* I got this book for review*
I think this book feel a bit flat for me. It was pitched me to me as girl trying to uncover the mystery of her mother death. I think this book was more focued on the elite prep school and the secret soceity and it adventrues on campus. I did like he main character. I also did like all the talk of abuse and how schools can do better. I also thought the battle about the sexaual assult was a nice plot line. But it did not capture me as much as her previous book do. The ending i felt was rather rushed and felt like it was left super open ended. Not a new fav, but a fast pace read!! ( )

Calliope Bolan transfers to a private school to try and forget the car accident that killed her mother six years earlier. But going to Tipton (her mother’s alma mater) brings out suppressed memories that may make matters worse. Trying to fit in she is invited to and joins a secret society within the school.

This is a certainly a mystery and I it kept me interested for a long while and I really enjoyed it. But as the ending started getting closer and the pages dwindling, I was thinking to myself it can end so quickly. And it didn’t. It left so many questions unanswered that I felt cheated. ( )

Where did it all start...With the car accident that killed her mother? With the death of an unlikable privileged Tipton student years ago? When Calliope saw a stranger that looked so familiar she is convinced he had something to do with her mom's death when the car Calliope, Laureli, and Serafina were passengers in ended up in a narrow, but deep body of water? Or was there something else that started her unpredictable plunge into that murky space between reality and what she thought was reality.
When Calliope transfers to Tipton Academy to start her junior year, she's invited to join Haunt & Rail, a secret society that has twenty members and engages in stealth campaigns to better the lot of the student body and fight injustices the administration and trustees ignore. She's determined to discover the identity of the mystery man, but the deeper she digs and the more involved she becomes with the secret society, the more blurred the line between right and wrong becomes, and the secrets she uncovers pull her in multiple and very painful directions. The ending is one of the best 'what if's' I've encountered in years. This is definitely a must add for libraries. ( )
