From No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller Olivie Blake comes Dreamland, a hauntingly seductive gothic mystery where the glitz of Los Angeles collides with the dark shadows of the Hollywood elite.

She wanted fame. But she found secrets. And a passion that could kill.

As the summer heat lingers in Los Angeles, girls are found murdered. The Santa Ana winds are blowing a strange energy into the city and wildfire warnings are everywhere. Yet Anya Morris has other things on her mind: a TV pilot that should have been her big Hollywood break. But she lost out – and now she’s willing to risk it all . . .
Enter William de Witt, an aging movie star who offers an unusual opportunity. His son Jude’s rare health condition forces him to live as a recluse – and in exchange for spending time with him, William will grant Anya access to Hollywood’s most powerful circles.

Wealth, influence and access are all on offer within the de Witt family mansion. However, behind the gilded veneer lie decades of bloodstained secrets, and as her duties draw her deeper into their world, Anya wonders if the villa is cursed or if Jude himself is touched by the occult.

Yet there’s a dark magnetism to Jude that Anya can’t resist, despite all the warning signs. As the city’s body count continues to rise, something has to give. There’s smoke in the air. But who will strike that final, fatal match?
