S.T.A.G.S. by M.A. Bennett

S.T.A.G.S. by M.A. Bennett was a wild ride, and one I am glad I jumped on.  This is a novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out how it will all play out.  And just when you think you have it, it will turn you on your head again.

St. Aiden the Great School is a boarding school for the ultra privileged,  and it is control by a group of six students know as the Medievals.  A group who not only establishes the rules, but feel as if they don't always apply to them.  If you are an outsider, say a scholarship student, come from new money, or have a darker skin tone, you are the target of their incessant bullying.  That is until these students are invited to a weekend at Longcross of huntin', shootin', and fishin'.  But as the weekend unfolds, we have to start wondering who the targets really are, the animals or something else.  There are so many twists and turns as the weekend goes on that, as a reader, you will often find yourself second guessing what is really going on.  This was such a fun read!

From Amazon:

"Gossip Girl meets The Hunger Games." --Bustle

"Like Mean Girls, but British and deadly. . . . This book is great, from start to finish." --Hypable 

Get ready for one deadly weekend in this twisting thriller for fans of Pretty Little Liars and One of Us is Lying that explores just how far the elite at an English boarding school will go.


Greer MacDonald has just started as a scholarship student at the exclusive St. Aidan the Great boarding school, known to its privileged pupils as STAGS. STAGS is a place where new things--and new people--are to be avoided. And in her first days there, Greer is ignored at best and mocked at worst by the school's most admired circle of friends, the Medievals.

So, naturally, Greer is taken by surprise when the Medievals send her an invitation to a sought-after weekend retreat at the private family estate of their unofficial leader, Henry de Warlencourt. It's billed as a weekend of "huntin' shootin' fishin'."

As the weekend begins to take shape, it becomes apparent that beyond the luxurious trappings, predators are lurking, and they're out for blood.
