The 100 Society by Carla Spradbery – review

lifeissweetinbooks: 'Carla Spradbery captured me with the first words I saw'
  
  


There is a game called the "100 Society" where one hundred locations must be graffiti-tagged. What are the dangers? Is graffiti tagging even dangerous? Grace Becker and her friends must complete the game to become part of the 100 Society. But what Grace and her friends don't know is someone is always one step in front of them, waiting for the right moment to finalise their revenge.

Let's just say one thing; I thought this book was exactly like The Hunger Games (which I love), judging by the blurb. The blurb could have been less like a dystopian book as it is not and I wouldn't want anyone else to get the same mix up. I'd describe this book as a mixture of mystery, thriller, crime and a tiny bit of contemporary. Moving on, this book is set in a boarding school! Who doesn't like boarding schools?

One of the things which I enjoyed most about this novel was the fact that it is set in the UK. I could relate to the characters and I found myself enjoying it more. The characters were entirely convincing and I found myself wanting to know more about them. Sadly, the author didn't include any background information which was really devastating as I think that background information would make me understand and like the characters more.

What I loved about this book was the romance. It wasn't rushed and wasn't a huge part of it so didn't take over the book. My favourite character would have to be Trick: his thoughts and emotions are so guarded, I just wanted to know more about him.

Moreover I could not put the book down. Carla Spradbery captured me with the first words I saw. Such a great read and recommend it to anyone who reads YA, love thrillers and enjoy a bit of mystery. I rate this book.
