After getting rid of her best-friend-turned-enemy, Arian Osgood should be on top of the world. She's in love with a hot guy, and she's established herself as an elite member of a secret society. But now that Lexa Greene knows a terrible secret about her, everything that Ariana has worked so hard for hangs in the balance. Can she keep up the facade . . . or will her house of cards tumble around her?
My Rating: 7.5 out of a possible 10

Explanation: This is the fifth (and most recent) book in the Privilege series, which is a spinoff series of the Private series. I would strongly suggest reading the Private books prior to the Privilege books, of which this is the most recent.
 
I picked up the first in the Private series as a quick summer read, and while it may not be a work of literary art, or the characters may not bring tears to my eyes, the plot is what shines. These books are keep a fast and riveting plot, with character and plot twists around every corner.
 
As far as this book specifically, I was excited to see what twist or challenge Ariana would face now. I was not disappointed. The actions of one of the characters was a little over dramatic, but I haven't gone through the trauma inflicted on her in previous novels, so perhaps I'm just out of the loop. I would have liked to have seen more secret society ceremony. The entire book was made much better by the last few paragraphs, the biggest plot event in this series in my opinion. I am very excited to see how this dilemma works itself out for Ariana, and if anyone dies in the process.
