I was provided with a ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Title: Prep School Confidential (PSC #1)
Author: Kara Taylor
Expected Publication: July 30th, 2013
Publishing House: St. Martin’s Griffin
Goodreads Summary:
Anne Dowling practically runs her exclusive academy on New York’s Upper East Side—that is, until she accidentally burns part of it down and gets sent to a prestigious boarding school outside of Boston. Determined to make it back to New York, Anne couldn’t care less about making friends at the preppy Wheatley School. That is, until her roommate Isabella’s body is found in the woods behind the school.
When everyone else is oddly silent, Anne becomes determined to uncover the truth no matter how many rules she has to break to do it. With the help of Isabella’s twin brother Anthony, and a cute classmate named Brent, Anne discovers that Isabella wasn’t quite the innocent nerdy girl she pretended to be. But someone will do anything to stop Anne’s snooping in this fast-paced, unputdownable read—even if it means framing her for Isabella’s murder.
Review:
Amazing!
This book blew my expectations out of the water! When I was halfway through the book, I googled the author and noticed that this is her debut novel. Yes, her debut novel. I couldn’t believe it because the book is so well written and the plot is so good that I am left speechless.
Prep School Confidential is a page turner. The twists that are thrown at you leave you breathless as if you have been running a 5k marathon. The character development, the mystery, the writing, I loved everything in this book.
Since I am posting this review three weeks before the book comes out all I can say is that if you like mystery, if you like boarding school stories, or if you want a good murder story, this is the book for you.
I think even readers that are a fan of fantasy/paranormal/dystopian books will greatly enjoy this book.
Yes, its that amazing.
Rating: 5/5

Thanks! And it is those character developments that make the twists in the story make you more bewildered. It makes resolving the murder mystery even harder!
