But behind the vanilla soap and a pretty face, Alison holds a secret. A secret someone is willing to kill for. Does Alison choose to expose this terrible secret and live or keep it and die a terrible death? 

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this book better than the rest of the series. It gave me an insight on all of Ali's dark secrets. This book was full of lies and drama and I absolutely loved it!

What they find out next shocks them. The girls and boys have been divided into two different schools. There is no Good and Evil. Only a rivalry between the boys and the girls. Can Sophie and Agatha fix the schools? Or will the two groups go to war?

This was my favorite book in the entire series. It kept me on the edge of my seat with all the adventure and drama going on! I was a bit sad because I was left at a steep cliff hanger.

Sophie on Evil's side and Agatha on Good's. Sophie and Agatha's stories are being rewritten.

I thought this was perfect. I liked that I could see what happened to the other girls after the Selection. It pleases me to know that everyone ended with a happily ever after (besides Celeste) and that made me happy.

This was one of my favorite books from the series. I liked this one because it answered a lot of questions I had about Magnus Bane. I got to know his character a little bit better.

Natasha is the oldest in her family. She wishes for her mother to come back and her crush to like her back. But more than anything, she just wants to be...noticed. So she goes to the Willow Tree and makes her three wishes. What happens next?

I thought this was a pretty interesting book. It didn't really catch my eye and I wasn't that hooked onto the story. I did like the idea of the Wishing Day. I thought it was creative.

This book was like The Selection and Keeper of the Lost Cities mixed together. I personally loved each series, so having something so similar to the two was fun to read.

It's so emotional and it honestly made me want to cry (in a good way). I couldn't stop reading it. Thirteen Reasons Why tells the story of Hannah Baker and why she killed herself. Before she died, Hannah sent out thirteen tapes to people on her list. If you were on her list, you were why she killed herself. I would rate this book 5/5 stars.

The book was everything I expected and so much more. Lodestar fills in the missing holes about why Keefe left to join the  Neverseen, and Sophie must do everything she can to help him. I definitely rate this book 5/5 stars.
