Paradise awaits....

Now that Cheyenne's murderer has been revealed and Reed knows the truth about who's been stalking her, she's ready to leave the heartache and turmoil of last semester behind. And what better way to recover than a five-star Caribbean vacation?

Reed is reunited with former Billings Girls Kiran and Taylor, and she and her friends take over the exclusive island. They spend their days tanning on white-sand beaches and their nights partying on sixty-foot yachts.

It's heaven on earth.

But as they raise their champagne flutes to toast their friendship, Reed worries that it's all too good to be true. Because even in paradise, the Billings Girls are never far from trouble -- and nothing's more dangerous than the calm before the storm....

I really loved this book. I don't know why people said they didn't like it!! So in the last book they leave you at a cliffhanger which is so annoying but leaves you wanting more. In this new addition it does the same thing! But this new book brings in new and OLD characters for you to know and love.

When the sabine incident is over, reed, kiran, taylor, and noelle all decide that its time for a break so they head to St. Barths. Now there having endless parties, shopping, and boys!!!!! Reed doesnt want to fall in love.....again. But mabye thats what is in the cards.....

But if you know reed then you know there's a hurricane coming. Reed gets the feeling thats she's AGAIN!!!!! But her friends thinks she's just being paranoid.............

READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!

First about the book: It was amazing !!! I can't stop myself untill it ends. The story really keeps you like the others books of the serie, you'll hold your beath untill the lost word of the last page.
And about the place where I bought : the_book_depository was perfect, I had some inssues with the brazilian mail and they help me, they were avaiable to send me another book wihout cost if my mail didn't find the books that were missing. They really belive in your word, for now I'll always buy on then. And the most important the books were in perfect condition and come all protect in a special box.

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2009
I have read the whole series and I have to say that I really like them. I would normally hate any series with this much drama, but Kate Brian writes them so well. Every other second some one is trying to kill Reed, which can get mighty annoying but very intreging. Overall a good book.

After the dramatic ending of Revelation, Reed is now off to St. Barts with Noelle and the rest of the Billings girls for some sun and a relaxing time. Instead she ends up in the 'Upton game' who will be first to get with the hottest guy on the island, Upton Giles?

But of course, nothing is so simple for Reed. She isn't the only one who falls for him (despite declaring her complete love for Josh at the beginning of the book) and suddenly strange things start happening to Reed. She feels like she's constantly being watched and bad stuff keeps happening to her, putting her life in danger, leaving this book on a cliff hanger once more, not dissimilar to Revelation in anyway.

I'm sorry, but what here is new? We once again have Reed being stalked, currently by an unknown, she's once again falling for the new hottest guy who of course thinks she's more amazing than any other girl ever, and she's still being dominated by Noelle, refusing to grow a back bone and give the girl the slap she deserves, claiming instead to be best friends.

The pace of the book is enough to keep reading, but nothing here is new or enough that I couldn't put it down. It's getting a little more than tedious and I'd like to see something a bit different. Even if that's simply Reed going back to Josh! Reality has never been the series strong point, but it's been interesting and a bit of silly fun none the less. Not this, this is just a repeat of the previous few books, with the pace sped up a little. You could see everything coming in this one, it didn't have any of the tension of previous books. And the beginning after the long wait from the great ending of Revelation was actually a real let down, really pretty boring. A real let down. Won't be looking for the next with any anticipation.
