Escape The Dollhouse

by William Phillips

Years ago, a newborn was buried in the desert—only to be discovered alive by two construction workers. The shocking act became a whispered Beverly Hills urban legend, fading beneath Tinseltown gossip and Hollywood glitz. But behind the gilded gates of the Doll family’s mansion, that terrible secret is alive and festering.

Stephen Doll is a powerful movie producer obsessed with maintaining his empire and perfect image. Katie, his wife, drowns her guilt in pills and high-society parties, hiding dark knowledge of what truly happened in that desert. Their children, Jake and Jessica, cling to illusions of a normal life—until masked intruders invade, forcing every lie, affair, and buried betrayal into the open.

In a world where ambition trumps conscience, the price of Hollywood fame proves deadlier than any rumor. Sometimes, chasing perfection isn’t just dangerous—it’s the one thing that can destroy you.

I enjoyed this book.

[Millie Webb · Rating 2 out of 5]

I can't tell if this was a good concept but poorly executed with very amateur writing, or whether it was too outlandish or just bad.
