Chasing Starlight is a young adult mystery set in 1930s Hollywood by Teri Bailey Black. I love an old Hollywood back drop and I love a good mystery so I was really excited for Chasing Starlight. It has all of the fixings for an intriguing read, and Chasing Starlight delivered all of that and more. There was even a romance woven into the story! 

In Chasing Starlight we meet our main character, Kate, who moves to Hollywood to live with her grandfather who used to be a movie star. When she gets there she basically walks right into a murder scene and off we go as she tries to gather clues and piece together what the heck happened. I really admired Kate. She has persevered through a pretty traumatic childhood, and I love how strong she is. She really doesn't let anything get her down, even though it is clear that her past events have left a mark on her. 

My biggest compliant was that I wanted to get to know all of the characters and suspects a little bit better. I felt like some of the guys that were staying in Kate's grandfather's house were just kind of around most of the time. I wanted to do a bit of a deeper dive into their heads. The mystery was good, and though it was a tad predictable at times, I still really enjoyed the adventure it took me on. The movie making process and the Hollywood backdrop made this book even more exciting for me. I loved the glamorous feel of it all. If you are a fan of mysteries and you love the vibe of an older american setting, then I think Chasing Starlight will be a great read for you to check out. I enjoyed this one!
