Paranormal Plot

This book was listed as a mystery, which is why I got it. It relies on supernatural experiences, including visions and a ghost. If this had been included in the description, I would not have gotten it. The book might have better reviews if its description was accurate, because fans of that genre might enjoy it. I’m not, and I did not.

There was minimal profanity, although it was stronger midway through the book.

A lot of the book was devoted to descriptions of life in Hollywood and of the main character’s past cases. There was a good bit of repetition regarding the main character’s background and childhood.

There were confusing, similar names (Taylor and Timothy).

If you’re a paranormal fan, you might like it.

This is written by one of my favorite authors and as always, does not disappoint. Sydney is a great character, incredibly strong female. The story is compelling with lots of twists that kept me guessing. As always, I am looking forward to the next book by this author.

Inheriting her dad’s PI form takes Sydney back to her acting past.

Then things get complicated.

Intense action and reflection.

I received an advance copy from Booksprout.

I bought this book on Kindle.

I was enjoying this book until about 30% in. This story should have been listed under supernatural for those of us who do not believe in ghosts or coming back after death. I didn't finish as I would never have started it if it had been described properly.

Great mystery

Loved this story. It gave you background what really happens to try and make it as an actor or actress in Hollywood. Loved the two main characters. Would have liked to find out who killed Sydney's dad.

So Far the Worst Book in the Series

The author seems infatuated with all things Hollywood. I only finished the book because I'm trying to read the whole series. Most all the books, so far, in this series have been excellent. This one wasn't.

Great characters!

Good storyline that had me guessing most of the way through. I like how Syd kept on with the actresses, and how they came into their own.

Addictive

Loved this book, actually could not put down until I finished it. Characters drew you in and I just needed to get to the end. Brilliant

I liked the way the story ended. This could actually become a series all on its own.
