About The Book:


A darkly thrilling take on the fashion world, #FashionVictim is Heathers meets The Devil Wears Prada.

“#FashionVictim is sick and vicious and funny and voicey… I ‘totes’ loved this one.”
―Caroline Kepnes, New York Times bestselling author

Fashion editor Anya St. Clair is on the verge of greatness. Her wardrobe is to die for. Her social media is killer. And her career path is littered with the bodies of anyone who got in her way. She’s worked hard to get where she is, but she doesn’t have everything.

Not like Sarah Taft. Anya’s obsession sits one desk away. Beautiful, stylish, and rich, she was born to be a fashion world icon. From her beach-wave blonde hair to her on-trend nail art, she’s a walking editorial spread. And Anya wants to be her friend. Her best friend. Her only friend.

But when Sarah becomes her top competition for a promotion, Anya’s plan to win her friendship goes into overdrive. In order to beat Sarah…she’ll have to become her. Friendly competition may turn fatal, but as they say in fashion: One day you’re in, and the next day you’re dead.

 

Editorial Reviews:


Praise for #FashionVictim:

#FashionVictim is sick and vicious and funny and voicey… I ‘totes’ loved this one.”
―Caroline Kepnes, New York Times bestselling author“Hilariously funny as well as profoundly unsettling . . . will keep readers hooked and laughing, if a bit uncomfortably, from Page 1 until the shocking ending.”
Kirkus“Full of suspense, social satire, and deliciously dark humor, #FashionVictim gives ‘killer wardrobe’ a whole new meaning. I couldn’t put it down.”
―Alison Gaylin, USA Today Bestselling Author of If I Die Tonight#FashionVictim is sharp, stylish, and gleefully sinister; you’ll never read Vogue the same way again.”
―Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks, founders of Go Fug Yourself and authors of the national bestseller, The Royal We

#FashionVictim gives new meaning to the phrase “Dressed to Kill”… instead of the devil wearing Prada, she’s wearing her victim’s blood in a perfect shade of Essie red.”
― Aliza Licht, EVP marketing & communications and the author of Leave Your Mark

“Every page of #FashionVictim pops with a dark and dishy verve. Fierce in every sense of the word.
―Jessica Tom, author of Food Whore

#FashionVictim is a book to not only buy, keep and read, but to inhale from page one. The sense of menace in the prologue will hook readers from the get-go, and Akhtar’s sharp as a tack writing will carry you along this entertaining read to a stunning end, um, ending.”
―New York Journal of Books

Gleefully bloodthirsty . . . This dark novel has the energy of Heathers gone 20-something.”
Publishers Weekly

“The characters reminded me a great deal of the dark movie, Heathers… A whole lot of sick fun… All I can hope is that the author was not speaking from reality…and that another book will be written very, very soon.”
Suspense Magazine
