Everyone wants to be a Dallas Lonestars Cheerleader, but fame can have a deadly price... The Dallas Lonestars Cheerleaders are untouchable. They are the epitome of glitz and glamour, reeking of hairspray and perfection. But everything changes when America's Angel and cheerleading captain Jentry Rae Randall is found murdered in the squad's locker room. Filmmaker Nikki Keegan has the opportunity of a lifetime. Brought in to document the Lonestars' potential comeback after four disastrous seasons, Nikki is now perfectly placed to investigate the murder of the team's iconic frontwoman. Nikki turns to cheerleader Shaunette Simmons, the deceased's best friend, for help. As Nikki becomes closer to Shaunette, the more she suspects that Shaunette is hiding something. But when Shaunette is run off the road and left to die, it's clear that nobody on this cheer squad is safe. Because some people would kill to be a Dallas Lonestars Cheerleader... Marina Evans, a former NFL cheerleader herself, takes readers "behind the gloss" of this iconic American subculture in this high octane debut that is filled with twists, turns, and high kicks. Weaving between sisterhood and ambition, survival and scandal, The Cheerleader will keep you riveted until the final page.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"In her debut thriller, Evans captures the cutthroat world of professional cheerleading, where image is everything, and the strict rules are just begging to be broken. It's breezy, dishy fun."--Booklist
"Former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Evans sets her glitzy debut in the claustrophobic world of professional sports. Evans paints a bleak and fascinating portrait of the cheerleaders' grueling practice schedule and tightly restricted personal lives."--Publishers Weekly
