Sisterhood Above All by Kathleen Barber with Amayah Shaienne

SISTERHOOD ABOVE ALL

Book Summary

Being a Gamma at Southern State University means belonging to the most desirable, exclusive sisterhood there is. For Ava, it means even more—it’s the last connection she has to her beloved late mother, and she’ll do anything to wear the Gamma letters.

But the Gammas didn’t become the best house on campus by letting just anyone in, and every prospective pledge is expected to earn her spot. As president, Madison is the ultimate gatekeeper, and she has a special test for Ava.
Rival sorority Theta is nipping at the Gammas’ heels for the top spot on campus, and president Shay is proud they’ve gotten there by rising above the hyper-competitive gamesmanship that consumes other houses. She knows she’s made some enemies in her quest to change the Greek system from the inside, but she can’t imagine the depth of Madison’s resentment for her … or how far Ava will go to become a Gamma.

The sisterhood, the parties, the elite status—and the connection to her mother—are what Ava has always wanted, but she never guessed the cost of membership would be so high. Three women, two houses, one dead body: rush has never been this messy.
My Thoughts

Sisterhood Above All by Kathleen Barber with Amayah Shaienne drops you right into rush-week chaos with sparkle, secrets, and plenty of drama. This fun, fast-paced sorority mystery kept me turning the pages, thanks to its multiple points of view and short, snappy chapters. With two rival houses competing for the best pledge class, things get deliciously messy fast. I loved the steady stream of twists, surprises, and reveals that kept the momentum going. The peek behind the polished sorority image added just the right dose of intrigue, making the drama feel extra juicy and fun.  I would have loved the characters to have a bit more depth, but overall, this was an entertaining, twisty read that’s easy to fly through. If you’re craving something juicy, quick, and full of sorority secrets, grab this one and let the rush-week games begin!

Sisterhood Above All is available from Amazon.
