ADVANCE PRAISE FOR UNRIVALLED

“Not all of L.A.’s beautiful people lead beautiful lives. Alyson Noël shows us with the details of an observant insider what they’re really up to, late into the night. Like a good celebrity, Unrivalled is mysterious and compelling and so gorgeous you won’t be able to look away” Cecily von Ziegesar author of the Gossip Girl series

“This glitzy, suspenseful, shamelessly addictive read offers an all-access pass to the glimmering world of Hollywood celebrity, where fame is a game, dark secrets are currency, and love doesn’t come without a high price.” Margaret Stohl, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Creatures

“Unrivaled will have you hooked from the very first page. Everything from the glitzy setting to the suspenseful plot is pure gold.” Jamie McGuire, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Disaster

  

My Review:
Thanks to Mira Ink for the review copy!

****

Unrivalled by Alyson Noel is an entertaining story filled with glamour, mystery secrets and lies. Like the praise says, it’s perfect for fans of Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars.

I started reading this book with low expectations, because this is not my usual read, so I was really shocked when I found it impossible to put down.

Unrivalled is the story of teens hungry for fame and attention.

Layla wants to be a reporter, but she needs the money to attend the school she wants. She’s the blogger behind The Beautiful Idols blog, a blog about celebrity gossip.

Tommy wants to be a guitar hero, but she came to LA for a very personal, and secret, purpose.

Aster wants to be an actress, but she wants to escape the life designed by her parents.

Madison Brooks is the hottest star of the moment, but her life is far more complicated than she lets on.

They are the main characters of Unrivalled, and their life converge when Ira Redman, the owner of the most popular nightclubs of LA, decides to host a contest to promote his clubs. The winner will be the one who brings the most popular stars to the club, the ones on his list, and Madison Brooks is the first of that list.

When Layla, Tommy and Aster enter the contest is when things start to get dirty. Every one of them has to use every trick to gain points. Their behaviors shift, their need to win gets the worst of them.

I enjoyed this book so much even though the mystery starts almost in the end of the book. But there are lies and secret in every page. This book is a fresh and fast paced read and while the more interesting character is the very Madison Brooks, every one of them has something to tell, someone to betray and secrets to keep.

If you enjoy books like Gossip Girl and I’m sure you’ll enjoy this book. The start is a little slow, but once you’re in, there’s nothing that will stop you to reach the end.

I’m so looking forward to next book in this series!
