Synopsis:

Behind Rosewood's grand facades, where the air smells like apples and Chanel No. 5 and infinity pools sparkle in landscaped backyards, nothing is as it seems. It was here, back in seventh grade, that five best friends shared everything--Seven jeans, MAC makeup, and their deepest, darkest secrets. For Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily, it was a dream come true...until Alison, the most beautiful of them all, suddenly vanished.

Now someone named A has turned their charmed lives into a living nightmare. Emily has been shipped off to her hyper-conservative cousins in Iowa. Aria is stuck living with her dad and his home-wrecker girlfriend. And Spencer fears she had something to do with Alison's murder. But Hanna's fate is far worse than all of that--she's clinging to life in the hospital, because "she knew too much."


With A's threats turning dangerous and Ali's killer still on the loose, the girls must uncover the truth--about A, about Ali, and about what happened to Hanna--before they become A's next victims. But as they unravel Rosewood's mysteries and secrets, will it bring an end to the horror...or is this just the beginning?

My rating: ★★★★☆

I have been waiting to find out who A is for the longest time ever. And if I hadn't watched the show before reading this book, finding out who A is would've been (pun intended) Unbelievable. But since I do watch the show...well, it wasn't that big of a surprise.

Hannah is in the hospital thanks to A who ran her over. Now she's struggling to remember, because she knew, who A was.

Spencer is freaking out because a memory of the night Ali disappeared she had suppressed has now resurfaced, making Spencer think the she was somehow responsible for Ali's death.

Emily is being sent away to the middle of nowhere to live with family just for dating Maya.

And Aria...well, let's just say things between her and Ezra haven't gotten any easier.

For a girl who almost never reads anything non-paranormal, I have to say, I am LOVING this series (both the books and the show)! It just has a lot of mystery, and the end was just so action-y and awesome!

Well, now we know who A is, but it seems like the girls are not out of the woods yet...who will A be this time??


Have you read this book? If so, what did you think about it? If not, what do you think? Does it sound like something you might want to read? Leave me a comment! :)
