I found the sample very interesting, I just couldn't stop reading, although mystery thrillers are not my cup of tea. It is very well written, and fast-paced and the dialogues sound quite right. I wish I could read the whole novel today!

I do not enjoy thrillers, but this is a book I have to finish. It truelly captured my attention and I would love to see what happens with Reid, and his long he will get away with his schemes.

Reid is no doubt a stunning character. Would love to read the chase between him and Price. Thank you for your great review too.

How rare: it appears that the villain of this story, Reid, is the protagonist! I don't think anyone should be denied an indulgence of Schadenfreude for wanting his downfall. 😁

Nice review! But thrillers aren't really my kind of books. This is why we need reviews like this, I can now find something more my style.

Finally a new kind of thriller that I'm looking forward to read. Hoping that the character of Reid is as complicated as claimed in the description. Congratulations on being listed as Book Of The Day.

Gregory E Seller did a fantastic job creating the character Reid Garrett. Apart from the excellently highlighted dual nature of superstar and murderer, the author also described well the psychological state of the ruthless exploiter.

A suspenseful thriller of a Hollywood actor who is actually more like a predator sounds quite interesting to me. Does he succeed in keeping his dark side as a secret? I wonder what happens when Alton Price, a former CIA agent enters the scene. I appreciate the flawless editing, that always makes reading experiences smoother. Thank you for the lovely review!

Reid is not working alone, sounds interesting, is he employed. Plus who would support Reid's trickery. The rabbit hole seems to grow deeper and deeper in this thrilling book.

I’m not that interested in thrillers, however, this story has a great plot. Reid seems like a fascinating character.
