Fame, beauty, success, happiness…the stars of soon-to-be hit TV show Sunset High seemingly have it all. But behind the glitz and glamour the truth is very different - scandal, rivalry, secrets and possibly even murder reign supreme in the land of Hollywood dreams.
British Abel is thrown into the world of celebrity culture when he is cast as the new teen star of a blockbuster Hollywood TV show reboot. Joining his fellow cast mates, Lucky, Ryan and Ella, he soon discovers that all is not as it seems. Between them the glamourous foursome have more off-screen drama than on-screen: secret affairs, addictions, controlling parents, buried grief and a ruthless production company.
When an obsessed stalker starts leaving ominous messages, they soon realise that it’s not just the tabloids after them.
An addictive, dark, queer thriller full of drama. With a background in celebrity journalism Dean skilfully brings to life the fake world of high stakes TV production, and the lives of the rich and famous. Alongside this he sensitively handles issues of grief and addiction. The story is told in alternating chapters from the four main characters, plus podcast excerpts, building a rounded picture of the action and keeping the reader on their toes. Fans of Karen McManus will love this.
Full of twists, this is a pacy book you’ll want to read in one sitting. Unputdownable!
