I’m the school geek. The teenage girl with glasses. The girl who boys avoid because her dad just so happens to be the Sheriff. All I’m interested in is getting into Yale so I can leave this town and everyone in it behind. Until four of the most popular boys in school suddenly show an interest in me… girl skin I’m in just to prove to them I’m not as innocent as they think I am.
Only, things start to go wrong. Really wrong.
As I stare down at the grave in front of me, I know my life will never be the same again—not while I’m caught up in this web of lies, deceit…and murder.

Entertainment wise I liked this one a lot, but unfortunately, it also had a few issues that caused me to lower my rating a bit. However, let’s start with the positives. The plot of this book was very entertaining. Maybe a bit far fetched for a bunch of high school students but entertaining nonetheless. It was full of teenage drama. A bit of a love triangle, and I am just going to say I am #TeamBenny all the way. Blake had his chance, but as soon as he started dating (sleeping with?) Kelly, he lost me. (lol) There was bullying. There was a murder. There were drugs. There wasn’t any sex (YA). It had a fantastic cast of characters. I love their interactions and how protective they were of each other (most of the time). There were some twist and turns, and it ends with a cliffhanger and a whole lot of loose ends.
That brings me to the main issue I had with this one. Honestly, this book was WAY too long, especially considering it ends on a cliffhanger. There was so much unnecessary stuff. Repetitive dialogue. Multiple POVs etc. The plot really could have used a proper tightening up. That said, I enjoyed it enough, and I am super curious to see where this story is going. I am dying to find out more about Levi, as well as Axel. So yea, it wasn’t perfect, but it was still pretty damn enjoyable.
SIDE NOTE: These characters really had this crazy over the top reaction to the heroine smoking cigarettes. Like they were a gateway to hard drugs or something. (lol) I get smoking is terrible for you and all that, but the way they would react to it was bizarre and like she was half a step from needing to go to rehab!
When the good girl takes up a bet from the bad boys in school, this unleashes a series of events such as lies, betrayal, deceit, suspense, action, and mystery. This is a well written story which had me hooked and intrigued throughout, and I look forward to reading more of this authors’ work.
I had high hopes for this book, but I have to be honest. I really wasn’t all that interested in it. I found myself skimming through some pages to get through the book. Some of the writing just didn’t work well for me. I’m willing to try other books by this author, but this wasn’t it for me. sorry.

I found this to be interesting but it ends in a cliffhanger. The storyline is good and so are the characters.

This book sound pretty good and I love a good bully romance so I am pretty disappointed that I couldn’t make myself finish it. It definitely feels unedited. I can’t read a book that breaks the show don’t tell rule and this book breaks it from the very beginning. I’d give it a second try if the author had it edited.

The book is a good teen and young adult romantic suspense read. The story has a good story line. The story does end in a cliffhanger. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry.

Read the book, story was interesting and the characters were interesting. Lana being a geek ended up having someone all of a sudden, Lana wanted everyone to think she was not a good girl like everyone seems to think.

First off I have to say that this is one of those books you love to hate but can’t because it draws you in and gives you just enough to keep you reading. I started the book off and I wasn’t sure I was going to read it but then I kept reading and I was hooked because I had to know what was going to happen. Plus it was in different POV’s and that was confusing at first but then I got the hang of it and I was off and running. There was also the issues that is near and dear to me and that is bullying. I HATE BULLYING so much! I just don’t get why people feel the need to bully others. Leave them the eff alone because they haven’t done anything to you so leave them be.
This story is about a girl who happens to be the sheriff’s daughter and a nerd. She minds her business and just wants to get good grades to go to Yale and get out of town. Then one day four of the most popular boys dare her to do something and she decides she will she shed her nerdiness and take this bet head on. Only things start to go wrong and they are all caught up into something they can’t get out of. The story ended with a cliffhanger and I need book two because I need to know what happened. I need to know why someone died and what the boys and girl have to do with it. So many unanswered questions I need it like yesterday!

Lana is a nerdy good girl and the sheriffs daughter. She’s constantly bullied at school until one day she is coerced into a bet with THEM.
They are the cool kids, her tormentors and her ultimate undoing. Even though they’ve beaten and humiliated her she still becomes their friends. They open up a whole new world to her of both fun and a world of danger.
This book was chaotic at best with way too much going on. Honestly I think that this book would benefit by being organized into two or three separate books.
