Perfectionist
The book Perfectionist was written by Sarah Shepard ( also the writer of Pretty Little Liars) and was a really really good mystery book. It's about five girls who began talking about who they would like to kill and how. Of course they don't mean to go through with any of it. But they do decide to go through with a little prank on Nolan, a popular high school boy they all hate. They're going to slip him an Oxy (the drug of his choice), then once he's passed out, they can write all over his face an post a picture online.
But their plan backfires once Nolan is killed during their prank. The thing is- they didn't do it; so who did?
Being the police's main suspect, they all set out to find out who's actually the murderer. They think the mystery's solved once they find out that their films teacher abused people in their class and that he had the same drugs in his house that was used to kill Nolan. But then he's killed too and they're back to square one.
In the second book of the series, The Good Girls, the girls are horrified when they find out that somebody has started to kill off everybody else on the list of people they'd like to get rid of, exactly the way they'd planned. They begin to narrow down their list of suspects to somebody in their film studies class, but everything leads to a dead end.
Meanwhile, the next people on their list: A horrible girl in their class, Ashley, and Parker's dad are killed. Ava's stepmom is pushed off the balcony, and is in a coma. Nolan has already been taken care of, and the only person left on their list is Claire.
But things are NEVER the way they seem. As the girls start to figure out what's going on (I won't include this part because reading it was a huge shock) they manage to stop the murderer from killing Claire. They go to the police with the full story and are pardoned for coming up with the list and pranking Nolan, while the murderer is taken into custody.
I would give the book Perfectionist an 8.7 because it seemed like a decent, normal mystery book. But I would give The Good Girls a 9.3 because of a plot twist that really shocked me when I was reading the book and made the story all the more interesting.
I would definitely recommend this book (to people who are at least 11 and older) because the mystery is well written and worth the read. And I've also started reading Pretty Little Liars, which so far seems like a mixture of drama and mystery- but I'm not finished the series yet so we'll see how it turns out. Oh and here is what the cover for the looks like:
