  eeb46-review2bimage2b12Please read the other books in the series before you even attempt this one. They are closure books, but out of the characters in the series I think Nate, from a previous book is the complex male character, this book has Paige. I think we FINALLY get the answers to how this scandalous character has come to be.

At the first intro to Paige and her friend/enemy Chandra you are appalled at the way she throws her sister under the bus. I admit it was so hard to read the first half of this book. I was disgusted by Paige and her need to fit in with the sorority. Thinking that Chandra was on a pedestal was outrageous. So, moving on…I will say that Houston’s character had a really unique story. There is a lot that happens to finally put the tiny pieces together for Houston.

I really found the backstory of Paige the most fascinating because, like I said it helps to get to the rotten roots and evil personality. Do I hate her? not anymore. I liked her twin sister so much more than I could ever have imagined. There is a tale of forgiveness here. Overall I think the evil Paige may just be the bruise in your apple, ya know the one you cut out and eat the rest? That one, yeah maybe she is even a little juicy.

Lastly there are a few minor characters that I needed to balance out the evil. Thankfully I liked Houston’s Mom, the best friend and sorta simple Casey, and lastly Leah. I want to add that I loved Chandra. Yeah I know the nemesis is to be hated and I did hate her but I loved to hate her. She is THE one that you love to hate. I think weaving a character as complex as Chandra was not easy, so therefore I appreciate the evil **^*#* even more!
