Fallen Princess

by Marian Andrew

Once celebrated as America's pop princess, I basked in the glow of fame until a scandalous video emerged, revealing my illicit romance with my four bandmates. The media's relentless scrutiny shattered my image, and my bandmates fled to England, leaving me to endure heartbreak and disgrace alone.

But that was only the beginning.

The night the scandal broke, I awoke in confusion, my memory blank, discovering five days were missing. Amidst the chaos, my stalker invaded my home, plunging me into a realm of terror. Seeking refuge, I vanished into seclusion for nearly a decade, shielding myself from prying eyes and haunting memories.

My ex-bandmates have resurfaced, eager to reunite and resurrect the music that once bound us. Yet, the threat of my relentless stalker still looms large. The idea of confronting these men who betrayed me is unimaginable, but the pull of music beckons.

Will I find the strength to confront my past, or will betrayal and danger shatter the fragile peace I've painstakingly built?


Brace yourself for a whirlwind ride through the highs of stardom, the lows of betrayal, secrets unveiled, and the pulse-pounding danger that awaits in the shadows.

“Fallen Princess” is one of those books that packs a punch! The suspense in this dark rockstar standalone is high, but what got to me most were all the feelings of hurt and betrayal. The emotions deep within these five main characters were written masterfully and even 12 hours after finishing the book I can still feel them, as if they’re still present in the air around me.

I’ll admit; this was one of those books where the temptation to scroll ahead and read the ending was high… Luckily I didn’t and the finale in this book was truly epic! There’s a lot to unpack in this novel, and I loved how the second chance romance evolved around the twists and turns we discover about their past.

I don’t think I’m able to pick a favorite character in this why choose story; I honestly loved them all and even though I love the fact this book is a standalone, I’m also a little sad to say goodbye to them. This was a great and suspenseful contemporary read, and perfect for everyone who loves a why choose standalone without MM.

This book was really good, with alot of "whodunit" vibes. From. The beginning to the end, we were left to wonder who the mystery stalker was .. but inbetween the other pages, we got to the amazing musicians and their love for each other. This is a RH Rockstar, stalker romance and it was great!

[Sonya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fallen Princess is one of those stories that keep you guessing and brings out all the feels: Heat, Laughter, Anger, Suspense as well as feelings of Love and Acceptance. What started out as harmless “playtime” between consenting adults quickly turned into something terrible. Eden and her bandmates were friends, lovers and family. Being in close proximity to one another and add in feeling a polyamorous relationship was bound to happen even if it was just suppose to be a “Good Time”

Eden, Haze, Jagger, Asher and Callum had a lot to overcome. When video footage of their wild sexcapades hits the mainstream Eden’s world comes crashing down. It's bad enough she is being stalked and as well as being a survivor of a SA; Eden was at her breaking point and her guys were nowhere to be found. Therefore; to save herself from further embarrassment and humiliation she leaves the guys and the band to live a life of solitude.

Communication or lack thereof. This story was the epitome of miscommunication. When everything went down Eden was the fall girl; whereas the guys were protected. The idea of releasing a reunion album has Eden and the guys coming face to face after their ordeal but there is simply too much bad blood between everyone.

Secrets. There were so many secrets. Eden didn't want the guys to know about her stalker or what happened to her by his hands. The guys all were dealing with their own inner demons and didn't know how to connect with Eden without causing distress.

Trust. Everybody had trust issues. Eden blamed the guys for the leaked footage and the guys blamed her but it wasn't until they took the blinders off and realized that something else was at play. When they were young and dumb mistakes were made but now that they're 10 years older everyone is working on becoming a better version of themselves. How can 5 damaged people become whole again?

You can't trust everyone. Eden went through so much and felt alone during a majority of it but she had no idea danger was closer than she could ever imagine. Haze, Jagger, Callum and Asher knew they loved Eden and messed up big-time and went through great lengths to show her they were trustworthy and were not the one trying to sabotage her but believes that someone close to her is.

A new record, a stalker on the loose, 5 hearts on the line will Eden and the guys make it back on the charts with their Hearts, Mind and Soul intact?

Started off with an orgy, ended with an orgy!

It was an interesting read! I've only read ONE RH book series about Rockstars, and that gave me a migraine 🥴, but this one right here is so much better than that! (No shade)

The FL is strong, and the MLs are okay. There are 4 of them! My only complaints is that there was just too much smut! Gah, Lee!🤣 It didn't take away the plot, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone solely read this for smut purposes chile.
♡♡♡♡♡

Moving on, this story has a good amount of angst since it has this 2nd chance and stalker thing going on! It's a good concept that I'm willing to read again.

At first, I thought this was 'Stalker Romance', but NOPE, the twist is that her stalker is actually a sick fuxk that deserves to be on the 7th level of hell!😇

Anyways, with the whole Catlinna or however, u spell her name. The woman that stuck beside Eden(the FL) for those last 10 years. Turns out, she was the woman who orchestrated every trauma the FL went through! The FL was adopted when she was young, and that woman turns out to be her crazy ass mother. She hired the stalker to terrorize the FL for all those years. WTF! In the end, the scene reminded me so much of Selena and Yolanda incident that happened, I wondered if the author got her inspo there. The motel, her isolating her from her companions, the gun-🧐

But what left me so shock was AFTER they killed the stalker! After getting abducted and almost killed. The manager saw that as an opportunity to use that as profit to make their debut as a band at a human trafficking charity is crazy! All in the same day, lord😅

But then it was later explained by the FL that ofc she will use that to celebrate the death of her abuser and debut as a band! So a win-win situation, I guess...🥴
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

This is a standalone book, but it feels like a book series!That's a good thing. It has so much thickness to it! I need to start reading more standalone RH books because I always find myself reading a 4-7 book series chile...

This is a memorable book and deserves its 4 stars. Keep up the good work, author! And I love the art cover at the end. I wish I had seen earlier to know how these men looked like 2D😫

Putting The Pieces Back Together


From the start of this book, we see the type of intense & sensual connection these 5 characters have with each other. Yet, they’re young & it’s not enough to withstand public scrutiny when a scandal breaks & shatters the bubble of their personal & professional relationships. For Eden, our FMC, the scandal & desertion of her bandmates/lovers are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to her problems. A stalker sends her into seclusion for years until her bandmates show up wanting to reunite their music. The guys have changed though, and are having to learn to work together again with themselves, as well as her, because she wasn’t the only one devastated by the past. Eventually their hearts are wanting more from Eden than just music & lyrics though, even if all of their hearts are wary of going down that road again. Because trust me, the amount of mistrust & caution on both sides would be enough to fill the Grand Canyon, and her secret, that she didn’t feel safe enough to share, certainly made it seem impossible to get back to even a fraction of how they were before, yet somehow they slowly felt themselves thawing towards each other. Eden’s world is still in danger though, even if they don’t know it, and the type of betrayal she went through isn’t something she thinks she can come back from…or is it. Once secrets are revealed & shining light on past events, will Eden be willing to fight for what she wants? Or will she find herself overcoming years of hurt, only to find that old dangers are even closer than she imagined? This story is a whirlwind of ups & downs and twists & turns…full of hurt, betrayal, fear, danger, mysteries, secrets, but also redemption, forgiveness, chemistry, passion, off-the-charts heat 🥵🔥, and the kind of love that knows no time limit or expiration date. A wild ride of emotions that will grip you within the first few pages and won’t let go until you’ve found complete satisfaction among the pages 🙌🏻👏🏻❤️

*BOOK REVIEW*
BOOK: Fallen Princess
AUTHOR: Marian Andrew\
REVIEW: Eden is a disgraced rockstar. She was in a scandal with the other members of her band and it left her reputation tarnished. She is fired from the band as a result. The night she finds out about the scandal, she wakes up confused and with a blank memory. She lost five days and has no idea what happened in that time. She is being stalked by someone or some group, and they break into her house. She finds that her panic room isn't as safe as it's supposed to be and she is found and threatened by one of the men that broke into her home. Ten years later, Eden has been a recluse and soon her old bandmates find her and ask her to rejoin their band and bring back the music that they bonded over. She is a bit reluctant due to her stalker still being out there ready to strike when she least expects it. Soon, she relents and joins so that she can confront the 4 meant who broke her trust and broke her heart, but the music takes center stage and is more important. Will she be able to confront her trauma and heal from it, or will the danger that stalks her and the betrayal of her bandmates ten years prior be enough to shatter the sense of peace she was finally able to find? This book was amazing! The spice was off the charts. We have one woman doing some seriously k!nky things with four men. I am here for it! The love Eden and her men find over again is beautiful. I love a good second-chance romance. This also has another one of my favorite tropes lovers to enemies back to lovers! The men were hot as hell and are in my book boyfriend harem. This book also has the mystery of who Eden's stalker is and the revelation will make your jaw drop. There's a lot of twists and turns, so many that it's like a neverending winding road. I can't wait to see what Marian spoils us with next!

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 3.5/5

Thank you netgally for the arc in exchange for my honest review. ♡

Pub Date Jun 12th 2024 

Eden had a bad start in the original band with the four guys, but they worked her way into her heart and eventually her bed. Being Americas chart topping band and a secret polly relationship, they had it good until it wasn't. One night changed all their lives.

What a great story about a teenage band that breaks up badly and finds each other years later. Working through each characters trauma and trust issues and finding their way back to each other was a great read.

It was like the plot never took a breather. When they weren't at it, there was some serious drama going on, and it always kept you guessing.

Okay, so I struggled with the dialogue sometimes. While most was hot, some of the spicy times were cringy. E.g. when her thoughts while looking at his peen were along the lines of 'hello, I'm going to reintroduce myself'. Also the guys are very English. So they have strong accents, but some of them don't make sense, and the word 'minging' is overused and used at odd times. Also, one calls her lass - which is Scottish.

And tiny detail (for me) I felt that the past, thoughts, and feelings were reiterated so many times. I understand learning about what happened before in small drabs throughout, but it got a bit repetitive.

Other than that minor rant, I really did love this.

"Because when it's our time to be together, I don't want
it to be a fleeting moment of weakness in your life. Mark
my words when I say I will take your soul and possess it.
You will belong to me, princess. I'm not just a passing
breeze in your life, and I have no plans to let you go."

"I guess the all-black works, but honestly, the color matches everything. My hair, my eyeliner, my mascara, my heart, soul, sense of humor. It's just an easy color to
wear."

Ms. Andrew has created another world for readers to immerse themselves in. This book gives readers everything they have become accustomed to when reading a book from this author. Sonic Revolution was THE band ten years ago. Eden along with Jagger, Asher, Callum and Haze created a sound all their own. That chemistry was on and off the stage. These guys were young and having fun. The scandal rocked their world and ended Sonic Revolution.

Ten years later, everyone is doing their own thing but music is still always in the background. Jagger decides it is time to clear the air and get the band back together. Not Sonic Revolution. A new band with a new sound with the band members having more control. Now he has to get everyone else on board. The guys were easy but there was a lot of animosity between the guys and Eden. Before the split, they were close, real close and then, as far as Eden was concerned, they just left. Will the music be enough to bring this crew back together?

I don't want to get to far into what's going on in this book. This book is everything that readers want in a reverse harem. Readers go back into the past to see it all fall apart and go through them trying to piece themselves back together. Past hurts maybe too much to overcome. The truth needs to come out. When it does, the fireworks that erupt are unbelievable. That's not all. Eden has a stalker. Now that she is back in town with her guys the stalker has resurfaced after being dormant for the past ten years. This book goes dark. Be prepared and enjoy the ride.

Who doesn't love a good stand alone, am I right?

Fallen Princess is my first time reading a rockstar romance and it did not disappoint!
🎸 Second Chance
🎸 Spicy, spicy scenes 👌
🎸 RH/Why choose
🎸 Stalker vibes
🎸 Strong plot
🎸 Suspense
🎸 Standalone book

Marian has nailed the balance of heavy spice while still maintaining a really good plot. There are so many twists and turns that when you think you have the mystery solved, another gets thrown in the mix so you are left still guessing right until the end! The ending was so damn nail-biting, you're left screaming at your book!

What made this book unique was that 4 of the main characters were Brits and 1 main character American, the writing was done so accordingly which made it entertaining especially with Callum's hot-headed personality!

My favorite character if I had to choose would have to be Storm 😭

If you are looking for a standalone book to read, I recommend giving this one a crack. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you Marian Andrew & #netgalley for allowing me this ARC and giving me the opportunity to review it!

What are you doing, you need to be reading this book right now!

As i've said in the past rockstar romances are something I enjoy but have to be done a certain way for me to love and when I say Marian nailed this rockstar romance like no other! This felt realistic, from the plot to the characters I felt like I was living within this story from page one. This author has a way with blending genres and she's never let me down, I didn't know I needed a dark rockstar romance in my life until I read this book!

This being Andrews first standalone novel I felt like she did an incredible job in not only the pacing which keeps you locked in through out but also the story telling, it flows so well and there's never a dull moment. I had the time of my life getting to know Eden and her men as well as being along on the ride to discover more about her stalker. From second chance to why choose this novel is packed with amazing tropes, a fun story line and characters you cant help but fall in love with.

“Siren, it goes without saying that my three moods are: hungry as fuck, horny as fuck, tired as fuck.”

My thoughts: This started off with an intense situation! When I saw the blurb and saw four men? It was an immediate yes to read 😅 and also the girl on the cover is STUNNING! The book was written with multiple POV: Eden, Jagger, Callum, Asher, Haze. It got me confused on who looked like what just because there are so many characters involved but I still enjoyed it. This was a bit lengthier than I was expecting, at 454 pages but it is packed with spicy scenes, and suspense. I liked Eden’s character, she went through so much trauma and refused to let her fear run her life any longer. That ending was wild! The author almost had me there! Without giving away too much of the book, I definitely recommend reading it! I enjoyed this and you will too if you like dark adult romance “why choose” novels with deep plot, slow burn, suspense and thriller aspects.

Why choose, second chance romance, and rockstars
Wow!!
This book captured my attention from the start. All the emotions I felt while reading and some edge of your seat moments. I was torn between reading it quickly to get answers or taking my time to savor the story.
There was suspense, drama, all the feels, delicious steam and bits of humor throughout. I can't forget about the mystery of who the stalker/masked man was.
Talk about a twist!! I did not see that coming. I had a few suspicions, but not all proved to be right. I was definitely surprised!

I loved Eden. Her strength and growth in the story was big. Despite what she went through, she chose not to give up.
Asher, Callum, Haze, and Jagger were the guys. I loved them too. It may have taken a little longer with a few of them.

Eden and her men faced many challenges and their relationship had its ups and downs. With secrets, miscommunication, and heartache. In the end they proved that they had a true love and that they were a family.

The author gave us a excellent story, with the perfect ending!!

[Natasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Broken trust, betrayal, and redemption and some intense twists and turns are just a few things that make this book so enjoyable.

The story is about a band that breaks up because the characters believe that they have been betrayed. More is going on than the characters know about on either side. Eden our FMC moves out into the middle of nowhere to protect herself while the MMC’s all move on with their lives in England. Ten years pass and the MMC’s decide to get the band back together after they have lost touch with one another and decide to go back to the states to get Eden on board. At first she is reluctant and doesn’t trust them but then decides to give it a shot. The book follows along as they make music again and fall for one another again all while Eden is running from her stalker.


This book is an amazing standalone and will keep you guessing the whole way through.

If you love rockstars, spice, and plot twist, you’re going to love this book.

[Daisy Nijs · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was sold from the moment I read the blurb, and the author did an amazing job writing this book.
Fallen Princess is a reverse harem, second chance, suspense, stalker romance. Eden and her men, they go through a lot. After the scandal, they left her. But years later, they come back for her.
I loved that I got to read what happened in the past and how they become the person they are now. And I can understand that Eden can’t forgive them that easily, they left her then, and she had to find her way on her own with a stalker.
Nothing in this book was rushed, everything was at the right pace. And it was a lot to read, the author kept me on the edge throughout the whole book. I think I’ve never read this fast before. I just loved it. Everything in this book was right in balance, a great plot, the scenes where they come together, the twists and turns, the suspense.
I’m sad that this is a standalone, but who knows, maybe they will show up in another book somehow.

[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want a good stalker romance with plot, and twists you won’t see coming, then look no further! Fallen Princess is for you. I should warn you though… you will feel all the feels. Although this is a very spicy, comical read, you really get a feel for the fmc. Some parts…whew, I really wanted to see if you can in fact knock some sense into someone. 🙄
By someone I mean certain men. Just read it - you’ll know.

But fear not, our girl pulls through things in her own way. If you feel like everything is falling apart and there’s no relief in sight….don’t give up. Trust me — all your questions will be answered and it’s sooo worth it!

Oh and there is a page in the beginning that gives you a total for words like d!€k through the book. That’s when I knew this one was a keeper. Haha.

If you’re sensitive to cursing or have any triggers, as always, please be sure to check them before diving in.

Definitely recommend. Check out Fallen Princess today! 🎶

[Crystal Boyer · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a devoted reader, I’ve had my fair share of romance novels, but Fallen Princess stands out in a league of its own. Marian Andrew tells a captivating tale that combines the glitz of stardom, the ache of betrayal, and the pulse-pounding danger that lurks in the shadows.

Fallen Princess takes readers on a whirlwind ride through the highs of stardom, the lows of betrayal, and secrets unveiled. The slow-burn romance, suspenseful plot, and British-American crossover add layers of intrigue. And yes, this is a “why choose” novel, where the main character has and ends up with more than one love interest.

Lastly, the book’s exploration of themes like fame, privacy, and the dark side of celebrity culture could spark thoughtful discussions among readers, making it not just an entertaining read but also a conversation starter.

[KassiKayC · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best Book I have read in a while. LOVED IT! The Book is about Eden Rivers and her men, Haze, Callum, Asher and Jagger. They were happy together. Touring, making music and loving each other. Then private videos and information get leaked and Eden has to run to save herself. She is never able to get ahold of the guys and the air never gets cleared between them. Eden secludes herself from the world. The guys grow apart and all go their separate ways. The split of their found family devastating them all in different ways from seclusion, work aholics, addiction.... Do they find their way back to each other? Does the band get back together? Who was responsible for the videos? Who is trying to keep them apart? Is it more than 1 person? What are the reasons why? Is there something or someone more sinister at play and if so who and what? My heart broke for Eden and her guys and all they had to go through individually and together to get to their HEA. This book answers all of these questions with finesse, suspense and just plain greatness. This is a must read! 

[Jacklyn B · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book surprised me a little with how much suspense and mystery was in it! From the very beginning I was immediately invested in what happened to these five people and how they went from in love to not talking for 10 years. Yes, there is a major miscommunication BUT I think it makes sense in the context of the story.

My heart broke for Eden and how she never felt safe and the lengths she goes to try and find her true self. She was so strong and I loved how her confidence grew.

While she certainly had it the worst the guys struggled too and I loved how they slowly were able to admit their love for her. I did not expect the ending, so try and go into this blind!

Be sure and read the note in the beginning about “Britishizing!”

Where to start 😜😜😜

This is a standalone book

Eden, joined the band Sonic Revolution as the manager said they needed something ‘new’

Sonic Revolution is made up of Jagger, Asher, Callum and his big brother Haze, not wanting a woman to join them, they don’t comply at first, but then they decide on something to ‘help’ their latest single be phenomenal….and then 💥………..

Eden, awakes disoriented after the boys and herself made the phenomenal music, then………..

10 years later, a lot of hatred for each other and a stalker in the wild, will they ever see eye to eye again?????

This book is superbly written in both English and American and also has a lot of heavy 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 moments

A MUST read now 🤪😜

[Laura O · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am in love with this book! The beginning is rough emotionally due to lots of miscommunication. But, oh, do they fight for their relationship. Eden is quite a strong character. She does not put up with the guys' bull$h!t. After everything she has been through, I don't blame her. The guys are hot! Asher is hands down my favorite. He is there for her from almost day one. He is the calming influence. The other 3 are definitely hot heads. Some angst (especially in the beginning), lots of intrigue (the stalker really kept me guessing), betrayal, an HEA and so much spice! The little extra tidbits at the end wrapped up this story wonderfully. 5-star read for me and I know I'll be reading it again.

[Nichole Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This isn't the first book I have read by Marian Andrew, but it is by far my favorite! She definitely knocked this one out of the park. Her writing style is such an easy flow that I quickly get swept away, and hours have passed by in what seems like minutes. This story, Eden's story, is just phenomenal. So much trauma and pain turned into beauty in the end. The plot was amazing, and I loved the twists and turns. Normally, I have a favorite man in RH stories, but I can't pick just one in this one. I absolutely loved them all. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves a plot heavy story!

This story follows a young woman who joins a boy band of 4 but with a scandal she disappears and comes back to them. I love a why choose story so when I heard this one features a boy band, I knew I had to check it out. The author did a well job writing this unique story. I loved the storyline and was very entertained with it till the end. I did find the mystery part of the book too much towards the end and thought it should have been evenly divided but the story was still great. I loved the multiple povs of the book and the setting of the story. 

Eden is the FMC of the story. I really liked her character and seeing her grow. She’s so brave to come back to the spotlight after everything. Then we have our four men: Jagger, Asher, Haze & Callum. I won’t go into much detail but my favorite was Jagger. Most of them were similar in character but they were still amazing character. The romance is why choose with second chance and is very steamy. 

The ending was well done and I loved how they had such an amazing HEA. There was a lot of chaos throughout the end where so many secrets were revealed and loved it. I recommend checking this book out. The author did an amazing job with balancing the American words and British words for this book. 

*this book was sent to me by the author to give an honest review in return*

[Lily Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received a free eARC of this book, and this is my honest and voluntary review.

In Fallen Princess, we follow the lives of ex-bandmates Asher, Callum, Eden, Haze and Jagger 10 years after a stalker and a leaked video tore their lives apart. When they reunite, Eden’s stalker returns with a vengeance and threatens to tear the band apart in the most permanent ways.

I ADORED this! From the word go, I was hooked and didn’t want to stop reading. Eden is the epitome of a strong heroine, overcoming the biggest battles a woman can face and encouraging the reader - which is a feat in itself. As we navigated the stress of Eden’s life which never seemed to slow down, Marian managed to take a romance book and make it feel like a thriller/mystery book! Marian is an absolutely incredible author, and manages to captivate you with every word. Now, the boys? OOOOOOFT 🥵. I am a SUCKER (😉) for reverse harem, and 441 pages of it was just *Chef’s Kiss*. There was the perfect amount of spice, and every scene was perfectly written. I absolutely loved the multiple POVs and that we got to know each and every main character along with their flaws. Each character is not only relatable but believable!

At 441 pages long, this took just over 6 hours to read. I highly recommend it to any romance lover. This book has multiple violent and sexual scenes and is intended for a mature audience. Please read the trigger warnings before starting.

9/10

This captivating book grabbed my attention right from the beginning. The story revolves around Eden, who was once America's pop princess but faces public disgrace after a scandalous video exposes her romantic involvement with her four bandmates. This suspenseful and slow-burning thriller expertly intertwines themes of betrayal, secrets, and danger. It’s a dark "why choose" romance with mature themes and a complex plot, making it a perfect choice for fans of intense, emotionally charged stories. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gripping and twist-filled read.

This was a fantastic read I really enjoyed the fact they were in a rock group and we got to see how they all worked together as a band and in their relationship. I loved how Eden didn’t fall straight back into their arms after 10yrs and all that she’d been through but that the men just slowly chipped away at her armour before they all finally admitted to their feelings for each other. The storyline kept me hooked and desperate to see what happened. Fantastic read!

3/5

This was ok. I love RH & a rockstar trope so this should have been a hit. However, it didn’t rock.

The stalker storyline was the most interesting aspect. The guys were not memorable or particularly interesting. They all felt the same.

It also felt way too long. I appreciate longer books, but the story needs to be there. This felt repetitive with a a lot of inner monologues which became redundant.

Marian is a heck of a writer, and this book is a testament to that. I could not put this book down. I just couldn't figure out who Eden's stalker was and then to find out at the end was mind blowing. This book has it all...angst, suspense, tragedy, second chances and of course, a lot of smut.

Fantastic rockstar, why choose with dark stalker themes. I loved the set up to this, 10 years previously a scandal that tears them apart. Eden becomes a recluse and the guys split apart. Eden doesn't give in to them when they return to her, even if their feelings for each other are still there.
The stalker storyline shifts the whole thing to a totally new level and finding out what Eden has endured in the past is shocking. There are several suspects and even though I thought I'd worked it out, it was only part of it and the ending was explosive.
The spice is 5/5, with great character development and lots of mystery to keep you guessing.

Eden was once a famous pop star who had a video released without her permission or knowledge of having sex with her band mates she has gone dark after that. The secrets of being a star and who would do something like that to her and why. Multiple layers of betrayal going on. A really good book of mystery and suspense. Good characters especially the main character Eden.
