When a reality show about former child stars overcoming addiction culminates in murder, their therapist must take a closer look into their lives—and her own, from USA Today bestselling author Lucinda Berry. Dr. Laurel Hargrow can’t believe she’s agreed to do a reality TV show. But her years as a chemical dependency counselor and personal history with the show’s director make her the obvious choice. Treating a mansion full of former child stars on the road to recovery is the tallest order of her career—especially when one of them turns up dead while the cameras are still rolling. In a house full of narcissists vying for the spotlight, everyone’s hiding something…including Laurel. An investigation could expose a past she’d rather keep buried. But among the attention-starved patients, only one of them is a predator. And Laurel is skilled at spotting a predator when she sees one. As she hunts a killer in her present, the unsettling truths of Laurel’s past are forced into the light. But this time, she’ll face her demons head on. She’ll stop at nothing to expose a murderer, even if it means risking everything she holds dear.

I've been wanting to pick up a Lucinda Berry book for a while now, and imagine my surprise when I saw that her upcoming new release is available for grabs in Netgalley. I saw my opportunity and gave it a go.
You can tell in her writing that she's been doing this for awhile now. Everything's CLEAR, considering that I read an Uncorrected Proof and the story isn't in shambles. Her writing style is DARK, compared to other authors. (Now I have to note that before picking up one of her books)
This book is also an eye opener, about abuse, drugs, withdrawals, suicide, depression, and how a small action can affect someone elses life.
The only thing I want to elaborate on the final edits, is the ending... Please don't leave it like that
