Description
USA TODAY bestselling author of The Givenchy Code Julie Kenner reloads for her second novel of high-heeled thrills as another woman gets pulled into a mysterious world of extreme gaming where she must play or die. Aspiring actress Jennifer Crane knows all about games--the games girls play to get a guy; the games actresses play to land a part; and the good old game of credit-card roulette. (How else is a girl supposed to afford her shoes?) But she never expected to be playing a game with show more life-or-death consequences. Unable to successfully score an acting gig, she has, instead, been cast in the role of reluctant bodyguard to a real-life assassin's target-- a dashing FBI agent of all people!--and must embark with him upon a scavenger hunt across Manhattan in search of the ultimate prize: survival. Before this, Jenn's definition of fighting dirty has been elbowing her way to the front of the line at a Manolo sample sale. Now, if she wants to stay alive, she's going to have to learn a few new uses for her stilettos...and they ain't pretty. Fast, flirty, and full of great footwear, The Manolo Matrix is another electrifying adventure in this breakout series for fashionistas who love a perfectly appointed mystery. show lessTags

I really liked this book. Some of the scenes were a little weak, the thoughtless shopping sprees for some reason bugged me, maybe because I am a little jealous? :0)
In the end it was a very good thriller. I love that Kenner's books always have a light side with a happy ending.

Read this in one night -- good stuff!
La aspirante a actriz Jennifer Crane sabe todo acerca de los juegos: los juegos que juegan las chicas para conseguir un chico, los juegos que juegan las actrices para conseguir un papel y el buen viejo juego de la ruleta con tarjeta de crédito. Pero nunca esperó estar jugando un juego con consecuencias de vida o muerte. Incapaz de obtener con éxito un trabajo en algún musical, Jenn se mete en el papel de guardaespaldas del objetivo de una asesina de verdad. Su protegido es un agente del FBI, con el que se embarcará en una frenética carrera contrareloj por Manhattan en busca del premio definitivo: la supervivencia.
