She’s just a small town girl, with big mythic dreams.
Starr Weatherby came to New York to become… well, a star. But after ten years and no luck, she’s offered a big role – on a show no one has ever heard of. And there’s a reason for that. It’s a ‘reality’ show beyond the Veil, human drama, performed for the entertainment of the Fae.
But as Starr shifts from astounded newcomer to rising fan favorite, she learns about the show’s dark underbelly – and mysterious disappearance of her predecessor. She’ll do whatever it takes to keep her dream job – though she might just bring down the show in the process.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Reality television is where truth meets fantasy, a concept this whimsical novel from Dawn (Home for the Holidays) takes to the extreme. Starr Weatherby, née Samantha Wornicker, works as a diner waitress while fruitlessly trying to get her foot in the door as an actor. She gets her big break when she overhears a table talking about their work on a television show and introduces herself, but she has no idea what she's getting herself into when she joins the cast of struggling, largely staged reality show Tune in Tomorrow, a program characterized by ludicrously melodramatic soap opera antics. Its otherworldly viewership accepts this drama as human nature—and they crave more. Starr, however, doesn't love the drama that happens off-screen. Star Fiona Ballantine is a nightmare to work with and no one will talk about what happened to Amelia and Joseph, two former cast members who disappeared before Starr's arrival. With the show falling apart around her—both literally and figuratively—Starr must figure out if she has what it takes to make it in showbiz. Dawn balances over-the-top drama and comedy with genuine intrigue to create a fun story with plenty of heart. Fans of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett will want to snatch this up.
