Synopsis:
You are cordially invited to participate in a game of thrills and dares. Tell no one, and come alone. If you dare.
Hope is sick of everyone treating her like she’s breakable. Sure, she has cystic fibrosis (basically really bad lungs), but she’s tired of being babied by her mom and her overprotective best friend, Ethan, not to mention worrying about paying for her expensive medication and how she’s going to afford college.And she’s bored with life in her run-down New Orleans suburb.
When an invitation arrives from a mysterious group that calls itself the Society, Hope jumps at the chance for some excitement. This could be her ticket out. All she has to do is complete a few dares and she just might win some real money.
But the Society isn’t all that it seems . . . and soon Hope finds that playing the game isn’t a choice—it’s a requirement.

My Thoughts:
With this book, think Pretty Little Liars. This was an AMAZING book and one that was very hard to put down, which means I basically finished this read in one afternoon. I really wanted to know who was behind the invites and what was going to happen on the next task. Not only that, but I really loved the diverse cast of characters. Each of the characters were unique and interesting in their own way, but I have to admit that my favorite character was Hope. While she was forced to live a life different than most due to her disease, she didn’t let that slow her down. She was brave and fierce, and a little foolish at times, but definitely a well-rounded character.
The ending..well I’m not going to tell you how it ends, but it was unexpected for sure. While I thought I had the ending figured out as I neared the end of the book, I was completely wrong. Definitely wasn’t what I expected, and now I need book two!
Dead Girls Society can be found at your local book retailer or online at stores like Amazon.
