The Price of Fame

Valentina Terrinoni

When being famous could cost you your life, literally...


Andy Grant never wanted to be an actor, especially not a famous one. Both dreams he left to his best friend, Emma. But when he’s the one spotted during their final school production, the eighteen-year-old is propelled into fame, fortune and the celebrity-obsessed world.


Living with her father in a small village on the Isle of Skye, Chelsea Robinson is tired of the quiet life. Wanting to be a writer, she takes the opportunity to do some work-experience in London, against her father’s wishes. But Chelsea has an ulterior motive of her own. She wants to find out more about her mother’s mysterious death, and thinks their old hometown is the best place to look.


But London threatens to destroy them all, as they learn and pay, the true price of fame.

 

Greenacres Academy

Valentina Rosa

Greenacres Academy: the place where dreams are made, or shattered…


‘In an instant a figure was at Chloe’s side, wrapping warm protective arms around her. “Shhh,” Shane cooed, as he rocked her there on the floor.’

To attend Greenacres, the most prestigious academy in the equine world, is something all riders would kill for, except one.

Chloe’s world has come tumbling down around her. Her dreams have changed overnight and she cannot escape the nightmares that remind her of her loss. But being too scared to move forward with her life and unable to confide in anyone, will Chloe escape the living nightmare her life has become?

For Shane Hart life is simple. He lives for his horse Titan, and dreams of attending Greenacres so he can prove his worth to his family. He's desperate to escape being overshadowed by his brother Toby, an Olympic champion, and his mother whose only purpose is to brag, control and scold. But first he needs to learn how to tame his wild and unpredictable nature, before it prevents him from achieving his dream.

More importantly, can Shane and Chloe, an unlikely pair, help each other heal from their invisible wounds?

Cover by Melanie 'Cellardoor'

being the kid that had a zoo of animals myself - horse, cat, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish...i can relate and this book instantly appeals to me. I like the characterisation of Hal, especially his racoon tie etc. but you give a good sense that he is not all he seems! I also think you've done a go... view book

Hi, here returning your read thanks. I think your opening provides a good hook, the image of a frantic mother searching for a son that everyone thinks is a lost cause. Well done. A couple of things i noticed: 'realizing she('d) been crying for days' ''(the)filth on the windows...' view book
