Review:

I loved this book!  The writing had me keep coming back to it when I had to adult.  I usually have quite a few books going at once so I don't get 'bored', but that was not an issue with this book at all.  If I didn't have a bad RA flare while reading this, I would have gotten it done in a few hours as I excited to see where the story went.  This story was well thought out and planned.  The ending was perfect.

I thought Charm would get away with it all.  I really did.  I thought Billy would just submit to Charms story.  I am so glad that wasn't the case.  It's about time the story was told different then waiting until the 'weaker' character was an adult & telling the story.  

Goodreads Description:

A trio of middle schoolers forms a sinister secret society.

Their first order of business?

Ritual sacrifice, of course.

Thirteen-year-old Charmane “Charm” Wilson just saved a boy’s life—but broke about a dozen laws doing it. So as she’s hailed a hero by local law enforcement, Charm knows that if the whole story ever got out, her own life could be in peril.

True, being swept up in a murderous plot wasn’t entirely her fault. However, Charm’s drastic choices while navigating the unthinkable were hers and hers alone. Now she must cover her tracks or risk being exposed, arrested, vilified—or maybe even worse.
