About this listen

She’s a librarian. He’s a movie star. Someone wants them dead.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions.

Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Caught in a high-stakes cliffhanger, it’s up to the leading man and his unlikely love interest to save the day, defeat the bad guys and maybe—just maybe—earn their own happy ending.

Lights. Camera. Run for your life.

Always a great story with Brynn Kelly

I love Brynn’s stories - pure escapism. I think this one was my favourite. Great narration, compelling mystery and lovely characters - ones you really want to get the guy/girl. With a bit of real-life references and poetry thrown in. I was thrilled to see a new story after listening to all her previous Originals.

Easy listen.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a super easy listen and I found the characters and story very interesting. The revelations were unexpected and I honestly didn’t guess who the villains where until they were reveled

I loved this story. The characters were very engaging and the storyline was very unique. I had a few suspicions as to the “baddies” but was surprised how many there were. It made for a very interesting and exciting conclusion.

Most enjoyable.

This had all the elements of a Hollywood action movie. Fast paced excitement, a comedic touch, introspective characters, the bad guys and of course a happy ending. What’s not to love.

I love this story

this was a great book. It kept me guessing. The only thing I found a little annoying was the change from Larna telling the story to Griffin telling the story. As an audio book it was sometimes a little hard to tell who was actually speaking the words when it was being read from Griffins view point.
