Okay, this book would make an amazing slasher movie somebody please turn this into a film immediately 🔪🔪🔪
This wasn’t a romance between two red flags this was two full psychological breakdowns falling in love 😂
Unhinged is honestly the only way to describe Hayden and Sterling.
The way Hayden fed into Sterling’s darkest desires and slowly dragged him over to the bloody side was chef’s kiss.
I really wish we got more after Sterling fully accepted who he was and embraced his role because I was not ready for their chaos to end.
3.75⭐
I enjoyed this fast-paced story of horror actor Sterling and obsessive cameraman Hayden. And I appreciated their unique dynamic. Something was missing for me, though, which is probably a personal preference thing. When it came to the unaliving aspect, there seemed to be a certain amount of carelessness involved. Typically with this type of story, there's mention of how the unalivers avoid detection. Not the case here, and I found myself repeatedly thinking of the various ways they were opening themselves up to getting caught. However if that isn't something that would bother you, then I definitely recommend checking out this addition to the In the Spotlight series.

Lights, Murder, Action is part of the multi author In The Spotlight series. Each book can be read as a standalone but why not enjoy the whole series. Please read the trigger warnings before you start as this book is wonderfully dark. This is the story of Hayden and Sterling. This is such a good dark and twisted story. We get stalking, tension, drama, miscommunication, chemistry, steam, and love. I loved all the twists, turns, and darkness that Ashlynn Mills is so good at writing. I can't wait to see what Ashlynn Mills writes next. I loved this book and would definitely recommend it.
I am loving the spotlight light collection!

A great addition to the In The Spotlight series!
Hayden is bat crap crazy.... Manipulative, underhanded and obsessed! Stalking and filming Sterling with and without him knowing... Lord have mercy! Not that Sterling is the picture of well adjusted sunshine either, that man has a couple screws loose as well and takes someone like Hayden to unleash him completely!
I loved this dark and unhinged romance! Please check trigger warnings for this book before reading! Hayden and Sterling had me saying “what the?!” and “oh Hell.o!” several times in this book. Sterling can’t understand these urges that he has but Hayden knows about them and it willing to help Sterling figure out his true calling in front of the camera. This book a lot; love, steam, tension, tension, drama, chemistry, miscommunication, deep connections and an HEA that will have you wanting more from these men. Ashlynn did a fantastic job with this book and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.
I received an ebook copy of this book and I am voluntary leaving an honest review.
