Scandal, Mar 10 2010
By Alaceea Eichel "Lacy Eichel" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Scandal (Paperback)
Scandal picks right off where the last book, Suspicion, left off. Reed returns to Easton after a short and nearly deadly break in St. Barths, she discovers that the Billings House has been torn down, and all the Billings Girls have been separated from each other into the remaining dorms. Easton has also received a new headmaster, who's hell bent on creating "equality" on campus, and immediately declares all social clubs forbidden. But Reed isn't giving up on Billings just yet. She receives a mysterious gift that helps her to unlock a forgotten piece of Billings history and teams up with an unlikely partner to do it. But there are people who would do anything to stop them.I thought it was a great read, finished it in one sitting. This is a truly addicting series and I'm really excited to see where Kate Brian takes the series next. This book left off on an intense cliff hanger, leaving many exciting possibilities for the next installment, Vanished.
Highly Recommend :)

Adore Private!, Mar 5 2011
By Pootlemcpootle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scandal (Paperback)
I adore the Private novels. It amazes me that I keep coming back for more as I do find Reed rather moany and irritating but Kate Brian paints such yummy boys I have to keep coming back.One big moan is - setting typos aside- I was seriously p'ed off when Kate Brian called Paige Ryan's mother Clarissa Ryan, when she was called Calista Ryan in the books before - seriously is she churning them out so quickly she can't even check what she's named her characters?
Don't get me started on the fact that Sawyers eyes turn from grey in Paradise Lost (gray for those of you in US) to blue in the next book (after Scandal) - Vanished.
You'd think the least she could do was have a page or two on her computer listing her characters Names and physical attributes!!!
Ok rant over.
I still love the books - it would be nice to have a bit more proof reading and fact checking prior to the stories being published.
Ok rant really is over now!

Addictive and Intriguing: Especially the Cliffhanger, April 29 2010
By YA Book Queen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scandal (Paperback)
With the eleventh installment in the Private Series, Reed finds herself coming back from a disastrous vacation, and tossed into yet another disaster. Billings House is nothing but a pile of dirt, and the Billings Girls are no more. The new Headmaster Hathaway intends to make his mark on the place, and create an equal setting within the school.But Reed isn't quite done with Billings. When a mysterious book makes its way into Reed's hands, she sets off to re-create the Billings Literary Society. But if she plays by the rules, only eleven can make it, even though fifteen are aiming for a piece of the action, and it's up to Reed to have the final say of who's in and who's out.
I've got to admit, Reed really bothered me in this book. Instead of just letting four extra people in, she had to go and be exclusive. Although, the appeal of the Society is obvious, because it's about more than just Billings, it's about honor, truth, friendship.
Then Reed has some relationship issues, both friendship-wise and romantically. I can say, I felt sorry for one jilted romantic interest, but agreed with Reed's choice in the end.
I enjoyed that the book was back at Easton, which I sorely missed, but I do not see this as one of Brian's best novels in the Private series. I still stand by the fact that the first four were by far the best.
Highlights: An intriguing ending, as usual. I still adore Brian's writing, because she always gets me hooked from the first page to the last. I always find it very difficult to put any book of her's down!
Lowlights: There wasn't too much action going on, and of course, Reed couldn't just use her head for once. This is one of those series where I loved the first books, but now the later ones are not living up to the original standards. I'm hopeful that the next will rekindle my love for the Private series.
RATING: 3.5 out of 5
