Dash is an astrologer and the themes of astrology seem to be weaved in subtly through the book. Identify some character personalities and the plot points that also line up with their zodiac signs, for a bit of a symbolism.

I reviewed this book before, and I totally agree with the thoughts written in this review. It's a fun read, and quite thrilling too with all the chasing and hiding from the goons. This review is also written beautifully as it captures your interest to read to the end. Love it.

Oh, I read this one too! I'm so glad to see that you enjoyed Crimeline Hollywood! I totally agree with your thoughts on the mix of suspense and humor. Dash Harwood's back-and-forth with Nigel during that car chase had me laughing out loud too! It’s those lighthearted moments that make the intensity of the plot even more engaging. I also appreciated the well-developed characters, especially Dash, who really made the story for me. I didn't mind the short chapters too much, but I can see how it might affect the flow for some. Great review!

Why would some hitman go after an astrologist? Read the book to find out. I just did that and the reason and results are pleasing.
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

Thank you for an insightful review. The reviewer is spot on about the high speed action. The opening car chase is indeed humorous and stressful at the same time. There is also very descriptive language used in the book, which paints clear visuals for the reader!

Crime and mystery thrillers are usually suspenseful and exhilarating. This book seems to have a unique story that will get readers on the edge. I am more interested into knowing who kidnapped Sparklynn? And, did Dash manage to trace Sparklynn's whereabouts through his investigation? I will read the book.

It follows Dash Harwood, a celebrity astrologer, who finds himself on the run after angering some dangerous people. When his famous client, Sparklynn, is kidnapped, Dash is pulled into a high-stakes investigation alongside Rebecca, a glamorous private investigator. The story is filled with thrilling moments, such as high-speed chases and coded messages, as Dash tries to solve the case before time runs out. Readers can expect a blend of action, mystery, and witty exchanges, especially between Dash and his quirky GPS, Nigel.

This book sounds like an engaging read filled with suspense, humor, and enough twists and turns. The part of the astrologer is rather funny. Wonder if he could predict what he was getting into. Overall it sounds like a read that I many will love. Great review!
