Amazon Summary:
When a secret society has you in their sights, it can lead to power, privilege... or death. It's been two weeks since Polly St. James went missing. The police, the headmistress of Torrey-Wells Academy, and even her parents have ruled her a runaway. But not Maren, her best friend and roommate. She knows Polly had a secret that she was about to share with Maren before she disappeared— something to do with the elite, ultra-rich crowd at Torrey-Wells. Then Maren finds an envelope hidden among Polly's things: an invitation to the Gamemaster's Society. Do not tell anyone, it says. Maren is certain her classmates in the Society know the truth about what happened to Polly, though it's no easy feat to join. Once Maren's made it through the treacherous initiation, she discovers a world she never knew existed within her school, where Society members compete in high-stakes games for unheard-of rewards—Ivy League connections, privileges, favors. But Maren's been drawn into a different game: for every win, she'll receive a clue about Polly. And as Maren keeps winning, she begins to see just how powerful the Society's game is—bigger and deadlier than she ever imagined. They see, they know, they control. And they kill.
My Review:
15/10
Alright! Incredible. That's the first word I would use to describe this book. I was doing a little bit of a tech cleanse, and this was the first book I picked up. I went away on vacation and brought this book on the plane with me. By the time I got off the plane, I was 75% done with this book. While I wasn't reading this book, my brain kept circling back to it.
The story was interesting and kept me hooked from chapter 1. And as the story went on, my heart started beating faster. I have never read a book like this, and was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. This book also had a love triangle, and I was basically sitting back, eating popcorn (metaphorically) and getting completely lost in the story. There was so much going on, that there was never a dull moment.Even the "bad" characters, I learned to care about.
This was crammed with action, and I wish it was longer. I have never been so invested in a book like I was with this. I hope there is a book 2 coming one day. Even a week later, I am still thinking about it, I don't know how many ways I can say I loved this book. It was that good.
And please don't get me started on the plot-twists. There were so many that caught me off guard, I couldn't get enough of it.
This book is a MUST READ for fans of murder mysteries, secrets and boarding school, this is for you.
If you don't really like reading, and want to try it, and you are a fan of:
- Riverdale (earlier seasons)
- Pretty Little Liars
- Wednesday
This book is sure to keep you interested.
