L.A Candy

Jane Roberts has a truly sweet life: a great job, life in Hollywood, access to the hottest clubs, great friends and a spot on a new reality show LA Candy. The reader soon learns though that reality TV is not all it "appears" to be and Jane learns that her own reality is subject to editing when she gets caught up in a love triangle.
This book written by reality starlet, Lauren Conrad is a hit! As a fan of Conrad, I think she did a great job of giving us a fictional portrayal of what happens "behind the scenes." It's no wonder why Wikipedia quotes that some of the book is based on Conrad's real life. Fans of The Hills will love the little secrets she shares from the perspective of a reality TV star. I'm still working on the third book in the series, and I must say I'm hooked!

Betrayal by Danielle Steele

Popular author Danielle Steele brings to life an intruiging tale on betrayal, loss, and starting over again with her new bestseller, Betrayal.Tallie, a Hollywood director, finds out through her accountant that someone has been stealing large amounts of money from her personal account. Is it her best friend and assistant Brigitte? Is it her boyfriend and producing partner Hunter Lloyd? Or is it the accountant himself? As the story unfolds, Tallie comes to grips with reality, a family death, and a lesson on who to trust.

Although, this might be a bit much for a younger teen... older teens will enjoy the suspense and surprises told. I have never read Steele before and I really enjoyed this book!

In the Cards by Mariah Fredericks

Fredericks is my new favorite author! I must admit the theme of fortune-telling really drew me in, but there is so much more to this story than that!

Anna inherits a deck of Tarot cards and a cat named Mouli from a neighbor who has recently passed away. Although she is unfamiliar with how to use the cards, she decided to create a spread with her two best friends Eve and Sydney to determine her fate. With the high hopes of landing the boy of her dreams, winning against the uber-cool crowd, and still maintaining who she is... Anna learns a few lessons on love, friendship,and fate.
