Legacy (Private Series) - Book Maddening Mode

When I looked at the cover of this book, I knew that this book is going to be another typical popular rich girls involved in sorority drama + scandal + mystery + power and all the elements of students attending private school. The good thing about reading a typical genre is that you know what it's going to be like, it may not give you so much suspense like Sidney Sheldon books but it's not going to bore you to death either. Reading some typical book is like ordering that dish that you already know how it taste like but still you order it for the sake of eating it again and to make yourself full. And that was exactly what I was doing. I have expectation towards this book, but if it doesn't meet up to my expectation, then that's the downside of reading something typical. And I digressed...

So let's get back to the main focus, which is to give my review on this book.

Okay, so this book, LEGACY, is one of the PRIVATE series.

I guessed by reading LEGACY, I've skipped the earlier PRIVATE series and left blur blur with all the characters mentioned in LEGACY. That's the thing annoying about reading book series. You skip the first volume or the other volumes before that particular volume that you are reading, you are going to be left in the lurch.

The story revolves around Reed Brennan, a scholarship student who entered the prestigious Easton Academy Private School. Coming from a middle class family, she is not the typical private school rich girl type, and of course SO TOTALLY not the Billing girls type. Billing House is the sorority house for the posh and rich girls who are the member of the Billing underground society. The society is so exclusive, you have to be popular, rich and daring to be one of the Billings, but in this volume of the PRIVATE series, Reed is elected the president after the death of Cheyenne Martin, the previous Billing president. I guessed in the previous series, Reed had proven herself to be worthy of being Billing girls. In this volume, Reed could not get over the fact that Cheyenne sent her an e-mail blaming Reed for her suicide before she died.

And during this year, it was the first time the Billing girls and the students from Easton Academy were not invited to Legacy, a very exclusive and grand party that got people talking. Only the third generation of private school attendees are eligible to be invited to this party. Thus, as the new president of Billings, Reed had to find a way to get the girls and her friends to the party, though she herself was sure she was not eligible to attend it herself.

At the same time, in the midst of all that troubles, Reed felt that she was being watched, but by who?

So how did she manage to get the girls to the party? And who is that mysterious person who threw the LEGACY party and deliberately left Easton students out of the guest list? And was Reed dreaming or being a plain paranoid when she felt that she was being watched?

Read this book and better, the whole PRIVATE series, and you will find the answers. Or else you will left hanging with no answer like me for just depending on this one book to read. Hmmph.
