Always Watching

   I read a new book called Always Watching by Brandylin and Amberley Collins. This book was about a girl whose mother was a famous singer, and they were always on the road. One night at a concert the main character, Shaley, is backstage with her mom’s hairdresser. They are talking and having a good time when he leaves to go get something. Shaley ends up waiting for him to come back for an hour so she decides to go find him. When she walks into one of the offices she finds him dead on the floor with a bullet hole in his eye. Everyone gets questioned about it and Shaley has to go pick up her friend Brittany from the airport. They talk about what happened and they go stay in the hotel.

   The next day they go shopping and the paparazzi finds them and they have to leave. Someone slips a picture into Shaley’s bag and it scares her. The next day, Brittany’s mom makes her come home so Shaley is alone with the band. She goes to bed and wakes up to hear gunshots. She runs out in the hallway and finds her bodyguard dead. She suspects that her other bodyguard is the one doing the killing so she runs when she hears him coming. He tries to call to her to get her to stop but she just keeps running down the stairs. When she gets to one of the lower levels, her bus driver shows up in an elevator and tells her to come with him. They go down into the basement and he pulls a gun on her. She realizes with horror that he’s the killer and tries to escape. Her bodyguard is on the other side of the door and she kicks her bus driver, barely making it out on time.

   The story ends with the bus driver being arrested and her mother decides to devote more time to her and not to her performances.
