Double Down by C J Axlerod
Fiendishly diabolical.
Double Down by C J Axlerod just blows you away by its
intriguing plot along with some absolutely thrilling twists.
HOLLYWOOD.
The dream of every aspiring actor.
Glamour, glitz, fame and...danger.
To be the object of everyone's desire can lead to you being
in the cross-hairs of attention and sometimes even a bullet.
Something superstar Alex
Cole discovers the hard way.
All set to reprise his role in his next action saga, Alex finds that the action has moved
from 'reel' to 'real' when he is shot in the arm by a mysterious hooded person.
As if being shot wasn't scary enough, Alex discovers
that he has gone from being an action superstar to a whimpering viral 'meme'
sensation.
What would you do if you were a Hollywood superstar and were
being targeted by a murderer? (And social media)
Hire a double, obviously!
Something Alex and
his close knit team, 'his family' do immediately.
What follows is an incredible roller coaster of fun,
intrigue and cliff-hangers (literally). A virtual action thriller combined with
strains of creepiness that might make the ‘Bates
Motel’ *seem safe.
Axlerod’s writing
is like a 'smooth criminal'. It reads
like a breeze and then leaps out and knocks you out of your socks and shoes
too. Another highlight to look out for is the witty banter strewn across laced
with sarcasm. An absolute must read for fans of thrillers.
This one really needs to be made into a movie.
It's sure to be
huge, huge, huge.
So glad I got this RC, it had me at the edge of my seat. Hope you liked my fair and honest review.
Happy Reading☺
*Reference to the
iconic film ‘Psycho’ by Alfred Hitchcock
