I wasn't expecting to be shocked at the outcome but was! A great thriller story that twisted and turned into itself nicely. Story was about a set of sisters 10 yrs apart with some racial & class differences who gain entrance to a secret society at Princeton where legacy and old money will always rule and probably lead to multiple murders.

“Did my silence allow for the same thing to happen to my sister?”

Well….shit. I don’t know how to feel right now. I think I need time to process this one. 

I came back to say that maybe I don’t need time to process this? So much and also nothing at all happened in this book. 

I have so many thoughts and questions….

- Why did we learn so many different things about Ben for him to not necessarily matter in this book? 
- How could all that happen in your past and you not even TRY to tell your sister why it might not be a great idea to not be a part of the Secret Societies? 
- Why would you go out of your way to avoid Lyla’s brother when you wanted everyone else to go out of their way to help regarding your sister? 

Just…what the actual hell on so many things.
