Side Effects by L.J. GreeneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ally Michels has got a job at a start-up video game developer called Jet Stream Studios which is set to shake-up the industry when its new game is launched. The company was founded by two young entrepreneurs who are as different as night and day. Julian Dannen is blonde and charming, the CEO and frontman, Marcus Abby is more like a wasp at a picnic, although his is the creative mind behind the game. Ally got the job through her uncle Dave, a Venture Capitalist who owns a stake in the business. Eager to prove her worth, Ally pipes up in a huge meeting and earns Marcus' wrath. Unbeknownst to Ally she has acted as a catalyst for a coup for control of the company, her uncle introducing her to the man who will be parachuted in over Marcus' head.
Ally might not know everything that's going on, why is Marcus pretending the game is far less advanced that she knows it is? But she knows that the game is 100% Marcus' baby and no-one works harder than him and his team.
But does Ally really know Marcus, or is he using her just as much as her uncle is?
I really enjoyed this, I had no idea it was part of a series until the bonus chapter which refers to unfinished business between Marcus and Dan so it can definitely be read as a standalone, but I have already bought the first book in the series (featuring Dan).
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
