Can an up-and-coming horror actress and the makeup artist for her newest "creature feature" turn on-set chemistry into the romance of a lifetime? Lilah Silver's a young actress who dreams of climbing out of B-list stardom. She's been cast as the lead in what could be her breakout performance...but if she wants to prove herself to everyone who ever doubted her, she's going to need major help along the way. Noa Birnbaum may be a brilliant makeup artist and special effects whiz-kid, but cracking into the union is more difficult than she imagined. Keeping everyone happy is a full-time job, and she's already run ragged. And yet when the beautiful star she's been secretly crushing on admits to fears of her own, Noa vows to do everything in her power to help Lilah shine like never before. Long hours? Exhausting work? No problem. Together they can take the world by storm...but can the connection forged over long hours in the makeup chair ever hope to survive the glare of the spotlight?

Went back and forth between rating this a 2 or 3. I settled on 3 because I really loved Lilah's journey, and the setting was original and a lot of fun. It almost made me want to watch a horror movie, which is saying something. The stalker plotline was engaging, although sadly the romance was not.
Overall, it was a decent effort by a debut author, and I would like to see what she comes out with in the future.
ETA: I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was fantastic.
