I have read a couple of the author's short stories previously, but this is my first full length novel by her. I wasn't prepared for just how dark & gritty it was going to be though!
This is the story of actors Piper & Tommy who are working together on a big movie. It started off seemingly normal, two co-stars having a bit of chemistry and a bit of a fling...slowly turning into something really not normal and quite disturbing.
Though Tommy is a bit - okay, a lot - depraved and twisted, I found myself drawn to him; he was really intriguing and I found myself constantly wanting more. Piper seemed like the kind of girl who could hold her own, but Tommy really gets to her and in her mind, a brainwashing of sorts. I did find myself shouting at her quite a bit!
The storyline itself flowed well, still concentrating on their professional as well as private lives - really giving an insight into Tommy's multiple personalities. Laura's writing had me gripped.
The story is one of the darkest I've read in a long time; one of a stalkerish, abusive, murderous kind that I gasped at, a lot! Certainly not for the faint hearted. I'm going to dive into part two now!

This book was not what I was expecting at all. Although slow to start off with, we are taken on an incredible and all consuming journey as we get to know Tommy, Piper and the relationship they develop.
This is an intriguing story. One that has left me with questions, but eager for the next book. I find myself wanting more of Tommy. To truly uncover who he really is...if we ever do. He is definitely a unique character. One that I wouldn’t want to go on the wrong side of.
It’s definitely a book I’d recommend, especially if you’re looking for something a little different.
