The story focuses in on three main characters, Katie Barton, Katie’s best friend Tessa Lupinski, and Katie’s boyfriend, Mark Summers. The setting is Whitney Preparatory Academy, just your average private boarding school. After a wild party, an insane mystery unfolds at the school, and Mark is a prime suspect in the investigation. Katie just knows that all this has something to do with the weird things that have been happening to her lately. Although she knows she shouldn’t get involved, she decides to poke around for more information. The story becomes more shocking and twisted as time progresses.
The book was an overall good read. It had its slow points where nothing was happening, but it made up for those moments with fast-paced sequences and sudden plot twists. The story is written from a third-person point of view, but switches between characters every chapters or so. It was a very interesting way to write a story, and something you don’t see too often.
One memorable thing about the book was all the plot twists. There were so many, and they were so sudden, they really catch you off guard.

ABOUT … Adrienne, Teen Librarian & Digital Media Lab Librarian at Libbie Mill Library.

Random stuff about me:
* Favorite book: Hmmmm, this is hard, since it changes all the time as I read new stuff and depending on what mood I’m in. However, there is one book that I know will still make me snort with laughter even when I’m 80 years old — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
* Favorite food: perfectly made toast
* Favorite band/music: Cake. I will never get enough Cake.
* Favorite reference question: Q: How long does it take the galaxy to rotate once? A: It’s called a galactic or cosmic year and it takes about 225-250 million earth years.
* Pets: I have two cats and a dog. Marcus and Grey are the cats who were rescued from a box in the woods when they were just little puffballs. When they are not acting insane, they are very sweet and purr loudly. My dog is named Peter and he's a medium size poodle mix (we call him the substandard poodle). He's got floppy ears, snores and loves green beans.
