Spotlight and Giveaway: Hello Juliet

Introduction by Melissa Amster

We're excited to help Samantha M. Bailey celebrate the publication of her fourth suspense thriller, Hello, Juliet! I really enjoyed this one and it kept me guessing the entire time. You can find my review here. My casting choice for Ivy led me to find out that Samantha was a fan of The Sex Lives of College Girls (which is sadly not returning). So we've had fun chatting about that show recently. Speaking of TV, if you grew up enjoying teen drama shows (or watch them now as a guilty pleasure), you'll appreciate Hello, Juliet even more! Samantha has one copy to share with a lucky reader!

Ivy Westcott fled LA as her acting career imploded. In a flash, she lost her first love and chosen family―her Hello, Juliet castmates. But she never discovered who turned her closest friends against her. Now the whole world knows her as #PoisonIvy.

A decade later, Ivy is horrified when a celebrity exposé thrusts the Hello, Juliet cast back into the limelight, dredging up the old scandals she hoped to escape. Desperate for a fresh start and some financial stability for her mother and manager, Ivy agrees to participate in a top-secret reunion episode.

Ivy’s poised for a comeback, but past betrayals become a present danger when she and the man who once broke her heart find their costar dead.

Determined to find justice and clear her name, Ivy must tear down the facades of cast and crew to uncover chilling secrets that have plagued the Hollywood set from day one. Or she could be the next to die. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

“Bailey perfectly captures the hunger for fame and the desperate measures some will take to achieve it, while also delivering a story filled with twists and surprises. A top-notch, single-sitting read.” 
―Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of The Paris Widow

“Hello, smash hit. Briskly paced and packed with suspense and twists, Hello, Juliet is the escape every thriller reader deserves.” 

―Jaime Lynn Hendricks, bestselling author of A Lovely Lie

“Hello, Juliet by Samantha M. Bailey is a wickedly unputdownable thriller teeming with secrets, suspense, and sly revelations. Not to be missed!” 

―Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of Everyone Is Watching
