Beautiful Idols series.
Hollywood It Girl Madison (Unrivaled) is still missing. Nightclub promoters Layla, Aster, and Tommy work together to dig up the truth about Madison's shady past before one--or all--of them goes down for the disappearance of their most famous patron. Reality-show-level drama and scandal supersede character development, but the mystery of Madison's disappearance will grip readers all the way up to the cliffhanger ending.

Beautiful Idols series.
Eighteen-year-olds Layla, Aster, and Tommy are competing in a high-stakes contest to recruit young celebrity patrons for a group of Hollywood nightclubs when their most lauded VIP, Madison, mysteriously disappears, making the ruthless teens prime suspects. A spotlight on the seedy side of celebrity life, this guilty-pleasure whodunit should have focused more on Madison's intriguing backstory and less on numerous pedestrian subplots.
