The Seventh Veil of Salome by Silvia Moreno-Garcia:
In 1950s Hollywood, every actress covets the star-making role of Salome in a big-budget film.
When the volatile director casts unknown Mexican ingenue Vera Larios, she becomes the talk of the town and the target of envy for Nancy Hartley, a struggling bit player desperate for fame.
Amidst the gossip, scandal, and intrigue of Golden Age Hollywood, their rivalry simmers. This tale intertwines with the story of Princess Salome, torn between duty and desire for the prophet who foretells her stepfather Herod's doom.
Before the final curtain falls, expect an abundance of tears and tragedy in this vibrant and seductive Technicolor saga.

She Started It by Sian Gilbert:
The party of a lifetime turns into a shocking surprise...
Annabel, Esther, Tanya, and Chloe were once close friends but drifted apart as adults. Despite this, their shared past keeps them connected. When they receive a surprising invitation from Poppy Greer, an old friend they haven’t seen in years, they can't resist. Poppy's extravagant bachelorette party promises a lavish getaway to a private Bahamian island.
Poppy's social media reveals she's done remarkably well for herself, so the all-expenses-paid trip seems irresistible.
But upon arrival, the island is far more isolated than expected, with no cell service or other guests. As the women face unexpected challenges, their reunion unravels, revealing dark secrets and turning their dream vacation into a nightmarish ordeal.
For fans of Lucy Foley and Liane Moriarty, this is a must-read for 2024!
