The Conspiracy of Us
by Maggie Hall
“Avery West’s newfound family can shut down Prada when they want to shop in peace, and can just as easily order a bombing when they want to start a war. Part of a powerful and dangerous secret society called the Circle, they believe Avery is the key to an ancient prophecy. Some want to use her as a pawn. Some want her dead.”
Thus begins the first novel in an exciting new YA series. Our heroine, Avery, is thrust into a world beyond her imagination when two guys show up at her school looking for her. Avery must find a way to figure out which of them to trust before she ends up in the wrong hands … or dead. This fast-paced read takes Avery from her hometown to Paris to Istanbul chasing a truth that seems just out of reach. With the help of her new friend, Jack, Avery must try to decipher what is going and why she’s ended up in the middle of it all. And to top it off, an old family friend is somehow connected, but he’s been kidnapped and Avery may hold the key to saving him.
I really enjoyed this book. It moves quickly and kept me guessing from chapter to chapter who she should trust and what might really be going on. As the secrets around her are revealed, I found myself as confused in places as the main character and yet the author gives just enough foreshadowing that I continually tried to guess what would happen next, only to be surprised each time.
The books ends with a giant cliffhanger setting it up perfectly for book two in the series, which I can’t wait to read.
