This is W.A.R is a story about revenge and a mystery of who really did it. Willa has drowned been murdered and now her friends are out for revenge for the one who they blame and want justice. Family with money, gets away with murder. This is what got my attention, I am always up for a good revenge plot. Sadly, that isn’t what I really got.
These are very different girls, who come together with a scheme of “revenge”. Rose is the daughter of the Country Club event planner, she is the shy one, and seemed to have a things for one of the suspects they have for Willa’s murder. Sloane is the girl trying to live up to what her parents expect her to be. Lina is the rebel of the group, she does everything she can to be different. And then ther is Madge, who is Willa’s step-sister. I believe she really care for her sister. All of these girls have their own secrets and their own reasons for wanting revenge against the Gregory boys.
In this there are several different POV’s, each from the girls and their flashbacks and the present. The flashback did give some insight into the the events that lead up to the night that Willa drowned but I found myself scratching my head wondering why these girls acted the way they did. Where were their parents in all of this? This Country Club is one place that was filled secrets, people being paid off to keep quiet, to drugs being sold. There was talks of date rape drugs and the girls took them. And willingly. Yes willingly. There wasn’t much romance other than teenage lust. The plot of this moves at a slow speed and at times I was just waiting for somethings to happen. They planned “silly pranks” as part of the revenge plan to get the killer. They didn’t work very well, and I saying to myself, “Nail the killer already!”. There were some part that I enjoyed, like Willa’s flashback, and finding out who really did drown her. This is one of the things I liked and so I kept reading, I wanted to know if my hunch was right on who did it.
Overall, this wasn’t a bad book, just not what I was expecting and looking for. I hope you’ll check out some other reviews. Predictable yes, but the mystery was pretty good. Fans of murder mysteries will enjoy it.
