This is really an Irony. I wonder how Reid git to be a star with such negative qualities. It will be disastrous if young people emulate these traits from him. Nice review

The book cover is a bit overkill, but the title is good, as well as the concept. Just curious what pov Seller used in the book

Such an interesting book. Reid has an underlying motive to take advantage of his colleagues who trusted him with their secrets, what an irony! This book has a lot of life lessons. Congratulations to the author. "Everything is not as it seems and not everyone is who they say they are," is a quote that caught my attention.

Well done on the review. The sample pages were intense and filled with scene imagery. One drawback is that there were too many unnamed shadow characters introduced in the early chapters that I lost the plot line. Congrats on BOTD!

The plot and storyline sound very unique. I think these types of books are for a specific audience based on the contents. I personally do not enjoy reading about rape so I will be passing.

I found the sample interesting but it didn't sold me completely for the book. But after your review I am really curious to know how are Reid and Alton connected, and who's behind the curtains.

This psychological, mystery thriller sounds like it is a well-written page-turner with unexpected twists. Great review!

This sounds like an intriguing and suspenseful book to read. I wonder what solution was arrived at for Reid's habit of blackmailing people. That is if any was gotten. Nice work on the review!

I can't stop thinking about why a "big Hollywood star" would be a killer or do such detestable acts that are mentioned in the review and would like to find out why. Good review.

He preys "on the rich and celebrities of Hollywood by holding their scandalous secrets over them." Sounds like Amber Heard lol. But seriously, I love a good thriller, and I like that Alton is a relatable character. The plot also seems to have a lot of twists and turns, so I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the review.

This thriller has a dynamic plot with unique characters. I'm particularly interested in the character of Reid Garrett and Alton Price. Your review was very insightful. Congratulations on BOTD.

From the excerpt I actually thought this was a story about Blair and her interaction with Reid, rather than Reid being the main focus. However, either way, it is definitely intriguing with lots of twists and turns.
