Review: Childstar 1

Childstar 1 by J.J. McAvoy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!!!

I’m selfish.
I’m a liar.
I’m immature.
My life feels like I’m spinning out of control every single day.
I’m a child star.

Childstar 1 is the first part of a 3 part series. Once I started reading this, I flew through it and read it cover to cover in about an hour or so. I couldn’t put it down. I am so fascinated by these two child stars, their connection, their story, and the direction it’s going to take. I usually don’t read a ton of these novellas/serials. I read one a while back and the author made us wait over 9 months for an installment (insanity!) but knowing these have set release dates (10/27, 11/10 and 11/17) I was okay with jumping in! I’m so happy I did.

Amelia London is America’s sweetheart and a well known child star. She wants to break away from that title and jump into something new. A popular book to movie called Sinners Like Us. The role is something totally new for her, and it’s exactly what she needs. The only problem… the male lead has already been cast. And it’s none other than her ex and another child star, Noah Sloan.

My first kiss? Noah.
My first time? Noah.
My frist heartbreak? Noah.

Noah Sloan is America’s bad boy. But he’s so much more than that! Just wait until you read his side of things… Noah has not surprisingly been cast as Damon (the bad boy) in Sinners Like Us. He is a fan favorite. When he hears Amelia is being cast as Blair, he has mixed feelings. He’s not sure how he’s gong to deal with seeing her again. About playing her love interest. With Noah, things aren’t always as they seem.

Even after all of these years, Amelia London was still my kryptonite, and she still didn’t know it.

The secrets, the lies, the betrayal…. Gah! I am so intrigued by the start of this series and cannot wait for the next installment! I love reading stories like this! The entire time I was reading I was thinking about one of my favorite series being turned into a movie and the process etc. Then at the end when some bombs were dropped I was like what? JJ McAvoy always seems to surprise me in her books. Even ones like this, that would seem predicable, she comes out with something I didn’t see coming. Overall, I loved this one lots and I NEED MORE :)

All of my best memories were of him… of us.

Everyone thinks Luna Harvey is a good girl, but she has a dark secret. She’s a kleptomaniac. For years, Luna has managed to keep her secret from everyone, until one day she slips up and almost gets caught. Fortunately, Grey Sawyer steps in and saves her from getting into trouble.

Grey Sawyer is one of the most popular guys in school and hasn’t always been nice to Luna. While she’s grateful he helped her out, Luna worries he’ll tell everyone her secret and her good girl reputation will be ruined.

Grey understands Luna’s situation more than she realizes, though, because he has a secret of his own. One he desperately wants to tell Luna. But with their rocky past, he knows he’ll have to get her to trust him first and show Luna he’s not the guy he used to be.

He reaches out and molds his hands around mine, bringing me the smallest amount of comfort. “Can you do me a favor? The next time something happens when you feel that pressure, can you talk to me first before you do anything?”

“You really want me to keep talking to you after what I just told you?”

“You think I’d stop liking you because you steal sometimes?” He shakes his head in disbelief. “Luna, I let my friends torture you for years. If anything, you shouldn’t be sitting here, talking to me.”

Jessica Sorensen is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author from the snowy mountains of Wyoming. When she's not writing, she spends her time reading and hanging out with her family.

Trihn sighed and sank back into her seat just as the first ballerina floated on stage. As she reveled in the performance, Preston ran his hand up her arm and to her shoulder, sending shivers down her spine. She glanced over and him and he had this dirty smirk on his face. He wasn’t even watching the ballet. His eyes were solely trained on her.

She swallowed and stared back at the ballet in front of her, but her attention was torn. His fingers brushed her long tresses off her neck. The palm of his hand pushed flat against her skin and up into hair. He pulled it gently, and as her head dipped backward, her eyes closed of their own accord.

With his other hand, he laced their fingers together, bringing her hand to his lips. He tenderly kissed each knuckle before drawing her thumb gently between his teeth. She inhaled deeply.

He seemed to be enjoying himself as he kneaded the muscles in her neck. He leaned forward toward her and planted a soft kiss on the sensitive skin.

“Keep your eyes open. You don’t want to miss a second of this,” he breathed softly.

Dear God! He was teasing her. This was sweet blissful torture.

She could hardly concentrate. Keeping up with two things at once, when one was tempting her with everything she wanted, was harder than it seemed. She was glad that as the ballet drew to a close that she had seen it before or else she would have been entirely lost to what was happening much of the performance.

His touch was captivating, and she found she was a lost cause when it came to this man. She hadn’t just forgotten the ballet that was in front of her face; the world had disappeared all around her. In a sea of people, there was just him.

The curtain dropped unexpectedly, bright lights flooded the auditorium, and Trihn jolted upright. Preston sat up straight as if he hadn’t just been working her into a frenzy with the lightest touches imaginable. The smirk on his face was the only indication that anything was amiss.

As the curtain was raised and the dancers began to take their bows, Trihn rose on shaky legs to give the ballet that she couldn’t remember a standing ovation. Preston stood by her side, applauding. They clapped until everyone left the stage and people started filing out.

She exited into the aisle, and Preston grabbed her hand again.

“Hey, we’re not done,” he said. The words were suggestive and were accented by his hand squeezing around her waist.

“Oh?” she managed to get out.

“Come on. I think you’ll like this surprise better.”

“Why is that?” she asked.

“Because I like to finish the things that I start.”
