Suspicion

By Kate Brian

Reed Brennan thought that a winter break in the islands with some of the Billings Girls, old and new, was just what she needed to recover from her traumatic last term at Easton. At first everything is perfect; relaxing, fun and elegant. But then things take a more sinister turn and suddenly Reed finds herself in danger once more.

If Reed wants to survive her fateful vacation she must discover who is after her and why, before it's too late

Reviews for Suspicion

When we last left Reed Brennen, she was treading water in the middle of the ocean in a couture ball gown. When we meet Reed again, well, she’s still treading. She’s been pushed of a boat on Casino Night in St. Barths. While she thought this would be a great way to relax after finding out her roommate at Easton was trying to kill her, it’s been nothing but. She’s had three near-death experiences, but that’s nothing compared to what she’s got coming. Someone on the island is trying to kill her and not until she is seeing visions of her dead boyfriend do people realize how serious this is.Kate Brian AKA Kieran Scott has done it again. Once I think that there can’t be much more drama than we’ve already witnessed, my heart sinks as death looms over the characters. I must admit after reading this though, an exotic vacation is not going to be in my near future. I am going to be paranoid even to go to my dad’s closed-in pool!Oh and I think I forgot to mention that the drama doesn’t end in St. Barths. There’s a little surprise waiting for the girls when they get back to Easton. And my hunch after reading Paradise Lost was correct. We haven’t seen the last of Sawyer, and I’m kind of happy about it.I must admit, I am kind of bummed to get this far in the series. I am loving these girls, but I only have Last Christmas left on my shelf. Looks like I am going to have to get to the bookstore and pick up Scandal and I’m ready to start the Privilege series. I did not like Ariana, but if these books are anything like the Private series, I will love them!Anyway, back to the point of the post, I give Suspicion 5 bookmarks!

Annoyingly addictive. Featuring Reed Brennan and many of the usual characters only this time on a Caribbean island during the Christmas vacation. As usual many totally unbelievable things happen and most of the people featured are awful - I hope people like this don't exist in real life! It's like a book version of 'Mean Girls'

Suspicion begins where Paradise Lost ended. Reed is mysteriously pushed off a yacht during a party and is treading water. She's eventually rescued by Sawyer and later taken to the hospital for observation. Terrified that someone tried to kill her, she immediately decides to go home. However, Noelle talks her into staying for the remainder of their vacation. During this time, Reed's life is threatened again, she learns the secret that Upton has been keeping and the reader learns the identity of the person who wants Reed out of the picture.I have to say this edition to the Private series was my least favorite. I thought it was mostly "a filler" book and found myself struggling to stay focused while reading. The saving grace was the last chapter when Reed and her friends returned to Easton Academy from winter break. The unexpected has happened to their beloved Billings House. Most importantly, there's a new student starting at Easton. Which will make for quite an interesting semester for Reed. Scandal, book eleven will be released on March 9, 2010.
