After spending so much time with rich girls and snobby people, she just became so irritating! This book, I really did not like Josh at all.

Newly rich after learning she and Noelle are sisters (and after the murder of Noelle and her father) Reed puts all her energy into re-building the dorm. After all, Billings was the place she met Noelle and her other friends, and finally felt like she fit in. Okay! Now that y'all know, I feel much better.Īfter Billings was knocked down, Reed felt like she lost a part of herself. Vengeance (Private 14) is a Young Adult Novel By Kate Brian.

Hey guys! BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER, I AM WARNING YOU ALL THAT THIS IS THE LAST BOOK IN THE PRIVATE SERIES.
