All I can say is thank goodness for the ability to put books on hold at the library, because I’ve already put the rest of this series on hold so I don’t have to wait one minute for the next book after I finish one. Each book in the series gets more and more thrilling and the third, Untouchable by Kate Brian is no exception.

Untouchable opens at the funeral of Thomas Pearson, Reed Brennan, the main character’s former boyfriend. Reed can’t believe he is dead, and is even more stunned that More...

OH MY GOSH!!! Thomas is dead, Reed likes Josh, and now the Billings Girls are acting strange. No one knows how Thomas died and everyone wants to know. Taylor is constantly crying, Kiran is spiking almost everything she comsumes, Arianna is living like absolutely nothing happened, and Noelle is being...NICE?!

Soon, Reed is finding out about things she doesn't want to know about. All of the Billings Girls' "secrets" are being discovered by Reed as she cleans their rooms. T More...

"Untouchable" has Easton Academy burying one of their students, Thomas Pearson, Reed Brennan's first lover and boyfriend. Then there's Taylor who seems to be overly affected by Thomas' death despite her obvious dislike for Thomas prior to his death, she now can't stop breaking down. Then there's Josh Hollis, Thomas' room mate and bestfriend who doesn't seem to be affected by the death at all.

There are so much mystery in this book that people that have classified the Private s More...

The second book of the series ended with a cliff hanger and this one started with the day after. Immediately I found myself back into the world full of drama, privileges and secrets. Reeds boyfriend is death and everyone, including herself, wants to know who killed him. After allot of speculations someone gets the blame and they all think that they can close the chapter. Guess again, life doesn’t work that way often.

In the first, two books when the love between Reed and Thomas was de More...

In last book, the series ended it off with Reed finding that Thomas was dead. And then it continued it into the next book with Reed and all of her classmates at Thomas' funeral. They have a suspect in custody but later on in the book they release him because of his alibi. Reed is having mental break downs but not as much as one of her roommates Taylor Bell. Reed is very suspicious of all of the Billing girls by the way they are acting. There are many whispers and rehearsed conversations that wer More...

In Kate Brian’s Untouchable, it’s time for Thanksgiving break. Things are starting to look up for Reed. The girls have finally accepted her as one of their own, she is getting over Thomas, someone has been arrested in connection with his death, and she’s started to spend some time with a new boy. The new boy, however, is Thomas’ roommate, Josh.

And just as soon as everyone leaves for break, except Reed and Josh, everything starts to go downhill. The two are caught together and are ban More...

Untouchable is the third book of the Private series. Reed is now fully and officially a Billing girl. Since her boyfriend, Thomas Pearson, was discovered dead not far from the campus, Reed is now passing her days at school depressed and in a great sorrow. No one knows what happened to him. When Thanksgiving break is coming and Josh (Thomas roommate) and Reed are alone on campus they end by revealing the feelings they have for each other. The plot is getting more complex when Taylor (one of the B More...

Cheating, partying, blackmail, and now...murder?

Can the Billings Girls remain untouchable?

Reed's boyfriend, Thomas Pearson -- the popular, easygoing, irresistibly handsome and charismatic boy she fell in love with -- is dead. No one knows how it happened, and everyone is after the truth. Or are they?

Life at Easton Academy begins to feel very different: Taylor is acting like the poster child for Prozac, Kiran is spiking her cornflakes, Noelle is being kind of. More...

When Reed and a boy named Josh are left alone on campus on Thanksgiving break they're not just friends... they have a pretty good realashonship together; And when Reed breaks the news to the Billings Girls about him and her... they aren't very thrilled because they think that Josh is a suspect.

This was a very good book about a teenage girl who is at a private school on a scholarship. She is now in the high class group of rich girls even though she isn’t rich. Her boyfriend Thomas Pearson was just killed but they don’t know who killed him. Now she is going through all these withdrawal effects and can’t get him out of her head. She starts falling for a different guy, Thomas’ roommate, Josh. She starts to think about her and Thomas when she’s with Josh, which makes her back off from Josh More...

There is something about the way Kate Brian writes that makes me want more of her books. I love books about kids going away to private boarding schools, the authors make it seem really fun. In the case of the Private series, I would never want to attend Easton Academy. The Billings girls definitely make me want to rethink the above statement. I feel really bad for Reed, because she remains in the dark about everything even though she has become a Billings girl. The Private series has become an a More...

In this book Reed is a Billings Girl now! And with her new status come respect, envy, and, most important, opportunity, blackmail. She has had many boyfriends. There has been some murder too. It makes her confused because it revolves around her 2 boyfriends. One ex boyfriend is DEAD.

I can make a text-to-text connection to Reed because sometimes if I know to many secretes they just all spill out. Lots of peer pressure and expectations.

I give this book 5 stars. It keeps me More...

Thomas is murded..... Everyone at Billings is shocked same with Easton boys..... While this is is happening everything feels out of place.... When Reed is with Josh on thanksgiving there's more than a friendship between them both. Reed goes to tell Billlings girls because she is happy about it but they think he is one of the suspects to Thomass death.
I can kind of connect to this because sometimes if I have something that happened to me they assume it's the other thing.....

Now Reed feels guilty for ever moving on or thinking the worst about Thomas. It's hard for Reed to mourn his death since everyone around her is watching her every move and emotio More...

Reed Brennan was finally accepted into the Billings Girls' clique and had fallen in love with Thomas. He's found dead and now Reed feels guilty for thinking the worst about Thomas. Her new friends Taylor, Kiran, Noelle, and Arianna are all acting very strange too. I didn't think I would like a book about cliquish girls in boarding school, but this one is surprisingly good. Full of drama, suspense, and romance, it kept my interest and made me want to read more.

Absolutely amazing, and the twist at the end is to die for. You seriously will not expect what happens! It's written amazingly well, and every teenage girl can relate to the issues including school, boys and bitchy girls/friends.
Throughout the whole book, until like the second last page, I was still guessing, and unlike many book, the action continues until the very last page. It was awesome! Can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series! :) <3

I haven't experienced the death of a loved one so I can't say if the way Reed felt is "normal" but I think either way the way her emotions flip-flopped was realistic.

A bit of a cliffhanger. I do still have to wonder if scandals go down in preppy, elite high schools/academies...

And having friends who consider a full-day spa as a good way to recuperate - envious! (That said, I also do enjoy reading and watching movies with pals as a way to wind down.)
