Synopsis:

In the exclusive town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania, where the sweetest smiles hide the darkest secrets, four pretty little liars--Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna--have been very bad girls...

Spencer stole her sister's boyfriend. Aria is brokenhearted over her English teacher. Emily likes her new friend Maya . . . as much more than a friend. And Hanna's obsession with looking flawless is literally making her sick. But the most horrible secret of all is something so scandalous it could destroy their perfect little lives.

And someone named "A" is threatening to do just that.

At first they thought A was Alison, their friend who vanished three years ago...but then Alison turned up dead. So could A be Melissa, Spencer's ultracompetitive sister? Or Maya, who wants Emily all to herself? What about Toby, the mysterious guy who left town right after Alison went missing?

One thing's for certain: A's got the dirt to bury them all alive, and with every crumpled note, wicked IM, and vindictive text message A sends, the girls get a little closer to losing it all.

My rating: ★★★★☆
Years after their best friend Alison disappeared mysteriously, Emily, Aria, Spencer, and Hannah start receiving threatening messages by someone who goes by -A. But it couldn’t possibly be Ali herself. She’s dead!

The messages keep on coming, bringing the girls together and wondering who they could be from.

After analyzing the Jena Thing one was and another, the girls figure that the most obvious person who would want to blackmail them is Toby, Jenna’s stepbrother. So why couldn’t Toby be -A?

[Well 1st off, because I watch the show (and I feel the need to mention that its nothing like the books) I know that Toby is not -A. why? Well, IDK, he just seems genuinely nice. Plus, he dies at the end of Flawless O.O I did NOT see that coming!! And so, after Toby dies, -A is still texting the girls…so now they know it wasn’t him.

And thanks to watching the show, I have a strong suspicion that –A is Jenna…or has something to do with it. But IDK for sure; it’s just a hunch.]

I absolutely love this series! It’s a great break from all the paranormal and urban fantasy books I always read. I have always loved a good mystery, and this -A mystery is a good one!
