The books picked back up a little with this one. Secret Satan is a great idea, although it annoyed me a little that everyone did it at the expense of Brett. I'm certainly not enjoying the absence of Easy, it really doesn't sit well with me, although I am enjoying getting my Sebastian quota. ( )

I have to admit, the IT GIRL series is one of those guilty pleasures that I have. I can't help myself when I know another release is forthcoming. So, I eagerly sat myself down the other night when I had ADORED, the eighth installment in the series, in my hands.

The crew has returned from Thanksgiving break and has to buckle down to get ready for finals. As with all the books in the series, ADORED only covers a couple of weeks in the lives of the gang at Waverly. All the players are back, and they've all got drama going on.

Callie is recently single, after having broken things off with Easy in INFAMOUS. She's on the prowl for a new beau, but it seems that the pickings are slim at Waverly. Everything changes when she spies an unknown hottie in the cafeteria.

Tinsley is back together with Julian, thanks to Yvonne Stidder's party in New York City. But now Tinsley has nagging thoughts that Julian may have lost his virginity already. He's only a freshman! And all Tinsley can do is picture Julian with...Jenny!

Jenny has become a small celebrity on campus. A group of freshman girls are filming her for a documentary for their class. The freshmen want to see how someone in the "in" crowd lives. But having a camera in her face at all hours is turning into a nightmare.

Brett is spreading herself too thin. After the senior prefect goes missing in action, the faculty comes to Brett and "asks" her to spearhead the Secret Santa program. And then, as if that wasn't enough, she gets suckered into organizing the Holiday Ball. How is she going to fit in studying for finals on top of those responsibilities?

And, as always, Heath Ferro is up to his old tricks. He's taken the Secret Santa and turned it into a Secret Satan event. The campus has gone crazy with dirty and sexy gifts rather than the old traditional ones. And let's just say that when a cop turns up in a classroom, emotions are going to boil over! {I laughed out loud at the crazy presents poor Brandon Buchanan receives!}

ADORED does not disappoint in all the craziness, mayhem, and hi-jinx that we have come to love. There was definitely some laugh-out-loud moments with this installment! With some of the content in this one, the age 15 and up notation on the back of the cover is a good guide. ( )
