******************************************************************************************

Sometimes life can be a real witch.

Meet Maxie Duncan. Your average 23-year-old blonde. If you can call being wealthy, gorgeous, and knowing what the future holds at times, average.

After her fiancé blindsides her with a breakup at their favorite restaurant, she leaves Maine for a shot at being Hollywood's new 'it girl.' There's only one problem. She's never acted a day in her life.

When a big Hollywood director sends her packing, she realizes if she wants to stay in L.A., she may have to become a normal girl after all. But normal has never been in the cards for her. Strange things keep happening wherever she goes, a red-eyed shadow no one else sees is stalking her, and to top it off, she may be falling in love again, with either the bookish guy next door, or Hollywood's hottest leading man.

But everything isn't what it seems. Someone's keeping secrets from her. Is it her new friends at the apartment building she moved into? Or is it Ryan Everheart, the actor who wants to sweep her off her feet? And why are her feet suddenly floating off the ground?

It's enough to drive a girl insane. All Maxie wants to do is ride off into the sunset with her one true love and find a killer pair of Manolo Blahniks on the way. But how's a girl supposed to focus on a love life and shopping when everywhere she turns someone or something is trying to kill her?

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth your time. September 30, 2012

By Giasa

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

The characters in this book are poorly developed, wooden, and unrealistic. There were several times, when I went back a page to see, if I had missed something. The story makes no sense and has no flow. That is pretty hard to do, when writing about other-worldly characters. If I would not know better, I would have thought, it was written by a tenth grader in high school.

3.0 out of 5 stars cute book - had potential November 12, 2012

By iheartscrapbooking

Format:Paperback

this was a cute book. quick and easy to read. there were quite a few grammar issues and i caught myself re-reading some lines because things were not always described very well and it got a little confusing at times. if more time and energy had been put into the story and characters (and editing) it could have been much better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great start....needs work September 21, 2012

By Bobbye Hudspeth

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

First the good stuff. A good plot and interesting characters. This has the potential to be a really good book  and probably a really good series. But....it is NOT ready for prime time. Far too many major grammar, spelling, punctuation and basic writing errors. This premise is right up my alley and if I hadn‘t been jolted out of scene after scene by stupid mistakes that should have been caught long before the rough draft was finished, I can see this easily being a four or even five star book. I can‘t imagine a writer...certainly not an editor...missing the glaring dozens of errors that slapped me in the face as I tried to read. There‘s just no excuse. These very well crafted characters deserve better!
