This book may have been my favorite of the Heather Wells mysteries. Heather's past as an ex-pop star comes more into the front of this story, which gives it more depth and gives some side characters a lot more interesting personalities than they seemed to have originally. When she was a rich and famous teenie pop star, Heather dated the son of her record producer, Jordan Cartwright, but they broke up when she found out he was cheating on her with their new up-and-coming star, Tania Trace (and that's when she left the whole music scene altogether). But now she's engaged to Jordan's brother, Cooper (who's not much in touch with his family) and turns out that Tania Trace's tween rock star summer camp is happening in Heather's dorm over the summer, so she has to deal with Tania and all of Jordan's family--while trying to figure out who is trying to kill Tania and almost succeeding.
The thing I really liked about this book was how it stopped portraying Tania and Jordan as one-dimensional, ditzy, boring characters, and showed that they had souls and insecurities and that they were human. She'd always thought of them as idiots and only caring about superficial things, but as she (and we) got to know them and Tania's past, they became much more sympathetic characters--which I felt made the story so much more interesting. The mystery was pretty creepy and realistic too, with the creepy stalker-type factor, so I thought this book added an interesting twist to the series.
