Genre: Adult, Mystery Thriller, Crazy Ass Chic-Lit
Publisher: A & A Literary

Overall Rating 3.3/5 Stars


✧Breakdown of Rating✧


Plot: 3.8/5 As a whole it was interesting, raw, and unfettered, it just wasn't well executed. The twist at the end, I didn't see coming at all. I really can't go into it much more than that without giving too much away.

Characters: 4/5 Rich girls run amok…These girls are naughty and they don't apologize for it. Seriously damaged. Reminded me somewhat of Dangerous Girls.

The Feels: 3/5 It's hard to feel sorry for rich spoiled girls…

Theme: 2/5 

Flow: 5/5 Needs a ton more editing, from misused to misspelled words to missing altogether.
Originality: 5/5 ...maybe it has been done before, but I don't think quite like this.

Book Cover: 5/5

Sex Factor: Lots of explicit sex, including some bi-sexual healing of the F/F kind.

Ending: 3.8/5 To quote Disturbed "And get stupefied." Sort of explains my feelings at the end of this book. Stupify could be this book's theme song. Cliffhanger: No


My Thoughts:


This book is twisted and seriously has some WTF moments that blew my mind, especially that ending. But, the lack of editing really held it back for me. Ultimately, I did find it memorable.

❐ YA MYSTERY
❐ UPDATED REVIEW

MY RATING  STARS


This book was entertaining, it's not my usual kind of read (although it is now).  I've really got into this YA/Mystery genre lately. I don't think it's JLA's usual style to write in either, but she doesn't really stick to one particular genre, either. I like that about her.

I liked how I was constantly trying to figure out who is behind Samantha's and Cassie's disappearance, nobody is ruled out as a suspect. My only real qualm with is I didn't feel as connected with Samantha as I would like to have been. Still, it's quite a stellar read.

UPDATE 9/2020...I really wonder if what I would rate this now that I've read so many more mysteries...I'm not sure it would hold up...but it might.
