DESCRIPTION

The secret group that promised they would achieve their every dream has instead turned their lives into a nightmare. The teens try boycotting, skipping the gatherings, and avoiding other members and plan to go to the police with details of Alejandro's and Jared’s deaths, but the Society finds sinister ways to keep them in line.

LOVED IT

I enjoyed this one much more that the first in this series.  There is a lot more suspense and action with a few twists and turns that really kept my attention and I finished this in a little over 5 hours.  Does that tell you something?  Of course, this one ended with a bit of an open end so I am sure there is another one in the works which I would love to read. I am sorry that this review is vague, but I can't discuss it without giving up details of the plot, so I am just going to say that this is developing into a wonderful series.
