Five of a Kind by Ceanmohrlass features Cheli, a superstar actress with a lifestyle to match. It includes bodyguards, a pushy agent with a sharp eye for publicity opportunities, a sharper one for her percentage of Cheli’s earnings, and too many partings from movie star husband, Alan. While he is away, working on what she hopes will be his last film, she learns of the existence of a half-sister. Alan, twenty years older than Cheli, is aware she needs her “orphan made good” image, and agent Trudy is already paying a newspaper editor to sit on the story. It makes him realise how little consideration Cheli gives him, but he resolves to rescue their relationship before it founders, though it does not include giving up his own career and visions of a beautiful ex-actress wife. Half-sister Phoebe is married to a beer-swilling lout and has rebellious teenage twin daughters. When the news breaks, she dreams of enjoying the life she believes Cheli leads. Cheli, meanwhile, plans to trap Alan into a more supportive role by tricking him into making her pregnant.
Ceanmohrlass blows the cover on the joys of the superstar celebrity lifestyle in Five of a Kind with hurricane force that leaves the reader breathless and wondering which way is up. It is fast-paced, easy to read, and satisfyingly full of surprises or, in many cases, shocks. The characters are well-drawn and some become the reader’s friend, and others do not. Anyone who enjoys magazines like OK, Hello, Celebs Now and US Weekly will find this a fascinating book. Five of a Kind will leave fans waiting for the next book by Ceanmohrlass.
