A TWISTED NEW ADULT ROMANCE in SIX parts. RATING E for EXTREME.
ADDITIONAL WARNING Author's note--technically RATED 18+ for epic emotional mayhem, blasphemy, anatomical accuracy, and calculated destruction of cultural icons. This story is entirely unsuitable for anybody who thinks the entertainment industry is a cotton-candy giggle-fest full of blushing ingenues, air kisses from Clooney, and plum-colored joy. The Biz is a freaking street fight on acid. If you continue reading, your motivation might be equal parts fascination, outrage, and dread. But don't worry--just like I don't dance barefoot on broken glass, I don't do tragedy. I just do raw. Class is starting, entrance below
"The Acting Class."
The fastest and most certain way to super-stardom for a young model/actor.In spite of ruthless non-disclosure agreements, all kinds of rumors and speculation have leaked like, all the actors and actresses who survive the cut make over five million their first year. They have sex on stage, while they perform. There have been three nervous breakdowns, and at least one suicide.
This class is one of the great secrets of our age.
The Acting Class is hell.
But if you survive it?
Heaven.
Fame.
Fortune.
The impossible a career.
My name is Sherri Dawn Ferrell.
That's me motivated white trash.
Good bones.
Minimal cleavage.
Maximum attitude.
"Keep it smooth," my mother used to say.
No, Mom. I'm not going to keep it smooth.
I'm going to chisel and cut and burn and scream.
Scream until my lungs rip, glass shatters, birds take flight.
I'm going to crouch in the dark and stab for the groin.
F--k keeping it smooth and dead-eyed parents.
I'm going to survive The Acting Class.
I'm going to grab for this most distant of stars.
And if I ever manage to reach it?
I'm going to squeeze it until my hands bleed.
And guess what?
I'm going to take the man I love with me.
And he's going to take me?
With him.
And this is how we're going to do it--
The Acting Class edition by DC Bell Literature Fiction eBooks
I'm not sure what this was, but I'm pretty sure I liked it!What this story wasn't: boring, normal, predictable, realistic, (back to that in a moment), or poorly written.
What this story was: funny, sad, weird and titillating.
Regarding the realistic thing: the sad stories of the main characters are all too real, but I found the director of the "class" to be unrealistic. That said, it was kind of fun to think about that director actually doing this kind of thing, and that helped to keep my attention. I wish I could say more, but spoilers lurk here.
The writing style is distinctly different. The sparse, staccato prose takes a while to get used to, but I think it contributed to the fast pace of the tale-which is impressive since it all takes place in one day of "class".
I enjoyed this story even though it is out of my comfort zone. I would recommend this short tale to readers of thrillers and romance, as well as to readers looking for something different when they fall into a genre rut. I look forward to the second in the series!

The Acting Class edition by DC Bell Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A good friend recommended this to me, and as a result I now consider her a great friend. The Acting Class is just wonderful.
I read a lot. Usually 2 or 3 books a week. Since I go through so many, I sometimes have to take chances on unknowns. I don’t mind, because my taste is a little weird and I’ll try anything once. Most of the time I read, enjoy and move on. But once in a while, a story will stick with me for one reason or another and this one did just that. I’m not sure if it was because of the characters, the 'Holy cow I can’t put it down' factor, or the lovely language that I loved it so much. No matter, the total package makes this one of a very tiny group of books I’ll be reading again for a second time. It’s that good.
I’m going to try to pay my friend’s gift forward now by recommending D.C. Bell to anyone who ever passed along a good book tip. This one is a really great find. I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
This book is real, raw and amazing. It's not sparkling vampires, sex just for sex or hot dirty spanking. It is exactly how I would imagine the acting world in NYC to be. It's like D.C and I are sitting in a café and she is just telling me a story about what happens in an actors day of life, friend to friend.
The writing is spot on and refreshing. It's not over done or over the top, it is exactly what I want in a book.
I can't wait for the next book. I want it like now. I am addicted to her writing style and I see a bright future for D.C. Bell
I bought this for my wife as a late Valentine's day card, because she loves Katherine Owen's books. My wife says "wicked fun and Shane Loring is smoking hot" I say wicked fun and a perfect snapshot of the entertainment industry and what some actors will go through in order to achieve their dreams. Also some pretty shocking moments, which kept me up reading it in one sitting, stayed up too late, so be sure that you either allow enough time to read it in one sitting or that you have a free day the next day. Amazing writing!
Not many writers have the gift of captivating readers from the very first pages. It's what all writers aim for, but few achieve. Yet, D.C. Bell has taken charge of this small literary room at the top. As a reader, I was riveted. As a writer, I was enchanted.
I received a message from this writer a while ago. One of those `will-you-please-take-a-look-at-my-work? I-love-yours' kind of notes. I usually turn these away because I'm hyper-focused on my own stuff. Selfish. Self-involved. I can't be reading other people's stuff and when I do it is `anonymously' thank you very much. All I usually say is the `call-me-when-it's-published-yada-yada' line. Yet, within the opening paragraphs, D.C. Bell captured my imagination and swept me up by essentially mirroring a rant style of writing that was reminiscent of the ever famous Gillian Flynn of "Gone Girl" fame and this writer's current literary crush. I quickly realized that I was in for a true literary experience, and treasured it fully because they are so rare. I was captivated by the first person narration and at the idea of being given a personalized tour of the famed and fabulous--a privileged glimpse into the world of acting--by the effervescent heroine of this amazing storyline, Miss Sherri Dawn Ferrell.
Sherri doesn't mess around; she'll pull readers further into the story with every word she utters.
"...I admit it, I'm addicted to the Daily Mail. I'm addicted to gossip," I say.
George smiles my way.
I relax into a collective laugh.
Excellent.
Mission accomplished.
Because guess what?
I hate gossip.
Gossip liquefies my brain, bores me to tears, but it is the conversational lubricant of my business, like men need to talk about games with sticks and balls."
Part romance, part thriller, "The Acting Class, Part 1" pulled me right in to an iridescent world providing a rare glimpse of the primped and privileged. I quickly got in line and followed Sherri through the various twists and turns of this "matrix" and fell in love with both Sherri Dawn Ferrell and this Shane Loring. Believe me, I was already there with the insanely famous actor named George. But now, we're back to Shane Loring. Shane. Loring. Say it slow. Warning You'll be crushing on Shane.
Sherri Dawn describes him this way
"And I have worked almost every day with the man to my right.
He's the first major and pulse-spiking crush of my life. A massive, ridiculous, leg-trembling crush. Cacophony of cannons. Thunder of hooves. Heart-stopping. Seriously, I'm sure I've damaged veins and valves. And yet for every moment in his presence I have been entirely and completely professional.
Because I am a professional.
And so is he.
He is a Prince.
He is "The Prince."
Not so fast. It's not easy, not 'that' easy anyway. Readers discover fairly early on in "Part 1" that not everyone is what they seem and that there may be just as many users as abusers gracing the proverbial stage and hankering for fame's light to shine upon them. Sherri's insight serves as an essential guide wire just like one we might need for a trapeze act.
"And if you think it is some kind of awesome thing to be discovered by the modeling business, by the scouts who haunt every shopping center and beauty contest, and sell you to the agencies and take a slice of your commissions?
Don't.
You may well find you are a flower.
Whose stem has been cut."
There are perceptive lines of prose such as these throughout that will literally cut you to the core. You'll be amazed and surprised. And it's not just Sherri's telling of this story that captivates, but readers may also sense the underlying deep soul of this guy, Shane Loring.
Lines like these
"You're a sweet girl. You've got some tough in you, maybe a whole lot of tough, but to me you're really kind of innocent. So don't let your feelings run away with you, Okay? And neither will I. Love. And all that stuff. It's not a good idea to fall in love in this business. That could really mess up a good working relationship. This is just a job, you know? But it's our job. And we don't want to screw it up," and he was out of that tiny dark dressing room, with just a glance over his shoulder.
"Okay. Love. And all that stuff. Yeesh. Not good. Got it."
But he was already out the door.
And the door clicked behind him.
And clicked on my soul.
Need I say any more? My prediction? Readers will be reading Part 1 of "The Acting Class" over and over and all but begging or, at the very least, chanting for the next installment. Hopefully, D.C. Bell can deliver as soon as humanly possible.
Five Stars. Hands down. More please.
A friend recommended this book and I came to it not knowing what to expect. What I got was a WOW!
Sherri Ferrel is an aspiring actress who is smart, funny, beautiful, and dangerously in love with her classmate Shane Loring. This is the Acting Class. Enter at your own risk. The big media entertainment world is glamor and glitz from the outside, and cruel games on the inside. The models and actors must do whatever it takes to survive, to win.
Sherri vows to fight like a savage to become a super-star—and she will fight like a savage for the love of her life, Shane. The question is, can she have both? As she tells us, “love is the death of ambition.”
The Acting Class is a sharp insider’s expose of this world of glamor and greed. The writing is raw and devastating. The shocks are searing. The love story wrenches the heart.
I'm not sure what this was, but I'm pretty sure I liked it!
What this story wasn't boring, normal, predictable, realistic, (back to that in a moment), or poorly written.
What this story was funny, sad, weird and titillating.
