I finished reading Lights, Camera, Action last night. It’s the first book in Heather Silvio’s “Paranormal Talent Agency” series.The main character is talent agent Catherin Rodham.

Catherine is happy working in NYC for Peterson Talent Agency, but when her boss offers her the chance to launch a branch office in Vegas, she seizes the opportunity. In very short order, she has rented an office suite, met domineering councilwoman Barbara Knollwood, and set up interviews. One of the first actors she places is Alex Moore, a devastatingly handsome man whom Catherine struggles to keep at a professional distance. After a young actress, who was part of the film that Catherine helped cast, is murdered, Alex becomes a person of interest. Now it’s up to Catherine to join forces with him to prove his innocence. Along the way, Alex introduces Catherine to a paranormal subculture she had no idea existed. The odd thing is, Catherine may be more connected to the paranormal than she thinks.

This was entertaining, but it all seemed quite rushed. Characters and plot were okay. I believe this series may be a spin-off of something else(?), which means some things were never really explained. I found that vexing. I also wasn’t too keen on the insta-connection, although the author didn’t try to put a bow on it and treat it like insta-love.
