\u201cHow often, in the world, is silence what allows horrible people to get away with their crimes?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Maya has returned to Princeton for her college reunion \u2013 it\u2019s been a decade since she graduated, and this visit is special because she will also be attending the graduation of her little sister, Naomi. But what should have been a dream weekend becomes Maya\u2019s worst nightmare when she receives the news that Naomi is dead. The police are calling it an accident, but Maya suspects that there is more to the story than they are letting on. As Maya pieces together what happened in the months leading up to her sister\u2019s death, she begins to realize how much Naomi hid from her. Despite Maya\u2019s warnings, Naomi had joined Sterling Club, the most exclusive social club on campus \u2013 the same one Maya belonged to. And if she had to guess, Naomi was likely tapped for the secret society within it. Maya knows that her sister isn\u2019t the first person in the society to turn up dead. Now every clue is leading Maya back to the past . . . and to the secret she\u2019s been keeping all these years.<\/p>\n

I am not gonna say much about this book because I honestly have nothing much to say. I don\u2019t have anything to rant about, it\u2019 was a good concept and the idea was very well pitched, the cover and the blurb were solid, easy to lure anyone however there were some things that just did not work out for me. \u00a0The first half was well done, I was hooked and I was intrigued and I wanted to binge it. The mystery aspect and the back forth during the first half was really nice between the two point of views and two settings. The characters were fun to read about and the unsettling feelings that revolved around them. However, the pacing overall was very slow, despite being hooked during the first half it. It took me a fair amount of time to get through it and during the second half I lost momentum. The story started to lose itself in the second half. Everything got so messy with execution and the thing just lost their charm which overall dulled my experience.<\/p>\n

I rated this novel 3.5 stars. Overall, it may work for some of you but it definitely was not for me or at least the second half wasn\u2019t. I do believe that this author can do better and I may read more of her books in the future. It wasn\u2019t a bad book, it was just very messy. I kept waiting for the shocking aspect that was never there. <\/p>\n
