Book Blurb:

Tinseltown's awards season is in full swing, and everyone is obsessed with dressing up, scoring free swag, and getting invited to the biggest awards shows of the year. But when popular Silver Sphere Awards publicist Lyla Davis is killed during a botched ATM robbery, the celebratory mood comes to an abrupt halt.

Dayna Anderson—an actress turned apprentice private investigator—uncovers the killer almost immediately. Unfortunately, what starts as an open-and-shut case turns out to be anything but. Lyla's murder was no robbery-gone-wrong. Someone hired the gunman to kill her. Diving back into the investigation, Dayna gets a backstage look at the worlds of gossip blogging, Hollywood royalty, and one of entertainment's most respected awards shows—all while trying to avoid her own Hollywood ending.

II was a bit disappointed in this book.  It started out fun with all the modern social media references with texting, blogging, and celebrity lifestyles, but it quickly became old.  The mystery was very light as well - the person I suspected early in the book (because of Doylist logic) was actually the guilty party.  I’m fine with that if the characters, setting, or other elements of the book hold my interest, but that didn’t happen for this one.

On the plus side, the book seemed well written / edited- there were no errors that pulled me out of the story as there are sometimes.

It wasn’t my cup of tea, so to speak, but I think someone who enjoys following the Hollywood Lifestyle, life on the red carpet, and keeping up with the latest celebrity gossip would love it!

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley.com and voluntarily chose to review.
