I just recently finished Kate Brian's novel, Untouchable. It ended with an email from Taylor Bell, who just recently fled campus without a word. The Billing's girls' explanation of her leaving was that she was under to much pressure and she needed some time off. Reed couldn't believe it; literally. The email stated that Reed shouldn't listen to what the other girls are telling about herself and that it is all lies. It then went on into the nest book, which I am currently read now called Confessi

"Confessions" continues immediately from where "Untouchable" finished off, with Josh Hollis being arrested for Thomas' death. Reed finds herself confused, she doesn't know whether to believe in Josh's innocence especially after the scandalous story that the Billings Girls has told her about her new boyfriend. Does she try and find evidence of his innocence or can she now rest knowing that the murderer is now in custody?

Reed Brennan in this book is finally getting over her dead ex-boyfriend Thomas when she discovers that her new boyfriend Josh is the number one suspect in the murder case.
In the beginning of the book, I was annoyed with Reed’s attitude. I understand that she has gone through a traumatic event, but I felt like she overreacted to the situation. If it had been me, I would have instantly determined to prove his innocence. Instead, Reed just closes herself off from the outside world and refuse More...

So glad that I borrowed this book at the same time as I did Untouchable, number three of the Private series. I started to read this book as soon as I wrote the review for that one, and I was, again, hooked when I read the first sentence.
Reed Brennan finds out that life isn’t always picture perfect. She finds herself working together with Blake, boyfriend of Noelle, to find out the truth what really happened to Thomas. They both know that Josh isn’t the murderer, but how can they sav More...

Once Josh Hollis, Reed's boyfriend is arrested for the murder of Thomas Pearson, Reed's dead boyfriend, everyone at Easton goes back to normal because they all know who the murderer is--except for Reed. She is unconvinced that Josh was not the murderer, which means that the killer is still out there. Reed will do anything to stop him... or her?

Reed’s boyfriend Josh is still in jail for the death of his roommate Thomas. But Reed is bound and determined to prove the police wrong. She finds there are two people who can give an alibi for Josh, but to do so, they must make their affair public knowledge… something neither are willing to do.
It ends up though that this relationship may not be the juiciest drama at Easton when Reed finally learns who killed her fling Thomas.

Of all the teen books I've read, I've liked many, but only three series have held me in thrall: Gossip Girl, The Princess Diaries, and the Private series. (Actually, you can make it four because I just read the first of the Pretty Little Liars series which reminds me of this series.)
In the Private series, girls at Easton are not only insanely rich, privileged, and catty like the characters in many other books. These girls hide secrets, not just dirty secrets, but shocking secrets. More...

Reed is eventually able to prove that her boyfriend is innocent and he is released but that means that the real killer is still out there somewhere. Eventually piece by piece she is able to figure out who killed her old boyfriend but in the process she almost gets killed herself.

Oooooh! THIS IS THE BEST ONE IN THE SERIES. Just when you think you have everyone in Billings figured out, you get a major reality check. Everything changes in this book and you learn so much about the characters in it. There's a reason it's called confessions.

I can make a text-to-self connection with Josh. We both have some difficulties with choosing our friends. So he was not very happy with Reed’s friend choosing and he got upset. Usually I need to keep my feeling inside of me unlike Josh. But we both care a lot about our friends.

I loved this book, it kept me on my toes. It was probably the best book that I have probably read in the whole series so far. I loved the way that the scenes that matter the most are really dramatic and exciting. I love the way that the author describes the charactors' facial expressions, the way that they act and what they are feeling when different events happen. I would write what the events that happened were but that would just spoil the book for those reading this review. I recommend this

Ah-ma-zing!!! This was the best Private book so far in the series. You never know what is going to happen intil the end of the book. Kate Brian does it again with Confessions she has you thinking one thing and then the next mintue another thing. In her books nothing is slow. There is just so much suspense and drama in this book than ever. Thomas's murder get solved in this one and you never believe who actually did it! There are so masny twists in this book you wont believe half of the things No

“Confessions” is a great adventerous book. In the book my favorite character was, of course the main character, Reed Brennan. I admire how she takes her problems and if had to pick which character I would rather be it would be her. My least favorite is probably reed’s ex-boyfriend Thomas. Thomas basically used her and lied to her that he wasn’t selling drugs and getting drunk every night. I would highly recommend this book for girl teens who like to read about other girl’s drama and how one girl

I think that "Confessions" is a really good book. Its about a girl named Reed Brennan, whose boyfriend got murdered and the crime was blamed on her current boyfriend named Josh. Reed believes that Josh is innocent and that he wouldn't do such a thing. I also think that Josh wouldn't do such a thing to because he always act like a gentleman, and he is one of Thomas's good friend. There is no way, Josh would kill Thomas. There is no reason too.
