Seventeen-year-old Kirsten Sawyer, and her best friend Samantha Byrne - as well as their posse of pals - are totally living on easy street. Their parents - all rich, and upper-class - deck them out in diamonds, send them to the poshest prep schools, and make them feel ultra-fabulous by having huge, lavish apartments located on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The teens spend their time shopping, checking out guys/girls, and partying. That's where The Party Room enters the picture. Anybody who's anybody spends time at The Party Room, a place where cocktails are downed like Coke, the bartender's are super-hot, and the hook-ups happen just about every 2.5 seconds. Everyone loves The Party Room. Until Samantha meets a guy there, and takes off with him. Suddenly she's missing, and then found dead in Central Park. The victim of a brutal murder. The suspects? None. But it's obviously the work of a copycat killer from Talcott Prep. Kirsten knows that it's now her responsibility as Sam's best friend to track the killer before he strikes again, while at the same time trying to avoid becoming his next victim.

Morgan Burke has created an exciting new teen thrillogy reminiscent of R.L. Stine's FEAR STREET. The characters found in GET IT STARTED are sinfully delicious - hooking up, partying up, and drinking up every day of the week. Those who enjoy a cross between Cecily von Ziegesar's GOSSIP GIRL books, and R.L. Stine's FEAR STREET series will find themselves lunging for GET IT STARTED, as well as it's two sequels AFTER HOURS and LAST CALL. One of the best new series to hit the teen section this year.

This book will keep you awake and won't let you put the book down. It is very intense all the way through the book and gives you a whole new look on your own life. This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. The way the author puts the whole book together makes you feel like you are right there with Kirsten trying to find Sam with her.

I found all of the books in this series to be enjoyable, suspenseful, and wonderfully written. They keep you interested the whole way through.

I just finished reading this book and it was so amazing! From the very beginning I was hooked. I dont think i had ever read a such a suspensful book. Once I started there was no stopping.

Just an ordinary night out at their favorite club turns out to be the worst night of their life for a group of friends. When one of their group, Sam, goes missing it takes a toll on everyone. Her best friend, Kristin, blames herself and soon finds herself questioning those around her for Sam's disappearance. Just when she thinks its all over she finds out that its only the beginning.

I cant wait to dive into the second part of this trilogy. I am sure Morgan Burke will deliever another thrill ride.

The party room is the best book I ever read. Once I started I couldn't put it down. You don't when somethings going to happen. Its so good. I love this book

This was a good book. When I was reading it I could not put it down. I spent the whole time trying to figure out who killed sam. It was not slow moving at all. If given the chance I would read this book.
