I love this review . This review has attracted me the book. Wow. Reid is such an interesting character. Why does one of Hollywood's biggest stars see the need to commit all these crimes. Nice review.

What an interesting concept for a book. A suspenseful thriller of personal intrigue into the lives of celebrities, clashing with the CIA agent working on the case of a twisted main character. Well done!

This seems like a well-thought thriller. However, I don't like seeing the words 'Hollywood' and 'murder' together. It's also not a genre I would enjoy.

The book appears to be really interesting and intriguing, full of tension and suspense that will definitely keep me on edge till the very end of the book. It will be interesting to read and find out how Alton will make the "problem" of Reid's crimes "go away". Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Reid Garrett's portrayal as a rapist, exploiter, and killer, despite his numerous personal and social advantages points to the imperfect and pervert realities of life. No one has it all, and we can never know the full character of anybody. I am glad this book is exceptionally well-edited; readers will have a smooth reading experience.

What a book! The author surely knew how to make an actual thriller book that would keep the reader engaged. Fast pacing thrillers are usually attracting me the most!
Great review, too!

This book is captivating. Reid has quite a repulsive character for someone with such a good facade. I would like to read this book. Nice review

This sounds like the perfect installment for a wonderful evening. The blending of romance and a serial killer is just on another level! Great review!

I enjoy reading mystery thrillers and this sounds like a dark and intriguing one. I’m curious about Reid’s dark side and the reason why he ventures into that. Seems like the book has a lot of lessons.
Thanks for the amazing review!

This novel sounds like a fascinating and suspense-filled story. The cover art and author's description were intriguing; the review, however, drew me in the most. Even as one of Hollywood's top celebrities, Reid could hide all of this, and his mysterious background was very capturing, and the storyline sounds perfect. Thank you for a great review, and I look forward to reading it.

The title of this book and the cover rhyme. They also give a dangerous vibe. Just looking at it, I felt it was a crime thriller, especially with the spilled blood on it. Interesting review.
