It sounds very complicated. Having read the preview of the book, I have a lot of questions. I'm trying to figure out who to believe!

This sounds like an immersive thriller about an actor who has this squeaky-clean exterior, but in reality, he is a repulsive criminal. Thanks for the enthralling review.

I like suspense thrillers. I like that it features the negatives of drug abuse. Thanks for the review.

This looks like a suspenseful and romantic novel. Hollywood definitely has its secrets, which can be seen in Blair and Cameron. I wonder how this murder mystery will turn out? Thanks for the review! :)

I'm looking forward to read this novel; definitely my type.
the fact that everything we see has its unseen dark side makes me feel suspicious about almost everything and everyone.

To be honest, Reid's character is very dark and ill portrayed. But the way it's written it captivates me. It's like a thrilling adventure, a full-on roller coaster ride where the turns and series of events makes me curious about what's next. I really liked it and enjoyed every bit of it.

The book sounds like it will make for an enjoyable read. I'm very interested in this Reid character; I'm curious to see/read about him in action. Thanks for a great review!

I really never know what is like behind the scenes in hollywood. But I'm not surprise if the author inspired from a real event. Everything has the dark side to be cover . Reid's character is interesting. I'd like to know what was the reason behind his action? His personality mentioned in the review is so tricky and makes me think it is not about money. This is trully a suspenseful action-crime story. Can't wait for the twist. Thank you for a great review.

Truly I do not like murder mystery or this type of thriller...not in books or movies. Even worse, I dislike the tense in which this book is written. However the style of writing is extremely engaging and while I was utterly horrified successively by the suicide and the interplay between THE COUPLE, I was still transfixed. And then further traumatized by the real possibility that a suicide could lead to an accidental death.

Not my cup of tea at all ...but if I had the book I would read it ... immediately.

Sounds thrilling. It really seems like a good book to read. I like how it has mysteries & cases to be solved. All the killings, drugs & abuse makes me want more of the book.

This sounds like a suspenseful modern take on the murderous and blackmailing side of Hollywood—one of the industry’s worst-kept secrets. It could be worth a read just to see if a fixer-turned-vigilante could really win out against a big celebrity with powerful allies. Thank you for the helpful review.

Oh wow! I didn't perceive Reid to be such a person. My eyes literally bulged out after I read of his other personalities :shock2: . This has a very interesting storyline, I can't wait to see how it all ends.

This sounds like a unique crime novel. I like that it has a Hollywood Star blackmailing others in the industry.
