A Little of Chantelle Rose starts out as a girl gets a lucky break and moves to Hollywood style book. It then get’s a lot more intriguing with multiple mysteries. A book being unpredictable is a breath of fresh air recently.
I received the synopsis from Jenny at Neverland Blog Tours so long ago that when it came to reading this book I was going in blind. I thought it was going to be a romance book with added Hollywood glamour. Which as many of you know, doesn’t sound like my normal reads. But, A Little of Chantelle Rose really brought me around in the mystery aspect in the middle of the book.
The characters are very stereotypical. Chantelle is a naive yet brash south London girl. Lionel is a Hollywood star. Gabby is an LA fitness kind of girl. Robbie is a countryside guy. But underneath this, they’re all written as complex and complicated. They all have their own motives, interests and most of all differing relationships between each other.
The suspects for the ‘mysterious’ aspect are always justifiable, yet in the end I was able to guess who it really was. Which I love. Being able to solve the mystery is the best part of reading books with a mystery. At least it is for me. Anyone else?
I thought this was a standalone book, but the ending leaves a very big question. One the one hand, it’s great as you get to choose what you think ‘should’ happen from your viewpoint. But on the other hand, I’m very fussy and I like to know everything. So the ending me sit up in a ‘WHAT?’ kind of way.
Overall the book was an entertaining read – and it allowed me to procrastinate my revision well.
A big thank you to Cristina Hodgson and Jenny from Neverland Blog Tours for sending me A Little of Chantelle Rose* as an e-book. As always this is an honest and unbiased review.
