Description
Born to an unstable mother whose death leaves him in the clutches of a sexual predator, sixteen-year old Danny escapes from a commune in the northern Arizona desert and makes his way to Los Angeles. In short time, the spectacularly handsome teen lands a modeling contract with a small West Hollywood talent agency. Cunning and charismatic, his climb to celebrity status is meteoric. But as true A-list stardom comes within his reach, Danny is jailed for a grievous crime that neither society, nor Hollywood, can forgive. His crash and burn, and shocking re-invention, ignite a catastrophic chain of events as a crazed stranger from his past unleashes a plot to destroy him.

Advance Praise
Really enjoyed reading this book and very much hope there is more to come for Danny! Very hard to put down as I kept wanting to know what was happening next to Danny and all the thought-provoking characters developed in the book. Interesting story and I loved learning a little about what goes on behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. The story was pleasantly longer than I expected which allowed me to get to know the characters and the myriad of stories each had to offer. Would recommend the book to anyone looking for a little intrigue, fun, the human spirit mixed in with great story telling.
Legitimately could NOT put this book down. I was reading it in the pick up line, at the grocery store, and while making dinner. It is completely captivating and riveting. The book was suspenseful, with twist and turns around every corner. I woke up think about the characters, and caring for them as if they were people I knew. In fact, I’m still thinking about what going to happen next to Danny. I have the paperback on preorder so I can reread it on the beach and by the pool.

Hollywood books even in fiction is a immediate read for me. The characters and plot are very well thought out. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Interesting reading, more centered in dark storytelling, Danny Smashed is a page-turner with an LGBTQ slant. Well developed characters and an adventurous story line bring together some fascinating hours of reading pleasure. Danny or Daniel? Reinvention and self discovery and acceptance are the keys.
I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
