Dagmar Shaw got out of the game ... and into the movies. Sean is a washed-up child actor reduced to the lowest dregs of reality television to keep himself afloat. His life was a downward spiral of alcoholism, regret, and failure - until he met Dagmar. But Sean has secrets, dark even for the Hollywood treadmill of abuse, addiction, and rehab. And Dagmar is a cipher. There are dark rumors about her past - people tend to die around her. Now, she wants Sean for something. A movie, she says, but with her history, who knows what her real game is?
The story kept me reading all the way through, but it was not that satisfying in the end. It was interesting to see what Dagmar Shaw is up to. I imagine in the next book we'll see how what she's doing in this book goes horribly wrong.
