From Goodreads
A new Head of Sales and Marketing, the scary Lori Kerwell, has arrived at the station and started to build her power base. Lori soon joins forces with the News Editor, who hates Liz for knowing his explosive secret. Liz must fight to retain control of the show. Meanwhile at home Liz has started to date again, but her 15-year-old daughter deeply resents the new man in her life. In this gripping novel of power, rivalry, and backstabbing, Jane Lythell draws on her years of working in the glamorous, pressurized world of live TV.
My thoughts
I gave this a 4 stars or 8/10.
This book had been sat on my TBR pile for some time. I borrowed a copy of it from my local Library. After having recently read and enjoyed Woman of the Hour, the first in the StoryWorld series by this Author I bumped this book up. It made sense to read the book sooner rather than later in order to follow the story on and find out what fate had in store for Liz and her teenage daughter.
Liz has her work cut out, when a new employee is taken on by the TV station that she works at. It's not long before Lori the new Head of Sales and Marketing is colluding with someone that Liz has certain knowledge about that he would rather was kept hidden. Like many of us know, 'Knowledge can be Power' can Liz use that knowledge to her advantage or not? Meanwhile, in her private life things are on the up for Liz as she begins a new relationship, but her daughter isn't overly happy at this new scenario. Will things work out for Liz both professionally and personally?
This was a great read that continued on where Woman of the Hour left off. Jane Lythell writes well about the power struggles and problems that are encountered in the world of live TV, she draws on past experience and weaves a great story full of secrets, backstabbing and troubled relationships both at work and in the private lives of the characters.
