"Thrilling Conclusion with Deadly Mysteries"

Fresh Fiction Review

Deadly Little Sins
Kara Taylor

Reviewed by Samantha R
Posted September 14, 2014

Young Adult

Anne Dowling can never resist a good mystery, even if she is strongly toeing the line of expulsion because of trying to solve previous ones. When this emerging mystery seems to connect all the way back to her first semester at Wheatley, she will dig deeper into a past she never saw coming on top of juggling her confused feelings over Brent and Anthony and trying to not get expelled for good. Once again, Kara Taylor harnesses the spot on voice of a teenage narrator who just wants to get down to the bottom of things and help the world feel a little safer all while enjoying the excitement and puzzle of it more than a little. Anne's journey up until this point has been a roller coaster of intensity with splashes of Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl. In DEADLY LITTLE SINS, Taylor leads the final plot to a place where all the burning questions from the previous books are finally answered. Anne reaches her point of no return in this novel. She has come so close to finding out what really happened with Ms. Cross that she, no matter threats of expulsion and even the threat of losing her life, cannot turn back. At the same time, she starts making incredible personal development that was present in the previous books, but is unparalleled in DEADLY LITTLE SINS. Her romances and friendships discover new nuances and revelations that make you want to give Anne a hug. Fans of the series will not be disappointed with DEADLY LITTLE SINS. Though the answers to the big questions may not be what is expected, they are clever, meaningful, and sometimes purely delicious. Kara Taylor excels when it comes to a good mystery, and with this series being over, I can only imagine what she will cook up next.

SUMMARY

In Kara Taylor's Deadly Little Sins, Anne Dowling investigates a mysterious disappearance, concluding the fast-paced and twisty Prep School Confidential series.

It’s August and Anne is back in New York City for the summer, but she can’t escape the memories of the terrible things that happened at the Wheatley School last spring— and the possibility of being expelled looming over her. When an unexpected— and suspicious— turn of events gets Anne sent back to Wheatley, she’s determined to figure out what happened to her favorite teacher and only adult ally at the school: Ms. Cross.

 

After a shocking, gruesome murder with connections to the Wheatley School occurs, Anne is convinced there’s more to Ms. Cross’s sudden disappearance, and that her favorite teacher is in danger. But after an ugly breakup with Brent and a new, inexplicable distance between her and Anthony, Anne isn’t sure who she can trust. And even worse, Anne discovers evidence that someone at Wheatley is covering up what really happened to Ms. Cross— someone who will stop at nothing to keep Anne from learning the truth in this engrossing, unputdownable read.
