Holy Crazy Sauce. I picked this book up after listening to a fated mates Trailblazers episode (podcast) regarding Jackie Collins.  She was an author I heard about when I was in my teens, but I never read any of her books.  I'm so glad I did - what a crazy, fun romp.  It's been a long time since I read a book with such a multi-character universe.  There's no single protagonist - it's a cast of characters in Hollywood ranging from nepo babies, fledgling stars, fading stars, wives, mistresses and more.  Plus a serial killer. 
At the end of the day I think good ultimately prevails over evil, but it's a crazy ass ride to get there.
