I love reading series because the story never ends...that is until the last book.
I've read a lot of series in my life, The Twilight Saga, Harry Potter, The Clique...and many many more, but no series or book has ever quite drawn me in the way The Private Series did.
The first book, Private, was published in 2006.At the beginning of the series Reed Brennan escapes her terrible home life in Pennsylvania to attend the prestigious Easton Academy. She becomes intrigued by the most exclusive, most popular girls on campus..the girls that live in Billings House.
Noelle Lange, the ringleader of all that is Billings, invites Reed to move into Billings House.
In addition to being invited to live in Billings, Reed meets Thomas Pearson, the heart-throb of Easton. The two quickly become an item for all of the school to admire.
With Billings and dating Thomas Pearson comes many twists and turns. There is scandal, back stabbing--even death.
To compare it to another book, I would say it's "Gossip Girl" meets "Pretty Little Liars." It has the glamorous lives of Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen tossed together with the mystery of our favorite Rosewood Liars.
What happens in the first book extends to all 14 novels. In addition to the original 14 books, there are two prequels, "Last Christmas" and "Book of Spells", and a spinoff called "Privilege".
I can proudly say I have read every single Private book, with the exception of "Privilege." Every single book had a different story to tell but everything was linked and flowed perfectly.
The books were intense and scandalous; every single one had a twist that no one could ever see coming. Most of the time I would have to close the book because I was in such shock.
The author of BookLoverReviews says "The Private series is definitely a wonderful series, especially if you're looking for something that will keep you on your seat and constantly interested."
All the books were interesting and complex and, at the same time, such a simple, quick read. I could read one book in a single day because I was so entranced.
If you enjoy reading about the lives of rich, glamorous people mixed with mystery and scandal, The Private Series will give you everything you need.

My Future Books:
1. Glimmer: I have very high standards for books and lately, nothing has been catching my eye. This new book by Phoebe Kitandis might change all of that. The summary gives the book a very intense start; two teens wake up together and have great cases of amnesia. They soon discover the town that they have awoken in is haunted by zombies and ghosts. This book is being released April 17th, 2012. It seems to be the perfect mix between mystery, romance, and supernatural. I can't wait to read it!
2. Snow White and the Huntsman: The classic fairytale of Snow White is coming back to life with a new dark twist in Snow White and the Huntsman. The book is being released on April 17th,2012 while the movie, starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron will be released later this year. The story is the same, wicked queen, handsome prince charming, dwarves, and the perfect Snow White but there is a darker theme upon it. It's twisted and it sounds extremely interesting!
