Finally! 14 out of 16 finished. Only 2 to go. I'm getting closer and closer to the end, and I can't wait to finish this series.

I have to admit that parts of the book were intriguing to me. It was just nice that there were finally some consequences for the girls and their actions. But I can't fully enjoy the book because there are just too many coincidences and the girls are too lucky sometimes. It becomes too unrealistic.

I also hate that thing that often happens in movies, series, books, etc. where the heroes have found the villain and then the villain reveals everything. Especially when it's obvious what happened. We get it. He was the (co-)villain all along.

"If you don't like the books, why do you keep reading them?" Mind your own business! I can't help but finish the series. I want to know how it ends, even if I'm disappointed.

This one is actually... Good?!?! 14 books in and the stakes feel high and its actually tense. The liars are in a tight spot that is impossible to get out of and not caused by their own stupidity. If only this series was 4-6 books instead of 16 it could of been hit after hit. The helper A reveal was a smidge naff but much better than I thought it was going to be, I'm interested to see where the last two books take us considering we know who A is

It’s so annoying to see people still not believe them.  Yep, they were ruining their lives just for attention.  I mean come on Alison isn’t that smart it’s impressive how a person who barely finished middle school is out smarting all these people.  Also, Emily’s family absolutely suck, she deserves better.
