Summary: Naaaaah.
Review: A lot of potential went to waste with this series. I get the feeling she sort of made it up as she went along. Well, ok, maybe she does that in other cases, but it shouldn't read that way. The character based on Pamela Anderson Lee was the best thing about it, though of course she's not around for the whole thing. But I figured out who the killer was by the end of the second installment, and I also figured out who the first, second, and so on murder victims would be. There used to be a time when characters in her novels would suddenly meet an unpleasant fate exactly when you least expect it. I'm reminded of the key character in one of her previous, vastly superior novels (forget the character's name or the title, so it won't be a spoiler) is on her way to an important event and suddenly gets killed in a head-on collision, just like that. You totally didn't see it coming, and that's one of the things I love most about her writing. Also, you think these could have been great cliff hangers. There have been times in the past when I was reading her novels and you couldn't tear me away from reading them with a crowbar. Ms. Collins could have used that to her advantage here, but didn't--this series was just tired and rehashed, though it could have been worse. Once you read her better books, such as the Lucky saga, you get a taste of how totally brilliant and massively entertaining she can be. Then you get something like this and it's so dissapointing in comparison.

Summary: Excellent
Review: As always Jackie has written an excellent book. I'm waiting for her new release in July

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Starts off great, but the ending is a letdown
Review: I didn't even know Ms. Collins had written this book. I was browing my local supermarket and discovered it. The story begins interestingly enough, and the suspense sort of carries you through the book. However, Ms. Collins did not fully develop characters to their full potential. For instance, Cole, the gay character who was supposed to know so many secret details about the players of Hollywood, was never "fleshed" out regarding his knowledge of said people. The ending was rushed too much. She tied everything up so quickly that she didn't go into enough detail about the main characters and how they got to the ending point.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Series
Review: I enjoyed reading this series. Borrowed the books from the library and was only able to get three of them and went to a used book store to get the copy the library was missing. I had to get the copy so I could finish the series. It was worth the running around. I donated the copy to the library so everybody else could enjoy the series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book
Review: I have to admit it is not one of her best books, but I enjoyed this one. It was a fast read, and I liked most of the characters. Definitely worth the money for the single book, considering the expense of buying the 4 individual books. (I hate when authors do that)!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Enjoyable Easy Read
Review: I read a lot of Jackie Collins' books. The thing I like about her books is they are easy reads, entertaining about Hollywood and right to the point. I recommend this book. I had it read quickly and was entertained to the end.

Summary: I LIKED IT!!
Review: I thought this books is pretty good. Since it was written to be 4 separate books what i didnt like was that in the beggining of everybooks she would talk about the one that i just finished. Overall her characters were well illustrated in my mind by the way that jackie collins had intended.

Rating: 4 stars
