“This metafictional episode matches a funny yarn-spinner with a rain of big letters that drop into sight…a simple story emerges—one that will draw the wayward audience members back and leave them eager for more. Young would-be-writers who are likewise stuck will come away with fresh resolve.” (Booklist)

In the first book of the Shaw Confessions, the companion series to the New York Times bestselling Mara Dyer novels, old skeletons are laid bare and new promises prove deadly. This is what happens after happily ever after.

“[An] impressive first novel, set in pre-WWII Hollywood….Gates skillfully evokes a Hollywood era when the studio chiefs wielded enormous power over the lives of everyone in their orbits and would go to any length to protect their stars and big-budget movies. Glamour takes a back seat to lust, lies, and greed in this well-wrought mystery.”—Publishers Weekly

“The World of Stories is in danger, and it’s up to the offspring of famous fairy-tale characters and monsters to team up to save the day. Fairy-tale characters don’t believe in monsters, and monsters don’t believe in fairy tales.” –– Kirkus Reviews
