15 year old Reed Brennan is now totally confused. She has what she wanted - a room in the Billings dorm and the friendship of four of the girls. However, her boyfriend of about a month disappeared without a trace. The police were all over campus searching for him, questioning all the students, and making it very hard for Reed to get over him. In the mean time, The Billings girls are pushing Reed to go out with the pompous but well-meaning Walt Whittaker which turns out to be part of a scheme to

Ce n'est pas un franc coup de coeur, mais j'avoue que cette série parvient à m'accrocher en dépit des défauts que je lui trouve ! Je pense que le contraste y est pour quelque chose, dans le sens où cela peut être source de séduction ou de dégoût. Car on pense s'aventurer dans un monde glamour, où tout n'est que facilité et opulence, paillettes et autres futilités, alors que c'est faux. D'un côté, on touche au but (les filles et garçons sont tous beaux, très riches) mais finalement la légèreté n'

Oh yes, I’m officially sucked in to the Private series. Invitation Only is the second book in the Private series and now that I’m finished, I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of book 3 at my library. I’ve already ordered the 4th book, so I can keep reading once I finish the next one.
Invitation Only continues the story of Reed Brennan who has just been invited by the fabulous Billings Girls to be a part of their inner circle and live in Billings Hall. Reed is excited because now, she’s More...

A couple of weeks ago I read Private, the first book in the Private series and I really enjoyed it. And because the first book ended with a exciting cliff-hanger, I just couldn’t wait to get my hands on the second book in the series. And oh my, how I loved this one too.

Never thought Brian would be able to sustain the swirl of intrigue & deception that surrounds the esteemed Easton Academy and the beautiful people that graces it's halls.
It's a step further inside the inner workings of the Billings Hall as the reader gets to know what defines the Billings girls--what they're willing to undergo, to divulge, to sacrifice, to face up to--in order to protect those who are like them.

The last part of the novel was very suspenseful. Thomas, Reed's boyfriend is still missing. Everyone at the school thinks he is playing a prank on everyone and is going to make a special appearance at an exclusive party coming up in NYC. The party is only for legacies (people who's family has attended the school for many generations) and the only way to get in is with a guy named Whit. Reed's bestfriend, Constance has a huge crush on him but Reed feels the need to betray her and go with Whit in

I liked this book a lot.It shows how you need to be strong and not give into peer pressure.It's the second book of a series,so when I read it I had to figure out who everyone was.Normally,I don't read books about girls,for they are giggly and easily swayed by the "jerk jock" that screws them over later.Reed Brennen,the protagonist of the story,is head strong and Kate Brian(the author)made her realistic.Reed's boyfriend has left suddenly,leaving nothing but a note that claims he's just

Ok, I'm officially hooked on this series now, even though I need to read a number of other books prior to getting back to it. Brian was smart to release the first book in the series, Private free on Kindle to attract new fans like me.
I recently read a few YA novels and was not that impressed. However, the Private series reminds me of the YA that I had difficulty finding to read when I was in junior high. There weren't many books out there like this at the time. Nevertheless, I'm More...

UNBELIEVABLE!!! This sequel contains the most unexpected twists and turns and ups and downs!!!!!! This book made me be nervous with the characters. At one point, I still continue to dislike Reed a little, because she is a great example of a follower whose life gets ruined because she doesn't understand the importance of friendship and her future. I was happy though that she got over someone who scared her heart, by doing the most unpredictable thing and ending up in tragedy. It was exciting the

In this sequel to Private, Reed Brennan has finally realized her dream to become one of the elite Billings Girls. But all is not as rosy as she had hoped - her boyfriend is missing, the girls of Billings have her working like a drudge doing their chores, and her roommate is using some compromising pictures to blackmail Reed into betraying the most powerful girls on campus. Not an easy situation. Plus, Reed somehow has to finagle an invite to the most exclusive Halloween party ever.

I can make a text-to-self connection because we both don’t always get invited to all the fabulous parties. I think that when you are independent you don’t really care wether you get invited or not. But thats me.
