Synopsis:
“She wants to be loved by you…alone!”
Daryl Beasley collects all things Maxine Marie, whose famous curves and fast lifestyle made her a Hollywood icon for decades after her tragic death. Daryl’s girlfriend, Loretta Stevens, knew about his geeky lifestyle when they started dating, but she loves him, quirks and all.
Then one day Daryl chooses to buy a particularly tacky piece of memorabilia instead of Loretta’s birthday present. Daryl ends up in the doghouse, not only with Loretta, but with Maxine Marie herself. The legendary blonde returns from the dead to give Daryl a piece of her mind—and a haunting obsession he’ll never forget.
My Thoughts:
This was quite an amusing story of a celebrity obsession going way too far.
The main character, Daryl Beasley is huge fan of classic movie starlet Maxine Marie. So much so that instead of buying his current girlfiend Loretta a birthday present he buys yet another piece of Maxine Marie memorabilia
Daryl soon finds out that this new object is actually haunted by Maxine's ghost and at first he thinks he's hit the lottery. The girl of his dreams who's been his obsession for years has just become real!
As things progress, Daryl soon discovers that dreams can turn into nightmares when Maxine's obsession with him turns deadly.
The character of Maxine Marie is clearly based on Marilyn Munroe and this story is something that is scary enough but almost realistic enough to happen if you believe that spirits can become trapped within certain objects.
It's a very fast paced and easy read that keeps you interested from beginning to end. A definite must read for fans of supernatural fiction.
