#fashion Victim by Amina Akhtar

Anya is a fashion editor obsessed with Sarah and wants to be her best and only friend especially as Sarah could be in line for her job and so befriending her keeps her close enough to be able to keep a close eye on the competition as there's six weeks until the best girl wins...

When one of the other girls at their work turns up dead however, obviously the police are involved and start to question everyone after its obviously a murder, even trending online under the title hashtag whilst we see Anya's character is not at all nice, in fact she's violent and sneaky as well as only ever looking out for herself to the point her past is hidden away...

With multiple murders they use online for news while the magazine staff all have to stay looking their fittest by seeing a Dr. M whom works with them all to achieve their best looks wise and gives them probably unnecessary prescriptions.

There's the usual work drama working for a magazine and writing articles to deadlines, gaining online traffic etc. But there's also the murderous side to one of the girls we see whom leads to a shocking conclusion of the book which I enjoyed but left me wondering just what would happen next? No one's safe still aren't they worried even a little?

Besides that, it was a good book, if a little stale in some parts, I would've liked more action and maybe the staff members trying to figure out who it is a doing the killings rather than assuming once the finger was pointed with persuasive evidence at one person over another and they believed it easily enough too, not doubting a thing. I would still be uneasy over it all happening so close but still the main mystery kept me reading wanting to know who did it all and I wasn't let down with the last quarter of the book at all it was the better part to me at least.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
