Really Dead
Novel, Women’s Fiction/Mystery
Reality TV is all fun and games until someone winds up really dead. Which is exactly what happens amid the snowy peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains where the crew of the dating show Cabin Fever have assembled a fresh cast of hot young singles ready to mingle. With the help of a rookie PA and cocky host, head producer Bex orchestrates tons of good on-camera drama including juicy hook ups, not-so-secret rendezvous and even a nasty nose-breaking sucker punch. But, as we follow along through the POVs of contestants and staff, we see things start to come apart at the seams. Secrets are revealed and contestants lose their cool, culminating in a death that no one saw coming. Which of our characters won’t make it off the mountain alive? And more importantly, who sealed their fate?
