"outstanding thriller"
Play, Survive, Win is an online role playing game where
the target has a protector to save her from the assassin
and this game has made it out into the real world where
unwilling people participate in order to stay alive. Mega
movie star Devi Taylor is making a comeback in a film
based on someone one who played and survived the game.
Her only doubts about the film are her co-star Blake
Atwood who played a big role in their very public breakup. She is in her heavily guarded home working on her lines
for the next days when Blake arrives allegedly to read
them with her but in truth he wants to win her back. A
Fed Ex package arrives from Play, Survive, Win and when
they open the site they learn that she is a target who was
poisoned and if she wants to live she must follow the
clues to find the antidote. Andy, a fellow worker on the
movie, arrives saying he got a message saying he is the
protector. Blake refuses to stop for the antidote which
happens to be a good thing because he ingested the poison
and now he has as much at stake as Devi who is targeted by
the assassin. As they follow the clues, Devi realizes her
love for Blake has never died and if they both come out of
this alive, she intends to make sure nothing comes between
them again Julie Kenner has written an outstanding thriller that
sends chills down the readers' spines as they watch with
baited breath to see if the stars can beat the assassin
and Blake can find the antidote. This work of romantic
suspense is enjoyable to follow as the audience tries to
decipher the clues along with the characters. THE PRADA
PARADOX is a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience just
likes it predecessors (see THE GIVENCHY CODE and THE
MANOLO MATRIX). Harriet Klausner

SummaryUSA Today bestselling author Julie Kenner follows up her
acclaimed thrillers The Givenchy Code and The
Manolo Matrix with a whip-smart new adventure in
code-breaking—Hollywood-style!
Devi Taylor was one of Hollywood's fastest-rising
starlets—until a crazed fan held her at knifepoint and
she retreated to a life of privacy and Valium. Now recovered
and ready for a comeback, Devi dreams of endorsing all
things Prada, whose Rodeo Drive store she can't resist.
Instead, she lands the starring role in The Givenchy Code, a
high-budget action-adventure flick. But with the tabloids
all over Givenchy and her recent split with her drop-dead
handsome costar, Blake, Devi can't shake the feeling that
another crazed fan is going to strike.
Then a frightening message—"Play or Die"—is
delivered to Devi's house, and she finds herself sucked into
a deadly and cryptic game not unlike the one in the movie
she's starring in. Hollywood has always been her life, but
does Devi know its secrets well enough to follow the
cinematic clues that might save her and her favorite Prada bag?
