J'ai ouvert les yeux, et le décor familier de ma chambre s'est précisé peu à peu. C'est alors que j'ai eu un sursaut. J'aurais juré que je n'avais pas fait mon lit ce matin. Pourtant, il était impeccablement fait, les oreillers bien gonflés et les draps pliés au carré, comme à l'hôpital. Et sur le dessus-de-lit en patchwork, une rose rouge. Sur le coup j'ai cru que c'était Christopher qui l'avait déposée en douce. Une petite carte blanche était glissée sous la tige hérissée d'épines. À sa vue, une boule d'angoisse m'a obstrué la gorge. D'une écriture que je ne connaissais que trop bien, les quatre mots suivants, soulignés trois fois, s'étalaient en lettres majuscules : ON SE RETROUVERA BIENTÔT

Isso se Cheyenne permitir. Afinal, o privilégio de se tornar uma menina do Billings não pode ser ignorado.

Vivi le découvre peu à peu à travers les faux mails de ses copines. Mais la soirée approche et c'est la panique : il faut trouver de toute urgence le garçon parfait qui incarnera le cyber boyfriend ! Et surtout, Vivi va-t-elle succomber au charme de ce mec en toc?

He's absolutely perfect. If only he were real. Lane and Vivi have had it with Isabelle Hunter's boyfriend, Shawn Littig (a.k.a. Sluttig). He is the only person who can turn their smart, confident best friend into a complete mess. When Shawn Sluttig cheats on and dumps Izzy just months before the prom she's been planning since the ninth grade, Lane and Vivi decide to take action. With a few quick keystrokes, they create a MySpace page for "Brandon," the perfect guy to get Izzy out of her revolving-door relationship with Shawn. Too bad he's totally fake. Vivi's younger brother, Marshall, who they hire to be the "man" behind the profile, is way too into being Izzy's fake boyfriend. So they turn to cute, prep-school Jonathan to be the face of Brandon. But when Vivi falls for Jonathan, and Sluttig tries to wedge his way back into Izzy's prom picture, the whole plan starts to go south faster than you can say "fake boyfriend."

Arianna Osgood has finally returned to the life she is accustomed to and vows to keep it, no matter what the cost.

With her parents gone on vacation, seventeen-year-old Lila Beckwith is ready to throw a killer Christmas party until her little brother Cooper and his best friend Tyler run away on a mission to save Santa from global warming.

The biggest mystery of all...and Reed is dying to learn the truth. Two months after Cheyenne Martin was found dead in her Billings House dorm room, exclusive Easton Academy is rocked by another stunning revelation: Cheyenne was murdered. No one knows who the killer is, but everyone agrees that Reed Brennan, who took over Cheyenne's role as Billings's president, gained the most from her death. Once the most powerful girl on campus, Reed is now powerless to stop her classmates' accusing whispers. Rumors begin to swirl that she killed Cheyenne. And just like that, Reed is kicked out of Billings. She's lost everything -- her friends, her home, her boyfriend -- and Reed knows the only way to get it all back is to figure out who really murdered Cheyenne. And she has to do it fast because the killer is still out there. The more Reed investigates, the more she uncovers. And as any Billings Girl knows...secrets can be deadly.

The price of power... After Cheyenne Martin's death, everyone at Easton Academy is struggling to recover from yet another tragedy--especially the girls of Billings Hall. With Cheyenne gone, they need to elect a new leader. And who better than Reed Brennan, the ultimate Billings Girls? As the new Billings president, Reed suddenly has access to power she never imagined. Gossip is reported to her immediately, she has first dibs on everything from dining tables to dorm rooms, and Billings's most powerful alumnae are at her beck and call. So when Easton's students discover they're the only prep school on the East Coast not invited to this year's all-inclusive Legacy party, everyone turns to Reed to get them back on the list. Reed is the most powerful girl at Easton. She revels in her newfound status, but knows better than anyone that the Bilings leaders have a tainted legacy: Ariana was institutionalized, Noelle was expelled, and Cheyenne just died. History has a way of repeating itself at Easton, and now that Reed has everything she's ever wanted, she has everything to lose.

 The higher you climb, the farther you have to fall.... Reed Brennan knew being elected president of exclusive Billings Hall would change her life. What she didn't count on was being dumped by her boyfriend, Josh Hollis, or being held responsible for a fire that destroyed Easton Academy's oldest building. And now the administration wants to shut Billings down. Forever. As president, it's up to Reed to save Billings Hall. What better way to win over the head­master than to host a glam fund-raising event in New York City? Everyone needs a date, and the newly single Reed is the most eligible girl on campus. All of Easton's hottest boys are angling to take her out, and for once, Reed's biggest problem is which one to choose. Reed has never felt so popular or powerful -- until the police start asking questions about Cheyenne Martin's death. Excited party buzz quickly turns to whispered rumors and dark moods, and one thing becomes clear: There is someone who wants to see Billings, and Reed, go down. And they will do anything to make it happen.

"Reed's new boyfriend Josh has been arrested for her ex-boyfriend's murder, but Reed is convinced that he is innocent and that the killer is still out there. Desperate to uncover the truth, Reed does some digging - but what she unearths is more dangerous than even she knew. For the girls of Billings Hall have more secrets than the CIA, and they aren't relinquishing their hold on Reed. Once a Billings Girl, always a Billings Girl... Forever."--Back cover.
