Synopsis:
The name of the game is fame, and the trick is simple:
If you aren't a player... you're being played.
Isobel knows it. The Alphas know it. Yet every time they make a move, Ironside counters with two, always one step ahead, outsmarting them at every turn. Just when they grasp a lifeline, Ironside threatens to hang them with it.
They have only one choice: play the game--the real game, exactly as it was designed. With new contracts pulling them deeper into the service of the Stone Dahlia and yet another settlement tour looming on the horizon, they must execute their roles flawlessly.
It's time to dim the lights, switch on the cameras, and get down to business.
Beware the pretty players, because this social media game just levelled up.

Review:
Isobel and her Alphas are back again for more antics. She is trying to find her way through turbulent waters with her feelings growing stronger and stronger for each of the men. All the while the Stone Dahlia has leashed them all into their service with new contracts and guidelines for their places on the Ironside show. They have no choice but to obey. In a bid to stay ahead of the humans who have infiltrated the Gifted's Academy they decide on a tour through the settlements to build up their popularity. But in doing so they are also exposing themselves even more to the public, a dangerous and worrisome experience. Their lives are under a microscope and they have to toe the line all the while coming together as their group, Eleven, to put forth an album for their new record label, Orion, owned by the Stone Dahlia. They're approaching the end of their education and have to win. If they don't then their usefulness may run out and their lives be forfeited. Just another day at Ironside Academy for the group.
I am becoming ever astounded that Jane Washington continues to put out such thoroughly engrossing stories in this series that keeps me on the edge of my series. These books are not for the faint of heart as they each are well over 500 pages and hold so much up and down drama and turmoil that you feel for the group and wonder just how they are going to get over their next obstacle. From soul infractions, bonds broken and rebuilt, a government bent on using them or disposing of them if they outlive their usefulness, family drama, relationships being built slowly between Isobel and each of her Alphas, and having to pretend for the media every step of the way to be people they may not actually be to improve ratings and gain popularity... this group has more than their share on their plates. But somehow Washington has a way of pulling you in and gives you barely time to breathe a sigh of relief once one solution is found before another problem pops up. She is an evil mastermind. Her characters are so enticingly beautiful and different from each other its hard to choose one to really be thoroughly infatuated with.
I don't want the series to end. I know that all good things have to end eventually but I think that this author will become a household name for me. I plan to read even more of her stuff and hope that they are equally as good as the journey I have experienced thus far with Isobel and her men.
