep with anyone they wanted to, kill anyone who got in their way. Their every fantasy fulfilled. But at a mortal price. They soon discover that game will consume and destroy them unless they find some way to stop it before it’s too late.

It's been over a year (I think) since I read this book. I rated it at 5 stars and mentioned enjoying the pace and humor in my review.
Most of the reviews are in the same vein. It's very well written and holds just the right amount of terror.
I definitely recommend clicking here and getting your own copy.

A deranged serial killer roams wintry rural Nebraska targeting little girls with a demented purpose that no one can fathom.
Special Agent EMMA KANE, a former DC cop and damaged goods now with the FBI, is assigned to baby-sit burned out profiler JACOB THORNE, once the best in the business but now said to have lost his edge, as they both fly to Nebraska to catch this maniac.
Thorne is erratic, abrasive and unpredictably brilliant, but what he and Kane find in the heartland is much more than anyone bargained for, especially when the Iceman challenges them personally, where it hurts most.
The clock is ticking and a little girl’s life is on the line.
And maybe even more with that, once they find out what he’s really up to.

I was basically at a loss for words when I finished this book. My review on Goodreads was full of shock.
I literally just finished this book (like, just clicked through the last page)
Oh my God.
Sonofabitch.
Freaking awesome. More than one WTF Moment I didn't see coming. Travis is definitely a writer to watch.
I wasn't all that eloquent. But that's what this book did to me. If you're interested in this author, do NOT skip this book.
