My Review - Secrets of the A-List - Book 1 - (6/9/17)

Secrets of the A-List - Book 1 of 12 - By Joss Wood

5☆ Intriguing, Mysterious, full of secrets.

Secrets of the A List is the 1st instalment of 12 parts.
Wow what a first instalment. Plenty of Secrets, Lies, Power, Hidden Agendas, Secret Passionate Liaisons and a Possible Attack.

The Marshall family hold alot of power and wealth and are not people to be crossed.

So when head of the family Harrison is involved in a very serious car crash. He's left fighting for his life. With no one around to say what happened.


It's here we first make contact with 'The Fixer' .
He knows Harrison very very well. Who is he and why does he think this accident is a repercussion of something they have done.

We learn 'The Fixer ' is a very dangerous, secretive, in the shadows kind of guy.
He is not a man to be messed with.
But know this.... He is calling ALL the shots! 
He is in CHARGE!!

Harrison's wife Mariella, is beside herself with worry. But will never show fear or emotion as that is not the Marshall way.
She comes across as cold but I don't think she really is. It's just her way.

The Marshall family are one messed up family.
The brothers  Luc (The Oldest) and Rafe (The youngest) are at logger heads.

Luc is a cosmetics surgeon who appears to be very grounded, reliable, very close to his Dad, but not his Mum.
Hates he's brother because of he's carefree nature and he's close relationship with their Mum.

Rafe is the talented one who can turn his hand to just about anything.
He adores his mum, but never feels good enough for his Dad. Especially when He came out as being Gay.
 He helps he's mum with the family business but never lasts long doing anything.
He comes across as disjointed, craving attention, miserable.

Then we have Elana, now she's going to be a very interesting character.
She works when she feels like it, within the family business.
She is the dark horse of the family.
She craves attention, sex, lust, power and comes across as very spoilt, selfish, an attention seeker, not happy, broken, but a very colourful character.
I can't wait to discover more about  Elana.

Even whilst their Father Harrison fights for he's life. The children can't help but fight over responsibility, money and power.

Then we meet Gabe.
Gabe is going to be a very interesting and intriguing character.
He is the cousin.
But only Elana gets on with him.
Both brothers resent him for being so involved with the family business even though he is not blood.

So many little stories unfolding all around. While Harrison fights to stay alive.

The Fixer is the character I'm most excited about.
Who is he and why is he calling all the shots behind the families back.
Why is he called The Fixer?

The story so far is unfolding at a nice pace.
It's nice and short just 5 Chapters long.
But in those short chapters alot is crammed in.
Little teasers throughout the book without giving too much away.

The ending was left exactly in the right place. A perfect ending ready to begin the next book.

I can't wait to find out more about the Marshalls .
I have a strong feeling there is going to be a whole lot more,Drama, Lies, Secrets, sex, dangerous liaisons, and mystery.

I think this is the perfect read for those who love Mystery, Drama, Scandal, Secrets, Love & Lust.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mills and Boon Insider for giving me the chance to read this beautiful book and review voluntarily.
