Her search for the truth leads her to a dazzling new world, a deadly secret hidden at the heart of Los Angeles, and into the path of Gabriel Cabral, who says he's been sent to save her life.
But when another magnetic stranger, Adam Bishop, makes the same claim, Holland realizes that at least one of these men is lying to her. And if she can't figure out whom to trust, her magical reality could change from a Hollywood dream to a nightmare.

I did NOT think it would be possible to love a story as much as her other stories but Stephanie Garber has done it again! it's sooo good. The twists!!! Even after it all I STILL don't know who's on her side, who's lying. I'm so excited for the next installment. Stephanie has gotten even better at writing, if that's even possible. I have 0 cons, nothing I would change, nothing I didn't enjoy. This book was absolutely fantastic.
