Deciding to ditch the Washington, D.C. trip for the second year in a row, the Beverly Hills High School A-List crew finds out a lot more about love, life and gambling than they expect. This time around they add to the fold Anna Percy, the newly acquired New York born-and-bred WASP who has become a best friend to Samantha Sharpe. With Las Vegas ready and waiting, this elite group of friends ends up doing and seeing things that wouldn't dare cross their minds in Beverly Hills.

Their own little private "senior" trip turns out to be more raucous, funny and astoundingly truth-packed than they ever imagined. From Parker Pinelli winning a much-needed $20,000 that he ends up having to forfeit because he's underage, to the girls' stint in a Vegas showgirl contest, this is a never-ending whirlwind. Joined by Anna's New York friends, Cyn and her boyfriend Scott, things get a little sticky when they all become participants in a Las Vegas revue featuring a famous hypnotist. Everyone has gone bananas --- that is, except Samantha, who has to witness the entire, horrific event.

Things go from bad to worse as they all settle down to watch the DVD, and shocking truths about who they really are begin to surface. Can their friendships outlast the reality of how they all feel?

Zoey Dean does it again in the fifth installment of this New York Times bestselling series. From beginning to end, readers will be swept away into the world of the A-List, realizing that although these characters are filthy rich with loads of money to expend, they are also human --- breathing, living, and having the same issues as "regular" folks. BACK IN BLACK is a great addition to this hilariously funny series.
