S.T.A.G.S. by M.A. BennettMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's hard for everyone to live through the youth years isn't it? A great read about wanting to fit in with the pricks you don't like.
I usually enjoy boarding school/secret society type books especially if I think (or know) someone is going to die. A ride along with kids hoping to measure up to the kids who rule the school. We all just want to fit in and be accepted by those who convince us they are better. Lots of excitement and suspense.
Description
Donna Tartt's The Secret History meets Pretty Little Liars in this propulsive, edge-of-your-seat novel that explores just how far the elite at an English boarding school will go to maintain the social order.
One deadly weekend.
At St. Aidan the Great School, or STAGS, new things--and new people--are to be avoided. The grandeur of the boarding school and the prestige of the students' bloodlines seem surreal to Greer MacDonald. A scholarship student who recently transferred to STAGS, Greer is ignored at best and mocked at worst by the school's most admired circle of friends, the Medievals.
Greer is taken by surprise when the Medievals send her an invitation to an exclusive weekend retreat at the private family estate of their unofficial leader, Henry de Warlencourt. It's billed as a weekend of "huntin' shootin' fishin'."
As the weekend begins to take shape, it becomes apparent that beyond the luxurious trappings, predators are lurking, and they're out for blood.
