*I have not reviewed Rooms yet. It will be up within the next day or so.

Favorite Book:
Based on bookmarks, my favorite book was Confessions by Kate Brian. I actually got this book a few years ago, my husband thought I’d like it and didn’t realized it was part of a series. I don’t remember much of it from the first time I read it, but now, knowing what happened in the previous books in the series, I loved it and it is my favorite Private Series book so far.

Least Favorite Book:
My least favorite book that I read last month was Ambition by Kate Brian. It just didn’t have the juice that the rest of the series has.

Goals for May:
I am hoping to finish the Private Series this month and start the Jessica Darling Series.  I think these were the same goals I had last month, but I ended up winning quite a bit of books that got in my way.

How was your month?

*This contains spoilers if you haven’t read the rest of the series*

Oy Vey! A lot is a changin’ at Easton Academy. Noelle and the “Mean Girls” are gone. Inner Circle picks up at the beginning of Reed’s second year at Easton. The last we’d heard from her was winter break of her first year. And as I said, a lot has changed.

There’s a new headmaster, Reed has a new roommate and there’s a new Billings “Queen B”. Not to mention 6 open spots at Billings and 80 years of tradition that are being thrown out the door.

The “Mean Girls” may have treated Reed horribly, killed her beau and tried to kill her, but somehow, this year seems worse. She’s at wits end with a house mate, who seems very cozy with Josh (Yes, Reed and Josh are still together). It’s now up to Reed to put her housemates in their place and show them what it really means to be a Billings Girl, even if she is “blue collar”.

Oh yeah, one of the “Mean Girls” shows back up in Reeds life, but she may not have been too far from the beginning.

This book just didn’t do it for me like the rest of the series has. There was drama, yes, but compared to killing people, it seemed very tame. Now, there is a death in this book, I just didn’t really care about it. Oh Gosh, I’ve become hardened by the likes of Noelle :) This book was just too catty for me.

I do have high hopes for the rest of the series, especially with a mean one back in the picture and to learn more about this Ivy character who has come back to Easton. But, I am only giving Invitation Only 2 bookmarks.

Private Series:
1. Private
2. Invitation Only
3. Untouchable
4. Confessions
