WHAT THE BODY WANTS
About
For ten years, rising Hollywood actress Celeste has mutilated evil men without detection, thanks to back-up provided by her best friend and reluctant co-conspirator Eleanor. But on the eve of Celeste’s first big movie premiere, an anonymous threat arrives, putting their vigilante operation, and their freedom, at risk. Eleanor begs Celeste to lie low, but Celeste’s bloodthirst has morphed into something unmanageable. The best friends race to identify their blackmailer and divert the cops from uncovering who is maiming Hollywood’s elite men; assuming Eleanor can staunch Celeste’s craving for vengeance and amputation.
WHAT THE BODY WANTS is a cathartic female rage novel, set amongst the backdrop of current, real travesties like the Motherless scandal and the unprosecuted Epstein Files. This story is perfect for fans of writers like Oyinkan Braithwaite, Andrea Bartz, Monika Kim, Eliza Clark, and CJ Leede, and interrogates a justice system where survivors are shamed while predators of heinous crimes evade punishment over and over again.
