This is a difficult call to make. Not sure if I loved the book or hated it. Definitely creepy and disturbing. Well written but overall can't give it more than three stars. A bit too unbelievable to be believed.

Goode girls lie.

J.T. Ellison brings to life the world of an all-girls prep school, where the daughters of the privileged, the wealthy, the connected are sent to prepare them for admittance to the Ivy League.

But pampered daughters have their own agendas, and the secrets and lies fester under the veneer of breeding and sophistication. And one girl may have more secrets to protect than most.

When one girl is found dead — suicide? murder? — those secrets start to bubble to the surface. Because some secrets are nothing but lies.

Ellison has created a world that will. Draw the reader in and keep the lights burning far into the night.

An excellent book that is sure to draw the attention of both the mature and the YA audience. Really tells it like it is and draws you in slowly but surely.

The book opens with a girl hanging from the gates of the elite all girls school Goode School. We are soon introduced to Ash Carlisle who is a transfer student from Oxford, who's parents both have just died. As she tries to keep her head down and keep a low profile, she gets off on the wrong foot with the queen bee of the school, Becca Curtis. As the story progresses you are thrown into the world of secret societies and honor codes within the walls of the school. Unfortunately, I found this book to be a bit juvenile, definitely more of a young adult book. Ash was always complaining about trivial drama (dirty looks, rumors), which i guess is typical for highschool. For me I was not scheduled with any twist or turns like I would be with most thrillers and mysteries. I just wasn't into this one.
I want to thank netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

You may want to read the author’s other books, Lie to me and Tear me apart before venturing into this one. Everyone wants to be friends with Ash Carlisle. The beautiful British girl has transferred to The Goode School, a prep school for the wealthiest of the wealthy and she’s uber popular. But there appears to be a price for that friendship, as students closest to her die. Dying to be popular just took on another meaning at The Goode School
