3.5 rounded up
Priscilla is giving a reunion party
The gang is all here except 1
Lupe was killed years ago when they were still in college
The killer that was convicted is out. He insists he didn't kill Lupe, but everyone testified that it was him. He had blood on his hands!
Since the reunion, the Zetas are dropping off 1 by 1. The sisters are dying. Someone is out to settle the score. Perhaps Travis has been seeking revenge since he is out
The sisters better figure it out quickly before there aren't anymore of them left to do so

I liked that this whodunnit was based around a sorority sisters reunion. It had all of that collegiate drama and a lot of characters to choose from to be the culprit. I enjoyed the alternating timelines and how they told the backstory of the women and how it ties into the the current mystery at hand. Overall, I found most of the characters truly unlikeable and not at all relatable. However, I liked the storyline and all of the twists thrown in. This was a fun read for those who like a college-themed mystery!!

As a sorority girl, I won't lie. I picked this book up solely based on the title, and you know what? I'm glad I did. While the storyline is entirely predictable, it's still GOOD. Also, it may just be more predictable to me because I've been reading a lot of thrillers recently. Overall, I think that this is a very good book and I would recommend it to any thriller fans.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the early release of Zetas Til We Die by Amber and Danielle Brown. All opinions are my own.
"Zetas Till We Die" by Amber Brown and Danielle Brown delivers a fast-paced mystery that explores the complexities of sisterhood and the lingering shadows of a past tragedy. Ten years after their college graduation, the Zeta Phi Zeta sorority sisters reunite, but the celebration is marred by the recent release of Lupe's convicted killer. Priscilla, determined to honor Lupe's memory, pushes forward with the reunion, hoping it will provide a much-needed distraction. However, the festivities take a dark turn when another sister goes missing, forcing the group to confront long-buried secrets and the possibility that Lupe's murder was not as straightforward as they believed.

The book excels at creating an atmosphere of suspense. The authors effectively weave together elements of a thriller and a sorority drama, capitalizing on the close-knit yet potentially volatile dynamics of the group. The premise of a reunion haunted by a past murder is compelling, and the authors maintain a good level of tension throughout.

One of the strengths of "Zetas Till We Die" is its exploration of the enduring bonds of sisterhood. Despite the passage of time and the emergence of personal conflicts, the Zetas' loyalty to one another remains a central theme. The narrative delves into the complexities of these relationships, highlighting both the support and the rivalries that can exist within a close-knit group.

The book is an easy and quick read, making it suitable for those looking for a light yet engaging mystery. While the book keeps you guessing, some readers might find certain plot points predictable, or the character's actions a little too convenient. I was able to get an idea of the reveal early on, which is a common problem in some mystery novels. However, the authors did a good job making you doubt yourself.

The themes of secrets, loyalty, and the consequences of past actions are well-explored. The book touches on the idea that time does not necessarily heal all wounds and that unresolved issues can resurface with devastating consequences.

While the book had potential, and I enjoyed the sisterhood aspect, I gave it three stars. It's a solid mystery for those who enjoy the genre and are drawn to stories of sorority life, but it may not leave a lasting impression.

In summary: "Zetas Till We Die" is a decent mystery with a compelling premise and an engaging exploration of sisterhood. It's a quick and easy read, perfect for a weekend binge, but it may not satisfy those seeking a truly groundbreaking thriller.

This was a thrilling and suspenseful read. I will admit that I was sometimes "out of the loop" for the designer fashions these girls wore (what can I say - I'm old) but I liked the sisterly feeling of the sorority, the differing points of view, and of course, the mystery! I'm always impressed when two authors can work on one novel and it feels cohesive.
Definitely one I'll be getting for my college age daughter to read - she loves mysteries, too!
Thanks for my review copy!

okay I usually do not like multiple timelines but this was alright. I did enjoy Priscilla as a main character. The mystery was pretty easy to figure out, including who the killer was. The book was a bit too long and the other characters were introduced a little too late in the story for me to connect with them. overall a good book.

Zeta's Till We Die is an exciting, fast-paced story of loyalty, survival, and sisterhood. Amber and Danielle Brown’s writing immerses you in their world, creating a compelling, action-packed read.

The story follows a determined protagonist who navigates this treacherous landscape, battling against the powerful Zeta cartel while grappling with personal demons and moral dilemmas. The author's vivid and unflinching portrayal of the brutality of cartel life is both shocking and compelling, drawing readers into a world where survival is paramount.

The pacing is relentless, keeping readers on the edge of their seats as the plot unfolds with unexpected twists and turns. Character development is strong, with multi-dimensional figures who evoke empathy and provoke thought about the choices they make. The themes of loyalty, revenge, and the impact of crime on society resonate throughout the narrative.

Arc Review - thank you netgalley.
I really enjoyed this books tone/vibe. That being said, I did call the murderer pretty early on which was a bit disappointing.
However, the characters were compelling and I enjoyed their flaws. I was expecting this to be in a sorority but this takes place years after. Overall if you're looking for a mystery/thriller that has good vibes, this is it.

Just couldn't get myself invested in this one; was pretty run of the mill for a thriller. I do appreciate short chapters, though, but wasn't interested in reading adults acting like teens.

3.5/5 stars

This book was very interesting! At first I really struggled with how slow the story was. The past time line was so minor at the beginning and did not add to the story until much later. Like I wish we would have see more of the past in detail at the beginning of the story instead of the repetitive I felt like I got from the first fortyish percent of this book. It took so long first the first buddy to be found and then all the sudden more people were dying. But when everybody started dying things will started to build in the story!! There was some plot points that I felt like did not really add to the story. They were suppose to be distraction to keep you from figuring out the "mystery" but they were just adding words and pages. I did not feel like they actually effected the story in big ways to have been such "big" things. Once everything got going tho I was there for the story! The last 20% was great!! The big plot twist that came about the past was so well done and had me gasping out loud. If you like Mysteries this is a good one to add to your TBR. The last thing I will say is: Justice for Travis.

Zetas Till We Die by Amber and Danielle Brown is a mystery thriller that follows Priscilla and her Zeta Phi Zeta sorority sisters as they reunite for their ten-year college reunion. It's been a decade since they were all together, and since one of their own, Lupe, was murdered. The man convicted of Lupe's murder has just been released from prison on a technicality, casting a shadow over their reunion. Determined to honor Lupe's memory, Priscilla insists the party must go on. However, when one of the sisters goes missing after the party, Priscilla realizes that the past is far from settled. As secrets unravel and the danger escalates, the Zetas must confront the truth about what really happened the night Lupe died. The character development is solid, particularly with Priscilla, who emerges as a strong and determined leader. The dynamics between the sorority sisters are well-explored, highlighting themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the lengths people will go to protect their secrets. However, some of the secondary characters could have been more fleshed out to add depth to the story. The pacing is generally good, though there are moments where the story feels a bit slow. The suspense builds effectively, leading to a satisfying and unexpected conclusion. The authors do a commendable job of weaving in the backstory and the present-day events, creating a cohesive and compelling narrative. Overall, Zetas Till We Die is a decent read with a strong central mystery and well-developed main characters. Despite some minor flaws, it shows promise for Amber and Danielle Brown as writers. I'm curious to see how their storytelling evolves in future works. #netgalley #zetastillwedie

Thank you to Grayden House for the digital copy to review.

This is my second read of this sister author duo, and I really enjoyed it. Told in two timelines, past and present, I thought that while this took a little while to set up, the dual timeline worked well here. I was vested from the start and did not see the ending coming at all. I am looking forward to seeing what this duo writes next!

At first I was totally drawn in! I was flying through the first part of this story because there was just so much going and so many mysteries! The middle part was intriguing with all the secrets coming out all the crazy things happening. However, the ending was not really what I was hoping for after getting the whole story. I also wasn’t a huge fan of all the infidelities that were going on. I think the fractures of the main character’s relationship with her husband really made me not as interested in the story. Overall it was a twisty, mostly exciting book, but in the end I wasn’t super impressed.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. As someone who detested sororities in college, the premise sounded interesting and I wanted to give it a shot. All of the sisters had unlikable traits but they were messy and I was here for it. The reveal of whodunnit was fairly predictable but I enjoyed the twists and turns along the way. I really love how the author worked through Travis’ character arc. If you are looking for a whodunnit that also reads a bit like a reality show then give this a go!

Many thanks to Netgalley for the e-arc!

So I've read these authors previous books and loved them too, so when I saw this pop up on Netgalley I knew I had to request it. But boy I wasn't expecting this book to absolutely destroy me at the end. I sobbed for like five minutes at the end of the book. I won't get into spoilers but it hurt (not in a good way) but in a way that the book needed to end. I will always read these authors, they are incredible!

I really tried to like this one, but I could not get too far in. It was just not for me. The writing is all over the place and parts make no sense, I got 20% in and still didn’t feel pulled to it or that the story was moving along well. The characters were a bit all over the place and not believable.

Years ago, Priscilla, Dionne, Alexis and Lupe and others promised that they would be ‘ZETAS TILL WE DIE’ as sorority sisters at Acadia University. One of the group was indeed a Zeta till she died when she is found at the bottom of the stairs with a broken neck and her stalker standing over her body. He eventually went to jail for murder. Just before the sisters’ 10 year reunion, however, Travis Wolfe is released from prison on a technicality. The sisters decide to go ahead with the reunion and party in Lupe‘s honour. When a fight breaks out at the party and one of the sisters is reportedly missing the following morning, the girls wonder if history is repeating itself. Priscilla and her sisters work to try to piece together what really happened and why her husband Liam is reluctant to bring in the police.

I loved the element of having each other‘s back and Priscilla‘s dogged determination to pull the pieces together and find out what was really at the centre of both the tragedy of the past and the current disappearance, all the while dealing with cracks in her own marriage and the distancing of her husband. The writing duo of Amber and Danielle Brown wove an intricate tapestry of twists and turns that led to an enjoyable read. This is my first novel by this duo but their names will be on my radar.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Paperback for this ARC opportunity. All opinions are my own and given voluntarily.

3.5. This was a roller coaster ride! I received an ARC of this book and to be honest it can use a ton of editing, but it was smart and had tons of amazing character development. There were things I was able to lightly guess but I never was able to fully see what was come. Definitely very devastating and sad, at times I honestly forgot it was a thriller.

Pick this book up if you are a fan of horror movies from the 90s and early 2000s. It gives everything you want in a classic thriller, especially with the duo time points and plot twist. One moment, I thought I figured out who the killer was, and then I was wrong. This book was a great read, and the pacing was fantastic. I highly recommend this book and hope you enjoy it,

Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.
