Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

There are a lot of things Alyssa Peyton once had. She once had a prolific and lucrative career as a leading actress in a slew of low-budget horror films. She once had a loving relationship with her producer/director husband, Peter. She once had fans and a dedicated following. All of this has vanished in the blink of an eye. Now, Alyssa has acquired a serious problem with both substance and alcohol abuse. She possesses a strong sense of self-loathing that seems to intensify every day. She has also found a new friend in devoted teenage fan, Taryn. Watching her life crumble and deteriorate, Alyssa knows it is up to her to make things right. With the help of Taryn, she begins a string of brutal and sadistic murders, all in the name of a twisted form of retribution. It is up to an aging detective to stop them before the body count rises. But will Alyssa stop him first?

If you have already read Ford's first novel [Crystal Bay] then you already know what to expect from Ford, and he doesn't disappoint.
Once again Ford has written another fast-paced novel, with believable characters and an interesting plot.

Ford paints a vivid picture when depicting the murders that take place within this novel. They are brutal & graphic, yet your eyes remain glued to the pages!
If you are looking for a great, fast read then look no further!
