Review: THREE DROPS OF BLOOD by Gretchen McNeil


 

Real-life treachery and drama were exploding from a teen drama series following the social media scandal posted by one of the stars. A lead on the same show, Kate Williams was not going to let the show’s cancellation stop her from becoming a serious, full-time actress, even if it wrecked her parents’ college plans for her. But because of the star’s scandal and her audition prospects being put on hold for 4 – 6 months, her 5-year acting plan was over before it even started. The only damage control Kate had was in the form of a fixer that would cost her $15K. Where would she get that kind of money?

 

With her options minimal, Kate soon gets a job at an entertainment law firm. This is where the narrative seems to drag on with nothing really to show for it. Seriously, halfway into the book and not much was happening. I mean, a teen actress’ attempt at “adulting” was fairly interesting, but I needed MUCH more than that.

 

About 60% in is when we get a shot at a double murder and Kate was a witness to it. Finally, a dead body! You’d think I’d be more riveted at this point, but all Kate does is try to prove that what she saw really happened. It’s a very long and mild read. Eh, just okay. This will be the last book that I read from this author.

 

Rating: 3 stars
