Author: Autheras

Summary: Payment is usually part of a basic transaction. You give and then you take. But, at Arlington College, people take at their leisure. They take their entertainment in the form of humiliation. They get what they want at the expense of their pawns. But they never pay.

Chloe Whittaker has a hit list. But not the murder kind. After her best friend is ripped from Arlington, punished for her fascination with climbing the hierarchy, she knows she has to end them. One by one. Revenge is sweet, and inflicting it is even sweeter.

Reviewer's Remarks: I was eager to read this book because I relish stories of the mystery/thriller category. The fact that the author had assigned the lead character as a realistic individual who is subject to anger too. Because, what personage has never considered inflicting an act of revenge upon a personage they dislike?

I am not that far into the book to comprehend why this book has been listed as a 'mystery' novel and neither does the summary inform us of any mysterious happening but I don't want to spoil anything by disclosing major secrets since I assume the author would like to keep the audience under suspense.

The plot was very intriguing and I really enjoyed the whole concept of it. The writing style and the grammar was also fair apart from the minuscule misconceptions that may be eradicated through editing. Also, the characters who although were well-rounded and strong individuals - in my opinion - didn't seem to fit the description of an adolescent. Though the protagonist, Chole's character is intriguing and her role in this book compels the reader to proceed reading. 

I did find this book engaging and would not hesitate in listing it in my recommendations. I will also probably look further into it, succeeding the contest.

A note to the author: As I have mentioned above, this book has captured my attention and I have found myself enjoying the protagonist's quirky remarks and her personality. 

Rating (out of five): 4
