MY REVIEW:

This was a really fun one to read and a premise I haven’t read much of before. The main character, Alex, is a very wealthy actor and someone is out to kill him. The killer has already sent a message by shooting him and leaving a note that they were coming for him. As things get more unnerving, his security crew thinks it’s a good idea to hire a doppelganger to stand in Alex’s place during public events – and pay the man well for putting his own life in danger.

But no one really anticipated how dangerous this doppelganger was going to be. A relatively predictable plot line, but an easy read and lots of fun actually. It’s ironic how people sometimes view the rich and famous as untouchable idols and icons, but they’re just as vulnerable as the rest of us. Especially when people know everything there is to know about you because of your popularity.

An exciting and fast paced crime thriller that any fan would enjoy. Plus you get to enjoy all the creepy vibes this one has to offer which is what I liked best about it!

What if evil looked just like you?

Alex Cole was the King of Hollywood.

He had it all. Good looks, fame, fortune and the power that comes with being one of the most famous actors in the world. Alex was adored by audiences worldwide, and despite losing his parents in a horrific plane crash when he was only a teen, he managed to avoid all the pitfalls of young stardom and grew to become a true American idol.

Then, after an attempt on his life, Alex’s team decide that he needs more protection. While trying to keep the actor safe, his team unknowingly plunges Alex into a nightmare of murderous intrigue where the actor has to fight for his very survival.
