Fashionista by:Micol Ostow

Relased: August 25,2009

Publisher: Simon Pulse

3.5 stars


Summary: Madison feels plenty guilty for sneaking around behind Spencer`s back with Spencer`s longtime boyfriend,Tyler. But what spencer doesn`t know cant hurt her,right? Too bad nothing at Bradford stays secret for long....



Review: I was very disappointed with this book. I thought it was going to be better than it was. I loved Golden Girl but Fashionista made me annoyed. I found most of the characters annoying. The only characters I liked were C.J., Dalton,Regan,and Kayleen. (It seemed like everybody hated Kayleen,but I liked her.) This book made me kinda hate Madison and Tyler. I kinda liked Spencer and I just hated Paige and Jeremy.



I Loved the blog format though. I also liked how you got to see more characters in the book. Such as Tyler and Kayleen. They weren`t really in Golden Girl. Overall,it was OK but I wanted a little more. I`ll still read Scandalous though

Unbelievable by Sara Shepard


Unbelivable by: Sara Shepard
Released: June 1,2008
Publisher: Harper Collins


5.0 stars




Summary: Behind Rosewood`s grand facades,where the air smells like apples and Chanel No.5 and infinity pools sparkles in landscaped backyards,nothing is as it seems. It was here,back in seventh grade that five best friends shared everything--Seven jeans,MAC makeup,and their deepest,darkest secrets. For Aria,Spencer,Hanna,and Emily,it was a dream come true...until Alison,the most beautiful of them all,suddenly vanished. Now someone named A has turned their charmed lives into a living nightmare. Emily has been shipped off to her hyper-Conservative cousins in Iowa. Aria is stuck living with her dad and her home-wrecker girlfriend. And Spencer fears she has something to do with Alison`s murder. But Hanna`s fate is far worse than all of that--she`s clinging to life in the hospital,because she knew too much. With A`s threats turning dangerous and Ali`s killer still on the loose,the girls must uncover the truth--about A,about Ali,and about what happened to Hanna--before they become A`s next victims. But as they unravel Rosewood`s mysteries and secrets,will it bring an end to this horror...or is this just the beginning?








Review: WOW!! This book was amazing! Sara Shepard has to be one of my most favorite authors now. She is simply amazing. I liked how they put more of Mona in the book. I kinda like her now. I used to hate her but this book made me like her more. I can`t put it in any words. It was just simply amazing. From the beginning to the end I was hooked. I read in about two days. This has to be my favorite book in the series now. Just make sure you read the first three books first which are Pretty Little Liars,Flawless,and Perfect. Or else you might be very confused.

Invitation Only by Kate Brian


Invitation Only by:Kate Brian
Released:November 7,2006
Publisher:Simon Pulse
4.5 stars

Reed Brennan`s future is looking as bright as the two-karat diamonds in her new housemates` ears. being accepted to the most prestigious private boarding school in the country wasn`t enough for Reed. She had to break every rule to do it,but she has accomplished the impossible:

Reed is a Billings Girl now.

And with her new status comes respect,envy,and most important,opportunity. Not to mention the parties. Unfortunately,at the next illicit party in the Easton campus woods,her roommate snaps of Reed in more than one compromising position. She uses the photos to blackmail Reed:Dig up dirt on the most powerful and popular Billings Girl or she will have Reed expelled.

And speaking of parties,the Legacy is coming up. It`s the invitation-only Halloween Party in NYC and it`s rumored that Thomas--Reed`s MIA boyfriend--will be making an appearance there. Too bad Reed isn`t even close to invited.

Life as a Billings Girl is every bit as glamorous as Reed imagined. What she didn`t bargain for is the tangled web of private lies these girls weave. (summary from Amazon)

Review: Wow! This book was great. It keeps you occupied and always wondering. It also had a very good ending that made you have to get the next book,Untouchable,right away.

Untouchable by: Kate Brian


Untouchable by: Kate Brian 4.0 stars

Cheating,Partying,Blackmail,and now.....murder?

Can the Billings Girls remain untouchable?

Reed`s boyfriend, Thomas Pearson -- the popular,easygoing,irresistibly handsome and charismatic boy she fell in love with is dead. No one knows how it happened,and everyone is after the truth. Or are they?

Life at Easton Academy begins to feel really different. Taylor is acting like the poster child for Prozac,Kiran is spiking her cornflakes,Noelle is being kind of...nice,and Ariana keeps floating around as if nothing happened.

Thanksgiving break arrives and Reed and Josh find themselves alone on campus. They are forced to confront the feelings they`ve been hiding. Those feelings combined with an empty campus result in the hottest hookup Reed could ever imagine. But when Reed breaks the news about Josh to the Billings Girls, there`s no fun game of tell-all. Instead Josh becomes suspect No.1 in the murder of Thomas Pearson

The perfect life Reed has constructed as a Billings Girls begins to crumble. And as everyone becomes more convinced of Josh`s guilt,Reed`s private suspicions lead her somewhere she doesn`t want to go.
(Summary from Amazon.com)

Review: Once again Kate Brian has out done herself. Even though I find Reed annoying sometimes. I like how you got to see more of Josh in the book. You also got to see Gage and Dash. Gage made me laugh but I didn`t like Dash as much. You also got to see the lighter side of Noelle and you got to know the real Natasha. Overall,it was really good but make sure you read the first two books first.

Publisher: Simon Pulse
5 stars


Tradition,Honor,Excellence...and secrets so dark they`re almost invisible.

Fifteen-year-old Reed Brennan wins a scholarship to Easton Academy-the goldenticket away from her pill-popping mother and run-of-the-mill surburban life. But when she arrives on the beautiful,tradition-steeped campus of Easton,everyone is a bit more sophisticated,a bit more gorgeous,and a lot wealtheir than she ever thought possible. Reed realizes that even though she has been accepted to Easton,Easton has not accepted her.She feels like she`s on the outside,looking in.

Until she meets the Billings Girls.

They are the most beautiful,intelligent,and intensely confident girls on campus. And they know it. They hold all the power in a world where power is fleeting but means everyting. Reed vows to do whatever it takes to do whatever it takes to be accepted into their inner circle.

Reed uses every part of herself - the good,the bad,the beautiful - to get closer to the Billings Girls. She discovers that inside their secret parties and mountains of attitude,hanging in their designer clothing-packed closets the Billings Girls have skeletons. And they`ll do anything to keep their secrets private.

Review: I was hooked with this book. I finished it in two days! Although Reed was a sometime annoying chracter you still had to keep reading to see what would happen to Reed if she got in the Billings inner circle. It`s a very good start to a very good series.
