Superstar by Joy King ties together the author’s previous novels, Dirty Little Secrets and Hooker to Housewife. Chantel Morgan, still bitter about being left at the alter on her wedding day, sees nothing but stars as she witnesses her ex-fiancé and the up-and-coming actress Tyler Blake hugged up together. When Chantel puts her foot on the gas pedal of her car, it is hard to figure out who the intended target is. But does that even matter when she thinks Tyler is a homewrecker and Andre (her ex-fiance’) is a misguided fool? And believe it or not, Chantel is not the only one who does not want the couple together. T-Roc slithers his way into the mix via mass deception and Superstar becomes a tale of which secrets are sacred and who done it and why. King weaves lessons of love, loss, forgiveness, and karma that will not easily be forgotten.
Superstar is a fast-paced, high-drama read. There were a couple of scenes that went a little too fast, but when you have a high-strung character like Chantel it should be expected. King did a great job of merging two novels to provide a very fulfilling story that gives readers a definite end to Chantel Morgan and Tyler Blake. The editing could have been more polished, but it was a very enjoyable read. I recommend Superstar to urban fiction readers and Joy King fans.
