All Letty wants is to see her name in lights, but she quickly discovers Manhattan is filled with pretty girls who will do anything to be a star...<\/p>\n<p>Cordelia is searching for the father she's never known, a man as infamous for his wild parties as he is for his shadowy schemes. Overnight, she enters a world more thrilling and glamorous than she ever could have imagined\u2014and more dangerous. It's a life anyone would kill for...and someone will.<\/p>\n<p>The only person Cordelia can trust is Astrid Donal, a flapper who seems to have it all: money, looks, and the love of Cordelia's brother, Charlie. But Astrid's perfect veneer hides a score of family secrets.<\/p>\n<p>Across the vast lawns of Long Island, in the illicit speakeasies of Manhattan, and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls' fortunes will rise and fall\u2014together and apart.

When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own\u2014scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind.

Elite Eli University junior Amy Haskel never expected to be tapped into Rose &amp; Grave, the country's most powerful-and notorious--secret society. She isn't rich, politically connected, or...well, male. So when Amy receives the distinctive black-lined invitation with the Rose &amp; Grave seal, she's blown away. Could they really mean her? Whisked off into an initiation rite that's a blend of Harry Potter and Alfred Hitchcock, Amy awakens the next day to a new reality and a whole new set of \"friends\"-from the gorgeous son of a conservative governor to an Afrocentric lesbian activist whose society name is Thorndike. And that's when Amy starts to discover the truth about getting what you wish for. Because Rose &amp; Grave is quickly taking her away from her familiar world of classes and keggers, fueling a feud, and undermining a very promising friendship with benefits. And that's before Amy finds out that her first duty as a member of Rose &amp; Grave is to take on a conspiracy of money and power that could, quite possibly, ruin her whole life. A smart, sexy introduction to the life and times of a young woman in way over her head, Secret Society Girl is a charming and witty debut from a writer who knows her turf-and isn't afraid to tell all.... <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2019-05-21T16:00:52+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is Books That I Refuse to Let Anyone Touch!

As a Runner for one of the underground syndicates that now controls the timewaves, Stassi 2446-89 has seen it all: the fall of Rome, the rise of Hitler, the end of democracy, the establishment of time tourism, and the devastating consequences of it. Her job is to seamlessly slip through the past, in search of items of value to the syndicate's clientele.<\/p>\n<p>Stassi's next assignment takes her to Paris in the 1920\u2019s, in search of a lost manuscript by one of the twentieth century\u2019s greatest writers. She and her partner, Gaige, are swept up in the City of Light during the height of fashion and culture\u2014as alluring a locale as they\u2019ve ever visited. But a seedier side of life lurks beneath the glamorous fa\u00e7ade, and the pair quickly learns this run is more dangerous than any of their previous missions.<\/p>\n<p>Because history isn\u2019t playing out as it should be\u2014a first for the syndicate. When the stakes are raised and it becomes a matter of life or death, Stassi and Gaige must ultimately decide how far they\u2019re willing to go to ensure the future as they know it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2019-05-21T16:00:52+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is Books That I Refuse to Let Anyone Touch!
