When she lands a big break, it seems as if the city is ready to fall under her spell - just as she seems to be falling for a handsome young stage manager. But is it her stage presence mesmerizing the audience, or something more sinister behind the scenes?

I fell in love with The hypnotic city just as soon as I read the first page. I am blown away by the relatable characters, the well written chapters. It really feels like I am there walking the streets of New York just a few paces away from Philomena and her thrilling dramatic adventure.
Philomena is a character most people would want to be; She is a strong, independent, petite , heroine that lets no one get in the way of what she wants. (She is my favorite character. )
I give this Sequel five big stars!
I would highly recommend reading the first book in this series so you understand what Philomena has been through and where she is coming from.
its about:
Philomena Blackwell survived a city plagued with monsters, the gilded cage of high society, and the rule of a heartless man… and she aims to leave it all behind.
