Autumn Books Preview :#Fashion Victim by Amina Akhtar

Fashion Victim is like fashion itself, cut throat, vicious and murderous… Because that’s exactly what working in the fashion industry is like. Anya St Clair is a girl with a mission. She has worked incredibly hard throughout her career to make it to the top. To work at exclusive fashion magazine La Vie, she has to be at the top of her game all of the time. And she is – but whenever she looks at her life, she feels like something is missing. Something that her fabulous colleague Sarah has to be precise – the perfect look, perfect job, and the perfect clothes. The perfect everything. But when Anya has to go up against her for a promotion, things venture from being competitive to violent and Anya has a whole lot of bigger problems on her mind.

Fashion victim is a hilariously fun story that looks at when fashion goes too far. When stillettos are more than shoes and cutting edge becomes dangerous. It’s all the better when you take into account that Amina Akhtar has worked for countless  fashion magazines and publications. This is someone with insider information. And that makes her imaginary venture into that world so much better. You’ll love every minute of it.

I became a professor of writing and literature, and certainly the fact that I enjoyed reading and writing had an impact on that path, but it took a while to imagine that I could actually do those things as a career.
