Back In Black, an A-List Novel
Zoe Dean
Seventeen year old Upper East-Side girl Anna Percy is tired of playing by her wealthy mother’s strict rules. So, to follow her heart, she moves from uptight New York to the sunny (and wild) shores of Los Angeles. Anna wants to break out of her perfectly boring personality and step into something new. Thanks to Sam Sharpe, Cammie Shepherd, and Dee Young, Anna just might get what she came for.
Sam, Dee, and Cammie rule Beverly Hills High school, but when An...more

I'm currently in finished with this book and it has been pretty good. I believe that this book is interesting but it can get boring at some points in the book. This book takes place in Las Vegas and the main characters in this book are exploring the Gambling city! These kids are wise and optimistic which makes this book interesting to read. If you are willing to explore kids that are doing what they want in Vegas this book is great for you.

Back in Black, an A-List novel was an OK book....I'm thinking because I didn't read the first 4 books before was the reason it was just OK. I couldn't really connect to any of the characters, but the only character I really wanted to know more about was Anna. I wanted to know more about her and Ben and what what was the reason they split up. Of course at the end of the book they reconnect finally...and then thats what wants you to get the next book to read, to see what happens with them as a cou...more
Ooooh! this book was just horrible as the last one. There is too much descriptions of each building and clothes(I though I was reading a travel's guide) and nothing happens. I didn't expect much from this book, and I wish I didn't buy it. But I'm continuing to the series, I'm wanting to see Anna/Ben. But now I don't have a favorite character in the book, Sam is just bitchy and horrible, Cammie is worse, Dee is loony and boring, Adam is okay, Parker is okay, and Anna is really boring. I have to s...more

How I Came To Read This Book: Danielle lent it to me.
The Plot: Anna Percy and her LA frenemies are heading to Las Vegas for a week of sin and debauchery. In between a showgirl striptease contest, a mysterious casino visit, and a night with a hypnotist, each of the main girls deals with the relationships with the most important people in their lives - past and present.
The Good & The Bad: Ah the A-List, back in boring form. Despite a minor upswing in plot and character development in "Tall Coo...more

This book was good, if you are into that type of "Gossip Girl" type book. I don't read the Gossip Girl series, except the first three, or watch the tv show but I do like this series. It doesn't make me want to run out and buy the next book in the series, but if I happen to go to the library again I will probably get it.
Abandoned after two chapters. I'm sure I've read worse YA books, but because they were set on the East Coast, I'm more enthralled. Perhaps because I grew up in LA, the scandals here don't interest me.
It seemed to drag in a lot parts. I skimming a lot. There just wasn't enough excitment or drama. I mean they're in Las Vega aren't they supposed to be having the time of their life. Instead it just sounds like a regular old club in a regular old city. The exciting part was in the last fifty pages.
This series was okay, but get's tiresome after, like, the 2nd or 3rd book.... eventually it's all about name-dropping, mentioning hip clubs, talking about how much money people earn and how to be mean to people who aren't earning 60 million every minute. Plus the constant chatter about the clothing (who designed it, how much it costs what kind of cut and the fabric it's made from and when and where the characters got it) AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it gets soooooooooooooo annoying, as well as the mentions...more

Am enjoying the story of this series and the character development, but geez - enough already with the brand name/designer label mentions. They're in every other sentence. No one cares.
Its a quite flat read i would say n fails to hook the reader for long. However the glittering life of the aristocrats attracts the reader!
A complete fluff read, which is why it got such a low score.
It did make me miss Las Vegas however...

This book was okay. I have been reading this series for awhile. After this book I realized the series isn't going anywhere good so I stopped reading them. The book its self was entertaining, but wasn't a book that I couldn't put down. It was a very easy read and didn't take a lot of thought to read it. Overall I probably would not reacommend this book to anyone because there are a lot more books out there to read that would be more worth your time. I think Zoey Dean is a talented writer.

I found the beginning very boring and seemed to drag on. I loved, loved, loved the ending as I am sure most people did. It was a good continuation of the series.
didn't like it. It's been so long since I've read it that I don't even remember what I didn't like about it, just that I didn't like it.
Kids grow up way too fast.

These books were so crazy, totally unlike their main character, Anna.
Can't wait to read the next one.... Cliff hanger!!
I was disappointed with Ben. :| He's a loooooooooooooooooooooooooser!
This book was full of SEX and TEENAGE DRAMA. Though the two words together is okay with me, the story was awful.
I mean, fuck. K. Never mind.
