It's a new year and a new world for the freshly minted class of initiates. We catch up with Phoebe, Nick, Lauren, and Patch just after their little "party" on Isis Island with the Society, setting out in their new roles as Conscripts...and tensions are running high. As much as they like the opportunities that have been handed to them, they have come to a very important decision....they want OUT. Two deaths, their silence, and their obedience in exchange for a world of opportunity; the price they...more
AHHH, I don't know why there's such a negativity going around with this book. Firstly, it's like, inspired, in a sense, about all the secret societies in the world (like skull and bones, illuminati. I'm not saying you should or should not believe in it) and how they control the major things, ie media and such. So really you want to make fun of the book then DONT READ IT because the name itself is pretty damn clear.

I found this novel to be quite disappointing. Of course, the worst part about my disappointment was that it didn't even meet my extremely low expectations. For starters, there was no further development with the characters from the first novel. On top of that, the world wasn't explored any further, so my motive for reading was nullified. And the plot was shallow. So shallow. There was no depth. Which is unfortunate, because it could have been so, so good. I believe it was a mistake for the autho...more
It's probably not a good sign when you start to read 2 other books in the middle of one (this one to be particular). This book just didn't hold my attention like book #1. All of the magic seemed to be missing.
This reminded me too much of

Book 2 in a gossip girl/blue bloods read-a-like series. The plotting is convoluted, but moves along well enough for this kind of fluff. Curiously, in addition to the four intermingled hetero teens, the author throws in a single gay character. At first I thought he was doomed to die, but he managed to survive, albiet outside of the major plots until the end. Curious.
The tension is DEFINITELY ratcheted up in this sequel, and it makes the book fly by all the faster.
It was sad though, that as our core group is trying to find their way out of the Society, the relationships that were so important to them in the first book start to suffer. Ah...the angst that must come with the second book in a series!

LOVED IT
I enjoyed this one much more that the first in this series. There is a lot more suspense and action with a few twists and turns that really kept my attention and I finished this in a little over 5 hours. Does that tell you something? Of course, this one ended with a bit of an open end so I am sure there is another one in the works which I would love to read. I am sorry that this review is vague, but I can't discuss it without giving up details of the plot, so I am just going to say that...more

These books suck. The first one was interesting enough to keep my attention but the second one seemed rushed, predictable and cliche. I will not read a third, if there ever is one.
This book was almost impossible for me to put down. This is a well crafted and well written story, one that should be on everyone's reading list!

The Trust is just as fun and exciting as the first book of the series. I enjoyed the twists and turns the characters experience as they try to solve the mysteries of the Society. Thank you GoodReads for the advance copy of this cool book.
This is a great series. But is that it? Just the 2 books? I hope there's more since they left it with a twist at the end. If not it's still a good read.
Not happy with the ending...nothing was resolved. Is there a third book coming anytime soon?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I was so mad when I finished Secret Society, because I
thought it ended to fast and now I am so excited to read this when is
comes out in February 2011!!!!!!!!!
This novel was really great, and I'm wondering if there's another book next, because other wise I will be incredibly angry. Because, this ending blew my socks off.

An improvement over Secret Society as I'm starting to care about the characters and the plot was tighter (so really = 2.5 Stars), but still not a series that I find to be that engrossing given the wealth of options out there. Still, if a third book is ever released, I would likely read it just to find out what happens.
I won this book on Goodreads
When I found out I won this book I instantly went out to get The Secret Society. My sister, reading it first, said that it was amazing, but sadly I disagreed. I didn't like switching POV the entire novel. I thought things happened too fast for my enjoyment.

Meh? Blah? I can't find a word. I have no emotion.
I cannot remember a word of this... and I finished it mere hours ago.
Worse then the first one and that review still stands.
Long Review TK.

The web has become more tangled. I like the characters' dynamics .
I love these books. This one was even better than the first.
I hope there'll be sequel of this book!
