  In Hollywood, every pavement star tells a story. Not all of them shine. 
  Wannabe actor Kyle Macdonald is down on his luck. Working as a supply teacher in an inner-city Birmingham school, he's single again at 28 and sleeping in his childhood bedroom beneath a 'Hard Candy' Madonna poster. 
  He gets a call claiming he drunkenly married top Hollywood director Aaron Biedermeier in Vegas six years ago. Rather than panic, he sees a golden ticket to fame and the life he's always fantasised about. 
  But the glamorous veneer of Los Angeles – non-stop sunshine, celebrity actors and exclusive hotel suites - starts to crack, revealing a darker, corrupt underbelly to La-La Land. Kyle digs deeper into his so-called husband's past, unearthing disturbing allegations of abuse and underage sex parties. With the help of Biedermeier's fiancé, actor Noah Winters, he embarks on a cross-country race to unravel the mystery and expose the truth – finding love along the way.

  "A head-snapping dive into a twisted and sexy tale of ambition, revenge and murder set against a sun-bleached tear-stained postcard sent postage-due from the heart of Hollywood Babylon."  
  Josh Lanyon 
  "Fanning's prose and dialogue are crisp, brisk, and incisive, and the characterisation is strong."

  Julie Tudor is not a psychopath. 
   
   
   
  Julie Tudor is forty-nine and has it all: a fantastic job (well-maintained spreadsheets are the lynchpin of an efficient office), a beautiful house (some may wonder how she got the money for it, but nothing has been proved), and the man of her dreams. 
   
   
   
  Julie Tudor is not a stalker. 
   
   
   
  Sean is twenty-five and the love of Julie's life. The only problem is, he thinks he's in love with someone else. 
   
   
   
  And Julie Tudor is definitely, definitely not a serial killer. 
   
   
   
  But Julie has found herself in a similar situation before. And if there's one thing Julie knows, it's how to get rid of the competition . . . 
   
   
   
  After all, what's a little murder in the name of true love?

  Which is more dangerous...Mother or Human Nature? 
  Twelve hours earlier, Interim Sheriff Rebecca West was enjoying a casual lunchtime burger. Now she’s preparing for a hurricane headed straight for Shadow Island. While hauling sandbags and calming town officials, the last thing she needs is a stunned man stumbling into the sheriff’s department. 
  Covered in blood. 
  Clearly in shock, the man doesn’t know who he is and only mutters about needing help finding a mermaid. Is he distraught because he killed someone or because he witnessed a horrific event? 
  Rebecca needs to find out—and fast. 
  Fighting the torrential rain and wind, Rebecca discovers the victim, posed and decorated like a mermaid. Is the catatonic man the killer? Or is something more sinister at work? 
  With very little support, she has to work quickly before the island is completely cut off from the mainland and any evidence is destroyed by the natural disaster. It’s all hands on deck as Rebecca and the entire department scramble to prepare for a hurricane...and solve a murder. 
  From its enigmatic beginning to the nail-biting conclusion, Shadow’s Force—the fourth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—will make you fear the storms of nature and love.
