Last Christmas: The Private Prequel

(4) YA Ariana is dating the perfect guy at her exclusive boarding school, but she gives into her secret desire for the resident bad-boy when they're trapped together during a snowstorm. Desperate to keep their affair secret, Ariana is driven to commit monstrous acts. This expository prequel, filled with designer labels and clichéd characters, saps some tension from the guilty-pleasure series.
