When I received "The Trust," I was a little apprehensive about reading it at the beginning, because of the fact that I had heard that sequels are never as good as the originals (and really though, it is very true with some of the books I've read and movies that I have seen). As soon as I began to read this book, I was hooked into it, just like I was with the first book in this series. The trials that Nick, Patch, Phoebe, Lauren, and Thad had to go through in this book so that they could leave the Society were riveting, and I definitely was unable to ever put the book down!
This book began with Alejandro's funeral, during which, Nick's grandfather has a stroke. When Nick and Phoebe get to the hospital to see Nick's grandfather, he gives them some exciting news; there is a way for them to get out of the Society! Nick and Phoebe are overjoyed and they rush to tell the others that there is a way out! Of course, the way out is harder than it seems. First they must solve a riddle that was told to them by a man who wasn't too aware of the things that he was saying, and then they have to be able to convince the elders in the society itself to let them go. Will they ever be able to get free from the clutches of the society that holds them so tightly in its grasp?
This book was so much fun to read! After I began, I couldn't put it down, which was slightly bad because I began it before school one day, and therefore was almost late to school because I was so keen on finishing it (which, in case you're wondering, I did end up doing right before I got to school). The way that the necklace, the amulet of Isis, was tied into the storyline, through all three generations of the Bells and the people close to them was really interesting to me as was *spoiler alert* the fact that Patch and Nick were brothers. That came out of nowhere! I was so surprised, which is rather hard for an author to do to me, seeing as I've read so many books, that many a times I can predict how the book is going to end. All in all, "The Trust" was really amazing and I honestly think that anyone will be able to pick up this series and start reading them and end up loving them!
Book received at no charge.

The Trust: A Secret Society Novel Who can you trust when everything is secrets and lies?
It's a new semester at the Chadwick School, and even with the ankh tattoos that brand them, Phoebe, Nick, Lauren, and Patch are hoping for a fresh start. Each day, however, they are reminded of their membership as new Conscripts in the Society. The secret group that promised to help them achieve their every dream has instead turned their lives into a nightmare.
Exclusive membership lost its luster as the Society revealed its agenda to them and two of their classmates were found dead. Now they can't help but wonder: Who's next? While they search for the elusive truth about the Society, the Conscripts are forced to face their darkest fear-that they truly can't get out.
Will Nick and Phoebe's new relationship endure this strain? Can Patch and Nick's longtime friendship survive the truth that will come to light? The deceptions of the group's leaders, once trusted friends, and family will test these four as they fight to leave the Society behind.
The Trust, Tom Dolby's sequel to secret society, is an alluring glimpse behind the facade of a life of entitlement, where secrets aren't merely fun-they're deadly.
