But banished Meri has a plan to bring down Alpha Beta Kappa. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information. Jennifer Rummel - VOYAThis sequel to Hazing Meri Sugarman (Simon Pulse/S & S, 2005/VOYA April 2006) picks up right after the drama of Cindy's triumph in the first book. In Meri's absence, Cindy attempts to have a normal life rebuilding the sorority and enjoying college. The college has cracked down on several rules, however, leaving Cindy's popularity in jeopardy. Her happy life fades away when Keith dumps her. Things get worse when Meri returns, hell-bent on revenge and sugarcoated with forgiveness. Her new attitude convinces everyone of her shame and her desire for atonement-everyone except Cindy. When unexplained events start happening to Cindy and her friends, Cindy blames Meri, but no one else believes her. Meri very cleverly stays hidden in the background while Patty becomes hooked on "skinny," the sorority heads in a downward spiral, Lindsay breaks up with her boyfriend, and people start to question Cindy's sanity. With all the drama in her college life, can Cindy survive this latest attack?
