Every year, it comes. And every year, it reminds Grace that someone knows her deepest secret–the secret whose silence has tormented Grace over the years. That secret began with an innocent gang of teenage friends who called themselves The Kitty Committee. The Kitty Committee of Grace’s youth was ostensibly a group of friendship and support. But the friends fell victim to the ringleader’s … the ringleader’s manipulative personality and recklessness, which set the girls on a course of vigilante justice, culminating in an act that will forever change their lives, an act that becomes their shared secret.
Grace’s silence and guilt has led to over twenty years of disappointing relationships, an inability to commit, and a crisis of morality. And no matter how much Grace has suffered and lost, still it comes every year. The reminder that someone out there wants The Kitty Committee to suffer–someone who won’t forget and won’t forgive.

5 out of 5 stars
The story The Kitty Committee: A Novel of Suspense by Kathryn Berla is a thrilling mystery book. It does a wonderful job of grabbing your attention from the very beginning and I soon found myself lost in the pages. It is a book that had me wondering what was going to happen next. The story does a great job of smoothly going from the past to the present and I was impressed on how well I was able to feel the emotions that Grace and the other characters felt themselves. I enjoyed not only the plot but also reading about the character of Grace. A secret kept can lead to your life being molded by it. The emotions that can rule over you run deep and lead to guilt. Grace is a woman who has such emotions. Self-doubt is a constant companion. Some of it has to do with her time in The Kitty Committee. A group of inseparable friends who all share in a secret with Grace. What is the secret that they keep? Every year a letter is sent. Who knows about The Kitty Committee’s secret? I found Grace to be a character that does a lot of thinking about what sort of person that she was and has become. She seems to be searching for happiness in her life that alludes her. What does the future hold for Grace and the other Kitty Committee members? Read this story to find out. I also enjoyed reading about many of the other characters in the book, the part that each of them plays in it and how they interact with Grace. This is a well-written story that I would recommend reading. I found myself thinking about it long after I had finished the book. I can’t wait to read what the author writes next.
Here’s another story by Kathryn Berla that makes you go hmm. This time however, the story is a little more twisted. Usually Berla’s stories make you take a good look at yourself, this time though we are forced to look at the evils of others. We should look into ourselves. We should learn to depend and believe in ourselves. We all have something special about us. Berla’s stories make us think more.
“All I had to do was believe in its power, in my power to forgive and to love, myself as well as others.”
This story is easy to read. The flash backs are well defined from the current time. The telling of the story, through Grace’s eyes, made you feel for Grace. She was looking for attention, someone to tell her she was enough. Grace found that through her so-called friend, queen of the mean girls, Carly. I would like to read this story through Carly’s eyes.
There were times during this story that I wanted to shake Grace and tell her to get the heck away from Carly. In fact, I wanted Maggie and Jane to grab Grace and RUN from Carly.
Once again Berla has brought out different emotions and made me glad I read another book by her.

4 stars!!!
This was definitely out of my genre comfort zone but I found it to be a good read. I found that the author did a good job of drawing out the sort of thrill and using the past to highlight what was happening in the future. The characters were very well portrayed.
Grace is really a great character and I really could feel her emotional turmoil. I found myself glued to the pages of this book and wanted to know what would happen next. The author has a unique writing method an it draws out the thrill of the book without it being too edgy. I would consider reading more from this author in the future.
I enjoyed this dark, twisted story about a group of girls were suppose to be friends. This story took me on an emotional roller coaster ride with some twists and turns that kept me reading until the last page. I enjoyed the characters in this book as they are relateable. This story goes back and forth between past and present but it is done with ease. This story does have a few themes going on including bullying which made the story more interesting. I highly recommend this book.
The Kitty Committee swore that no matter what happens that they will remain loyal to one another and put the members first before anyone else. That was the premise of the group when the 4 young girls formed it. All looking to form a strong bond, friendship, and support in hard times. Now years later, Grace is tormented by a secret that they shared.
Like clockwork, every year Grace receives a message as do the other girls. A simple biblical verse that is meant to cause each girl (now women) to suffer pain, fear, and a crisis of conscience. How did one person’s manipulation and recklessness cause the girls to turn a path in which they take justice into their own hands and have them act in cruel ways against others?
I found each of the characters riveting, the storytelling unfolding in a direction that I didn’t see coming, and found myself unable to put the book down.
