Rosie and her best mates Soph and Abs are three regular girls. They
like regular-girl things; they eat regular-girl food and wear
regular-girl gear. In book one in the "Megastar Mysteries" series,
their regular-girl lives are turned upside down when Rosie gets
caught up with a desperate plea for help from a mega pop star,
Mirage Mullins, who's doing a signing in their local record shop.
The girls don't know quite what to do, but they'll go to any
lengths to help save the career of their favourite pop star. The
trio of friends must find a way to solve the murky mystery
surrounding Mirage's gorgeous stepbrother, Joe, and they resolve to
get to the bottom of the strange behaviour of Mirage's manager,
Simone Jones. Over the course of the "Megastar Mysteries" series,
Rosie and her friends unintentionally stumble upon other celebrity
mysteries that need solving and, much to their delight, are always
finding themselves in demand by mega stars with mega problems.
Readers will fall in love with Maff, the troubled star of rising
pop band Fusion, actress twins Paige and Shelby, teen model Angel,
soap opera star Cassie St Claire and the enigmatic new chart
sensation Songbird.
An utterly addictive and twisty thriller, full of dark family secrets
and deadly stakes. Perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying and Knives
Out.

money.

Soon she is caught in a deadly game that everyone in this strange
family is playing.
But just how far will they go to keep their fortune?
Seventeen-year-old Matt is the son of one of the most powerful
criminals in the world. But his father's world has never suited
Matt. His desire for a different life grows when he meets a boy
named Jason. Smart, chaotic, and as disinterested in a life of
crime as Matt is, the pair quickly become friends. When Jason comes
out to him, Matt thinks they have a shot at becoming more than
that, revealing a part of himself he has long repressed out of fear
of his father. As Matt and Jason's connection grows deeper, Matt
grows suspicious of his new friend's motives. He really does seem
like the perfect boy - maybe even too perfect, especially when he
starts encouraging Matt to disclose details of his father's empire.
Now Matt must figure out if he can trust his new friend, or his
father's plans for him, and must decide if he can do the impossible
and come clean about who he really is.
