From Beverly Hills bedrooms to a raunchy prowl along the streets of Hollywood from glittering rock parties and concerts to stretch limos and the mansions of power brokers-Jackie Collins chronicles the real truth from the inside looking out. There have been many imitators, but only Jackie Collins can tell you what really goes on in the fastest lane of all. A recently released psycho-killer, erotically propelled by blood-lust, is determined to wreak havoc and revenge on the kids’ lives. However, life among the rich means life among the damned. Though their attitudes are large enough to fill any room, these offspring of privilege are all desperately trying to figure out what to do with themselves. These Hollywood kids have been given everything money can buy except a raison d’être. When you’ve got your family’s great looks, and you’re always driving next year’s hottest sports car, and work isn’t necessary because you’ve got a wallet filled with the sky’s-the-limit credit cards - why fight it? “The group had grown up together, sharing the experience of too much too soon,” Collins writes. Shep Worth, the effeminately beautiful son of a sex-symbol mother, who won’t publicly acknowledge her age, is a man who won’t publicly acknowledge his alternative sexual preference. Barely recovered from anorexia, she invents one phobia fast on the heels of the last one in order to keep her television magnate father’s attention. Marjory Sanderson is a dreamy-eyed head case. Not satisfied with the number of starlets he can get on his own, he agrees to “test-run” women for Cheryl’s fledgling entrepreneurial venture for a fee. Grant Lennon, Jr., the son of the last generation’s wildly handsome icon, is a junior agent at International Artists Agents. Pandering to the rich and famous goes so smoothly that she can’t resist turning a trick herself. Cheryl fills her days doing lunch and buying up Rodeo Drive until a Hollywood Madam asks her to mind shop while she’s out of town. Jordanna’s best friend, Cheryl Landers, is a sassy, leggy redhead, who is equally idle. Even though she flaunts a coltish bad-girl image, Jordanna yearns for more than lounging behind the velvet ropes in chi-chi clubs and existing on a diet of Midnight Cowboys. Jordanna Levitt is the wildly beautiful daughter of a powerful producer and legendary movie star mother. In Hollywood Kids Jackie Collins takes her readers back to the Hollywood Hills for another absorbing page-turner of sex, ambition, and deadly revenge.Īt the novel’s core is the Hollywood Five, a clique of jaded twenty-somethings whose parents (all major players) thought that child-rearing ended with naming their offspring after themselves. Wherever there’s money and glamour, trouble can’t be too far behind.
