I was provided with a copy of STAGS by the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.

What can I say about STAGS? This story of privilege is absolutely gripping and immersive and dark and clever, much like the mysterious Medieval's themselves. The story is told in the first person, from Greer, a new entrant to the STAGS school, who came from nothing, unlike the majority of the school's pupils.

Friendless and lonely, Greer jumps at the chance to attend the swoon worthy Henry's country home for a long weekend of huntin', shootin' and fishin', during a school holiday. Even Greer mentions that it's a bit weird how she is invited, considering how no one talks to her...

Along with the quiet Shafeen, and new money Chanel, we follow Greer's weekend with the Medieval's - where the claws come out and we see what a weekend of privilege from this group of teens has in store.

The story itself was fantastic. It flowed really well, the story didn't lag and was descriptive without going over the top. I really liked Greer and how it was in her nature to be nosy. The culmination of the story was really suspenseful and very well thought out - fantastic read, can't wait to read the sequel now.
