After reading 'Call me Star Girl' by this author I knew I wanted to read more of her work and after meeting Louise at the Orenda Road Show and hearing her read an extract of this I knew I HAD to read this book!!

This is the story of Chloe Dee, a theatre usher who longs to be on stage but feels she is not good enough, that she is one of those blend into a crowd kind of girls and not a leading lady. She is working in a theatre where she first saw the musical 'Dust', a musical which she knew all the words for and sparked her love for the stage but also the production where the star of the show was murdered on the fourth night! Now, 20 years later, the show is coming back but is history going to repeat itself?

Let me start off by telling you that this author knows how to hook you in so if you hoping to just read a few pages before bed then just be prepared to be up all night! The chapters are short and sharp and feed you just enough information to make you NEED to read the next chapter and then just the one after that...

This book was brilliant and utterly bewitching! The characters were well though out and perfectly placed, I thoroughly enjoyed the suspense of not knowing if there was an actual magical/haunted element or if Chloe was just imagining things and I also love that Louise also really gets social media, the importance of it in today's world and yet how toxic it can be. This author does not shy away from real life issues either, a trait that I noticed in Call me Star Girl and again in this book. I really appreciate that the character's flaws and and mental illness are not glossed over or romanticised for the reader.

This is a fantastic book and the second one of Louise Beeches books to blow me away (is it too cheesy to say like dust?!), I have not read a bad book from this publisher either and I am adding them both to my auto buy list!
