Title: Dirty Girls
Author: Lily White
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: January 29, 2020
Rich and privileged.
Gorgeous and cruel.
The poster boys for rebellion…their tongues so sharp they cut to the bone.
We worshipped them despite their dangerous games.
We laughed even as we cried.
It was all fun and games until the first dirty girl died.
Now, as the bodies pile up, I believe I can endure their wicked ways. Only time will tell if I’ll escape.
Because when wealthy boys are accustomed to getting everything they want, not even the lives of those around them are too high an asking price.
Warning: This book is a dark romance. If you are looking for a sweet and tender story, you won’t find it here.

“... a fascinating, disturbing, intriguing and thought provoking read.” ~Amazon Review
***4 Stars***
This was a fascinating, disturbing, intriguing and thought provoking read.
Which pretty much goes for most of what this author puts out into the world, but it needed to be said.
What else needs to be said is that I find myself in a weird spot because I really enjoyed the suspense/murder mystery side of the story, I had a hard time with the characters in this one. Not all, but a lot of them.
As for the murder mystery side of the coin, it was well crafted in every way and when the big reveal came, everything made sense ~ in a twisted and heart breaking sort of way.
As for the characters. Even though the majority of them had me growling and wanting to use a 2x4 to smack some sense into them ~ a couple I did want to gut with a spoon, especially one in particular but I shall not name that person since this is a non-spoilery review ~ I found them fascinating in how they justified the choices they made based on boredom, a false sense of superiority or simply a need to belong. These characters are all flawed, even the two I actually liked, and regardless of my reactions to them, they definitely made the observer of human nature in me all kinds of happy.
I know this review is all kinds of vague, but it had to be because everything is in the details and I did not want to inadvertently give anything away. Overall, I enjoyed this book ~ even with all the eye rolling and growling I did ~ the suspense was well done and I liked how it all played out. The “romance” side, as well as some of the interpersonal relationships, was done well, but there certain relationships I would have liked to have gone deeper with, one in particular I definitely needed more out of in the end, but I do understand why things worked out with them the way they did. There is one character I would love to spend more time with, but maybe it’s best to just leave things as they were in the book.
Note: This book is filled with triggers, FILLED.
