So, here they are, all pretty living on the pretty island going about their pretty and carefree business. They fall in with a clique of people known as the Crims (or criminals) and Tally is waiting to be voted into the group. She meets Zane, the head of the Crims, and is hopelessly infatuated with his gorgeousness. On the night when Tally is voted in at a large and over-the-top pretty party, she notices a somewhat familiar face in the peripheries of the crowd at the party. Upon further investigation, and making chase with the person, she remembers that she does, in fact, know him though how is a bit fuzzy at first. He hands her a letter from herself, and then disappears.
Tally reads the letter and is surprised (sort of) by the contents. The letter sends her on a wild goose chase / scavenger hunt of sorts, with Zane in tow, to figure out what it all means. And, it means a LOT. Fast forward a little, and the Crims decide to start pulling some very un-typical non-pretty shenanigans on the Pretty Island in large part due to the letter to Tally from Tally. The Crims start to get a cult-like following.
But, of course, all isn't pretty in pretty town, and some shit hits the fan in a number of ways. I won't go into that here, but there are some grand adventures, close calls, interesting revelations - all make for good reading.
Yes, these books are categorized young adult literature, but I think a person of any age can enjoy them. These books are entertaining and fast reads. I enjoyed them enough to immediately start book 3 in the series, Specials. My co-worker didn't give me the 4th book, so I'll need to check that one out from the library when the time comes. Until next time...
