| Killer affair |
Whether we like it or not, reality TV is big business.
Reality TV in my eyes is a load of trash. That doesn’t change the fact that if I happen to be unlucky and catch an episode of Big Brother by accident, the next two months of my life are over. I get sucked in. There’s no point in fighting it, it’s just a fact of life. And don’t even talk to me about I’m a Celebrity….
So, if like me, you can’t stop watching reality TV shows
even though you probably hate every celebrity on them, Killer Affair is the
book for you.
Dowdy blogger Carline has been drafted in to ghost write
Lexys autobiography. She is being paid peanuts shadow Lexy, get to know her and
learn the tricks of the trade so that she can mimic her tone for the book. Caroline
dreams of writing a book of her own one day. She longs to earn enough money be
able to escape the dilapidated terraced house she shares with 4 other people.
Could ghost writing for Lexy could be the big break she’s been waiting for?
Caroline soon learns that the most important person in Lexys
life is Lexy. She has the perfect life, the perfect husband, the perfect house and
Caroline thinks she needs to be brought down a peg or two.
It quickly becomes clear that Caroline’s plans go way beyond
bringing Lexy down a peg or two. Caroline wants what Lexy has, the house and
the fame and most of all Lexys husband Frank and she plans on using Lexys own
tricks against her to get exactly that. Poor Frank is stuck in the middle and
with both women being as cunning as they come, it’s not surprising that he
hasn’t got a clue what’s really going on.
This book is full of revenge, bitchiness, fake friendships
and steamy sex scenes. There may even be a few celebrities in this book that you
recognise – names have been changed obviously!
I am fully aware that this book is a work of fiction but I have
a sneaky suspicion that one or two reality tv stars could well read this and tell us
that the truth isn’t that far off.
Rebecca Chance’s writing had the same effect on me as a
reality TV show. It had me well and truly hooked. Almost every character was
vile and the worse they became the more I wanted to see of them. My opinion of
each character changed from chapter to chapter, just like it does from episode to
episode on a reality TV show. And when the story ended I was relieved to return
to my ordinary life, with my ordinary friends and ordinary job, only this time
I didn’t have to look at their faces on the cover of gossip magazines for weeks
on end!!
This book was a giveaway win from the Trip Fiction Facebook
