In a contest where only the most well-connected girls from the wealthiest, most powerful families can hope to win it surprises everyone when Thorndike newcomer Nicky Bloom arrives to homecoming wearing black. As the night progresses and rumors begin to spread it becomes clear that Nicky Bloom is far more than she seems.
The initial faceoff at the dance between Kim Renwick and Nicky Bloom sets them apart and the battle lines are drawn as Nicky attempts to win supporters while Kim works to cement her position as the one to back. While Kim plays on everyone’s fear of her and her family, Nicky with the help of Jill try to show them that there they have another option.
The story has an interesting premise, the rebel Network with their plan to take down the immortals. The characters were well written and fit the extremely wealthy and entitled cliché. Unfortunately, I feel like it fell short of its potential. The story seemed unbalanced, at times giving too much attention to backstory and not enough to here-and-now (meaning the dance). ( )
