Review: Unrivaled - Alyson Noel



What do you get when you have a town full of wannabe celebrities? Ones that are willing to do anything to get their shot at fame which could lead to bigger and better things? For a group of five, they will do anything that they can. Ira Redman is the man to have an "in" with when it comes to Hollywood and LA. He is also the owner of several clubs and has a competition to help promote his clubs, kind of similar to Donald Trump's The Apprentice show.  Here we meet Layla, Tommy, and Aster. Layla is a journalist wanting to get her big shot, so she sees this as her way to the insider world of clubs and celebrities. Tommy is a musician and also Ira's secret son that not even Ira knows and Aster is a stunning ethnic girl who wants out from under her parent's control and to make it as an actress/model. On the other side of the actual celebrity world, we have Madison - a current actress who is HOT at the moment and Ryan who is her Hollywood boyfriend who also is on the way out. During the competition we read as each of the three will interact with Madison and when she disappears will become suspects in her so-called Murder. Filled with text messages of threatening to expose Madison's past - someone wants her to disappear but what will happen when they have the opportunity to use Layla, Tommy, and Aster as scapegoats? Find out in Book #1 Unrivaled which though the tagline read Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars, I found more Gossip Girl like than Pretty Little Liars and had hoped that in this book we could have got a deeper look into Madison's past, but let's hope that happens in Book #2 Blacklist.
