About this ebook
Crime reporter Britt Montero’s dreams have been haunting her. She had to shoot a man to save her own life, and the memory of it is torturing her. Meanwhile, a major Hollywood actor strides into the newsroom—and Britt’s life—hoping to do research for the character he portrays: a secret agent undercover as a Miami crime reporter. An obsessed madwoman stalks the star, and mysterious mishaps, accidents, and deaths push Britt and the star closer together. Both are menaced by the stalker. Or is it someone else who is determined to sabotage the film and kill the star?

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I just hate it when authors try to create strong female characters and instead turn them into half-wits. This Britt person is supposed to be a hard-nosed crime reporter and she has all the instincts of a dead dog. Every time that Britt passed off some event as random or unconnected, I knew that the shit was about to hit the fan. And for a person who’s supposed to ferret out truth and is suspicious of people, she is too quick to pin all the misfortunes on the rabid stalker/fan, Stephanie. Of course Stephanie is not behind the bad things that have been happening. It is Lance’s personal assistant/bodyguard. Right at the end he is killed and it put the suspect out of my head. Stephanie had been fed information on where Lance would be so she could obsessively follow him. Who was feeding her the information? The only one who continuously knew that kind of information was the now dead Niko. But was he really dead? Just when I thought that, he showed up and tried to kill Britt and Lance. Turns out that the studio that Lance previously worked for was in such financial straights that they saw Lance’s backlist as a goldmine. A goldmine if he was dead that is.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Again, this was a repeat read that I didn't remember until at least half-way through. Still, I like her writing, and it was a nice summer diversion.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Either the author Buchanan, or the main character Britt Montero, is getting a bit too judgmental for my tastes. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep reading/listening to this series, partly because of this.
Erin Bennett narrates this uneven novel, where you're not really sure if it's over and done with, or not.
3 stars, not really recommended.
