Okay so, I know the dates make it seem like it took me forever to get through this book, when in reality I put it down weeks ago as I have been back at University. Well today I decided I needed to finish this book as I need to know the answers! I read pretty much from the beginning and it only took me a couple hours to get through it all!

This was by far the best or one of the best books in the series. I couldn’t put it down, I knew I was finishing it in one sitting.

This book was so different than the others. So much was going on, it was so chaotic.

I think we all knew who A was all along.. it’s pretty obvious and Sara Shepard isn’t trying to hide it. While reading the reviews I thought we’d only find out who Helper A was but nope.. we found out about both!

The reveal didn’t take pages and pages to explain why Helper A did all of this, it just gave closure to clues we already knew; everything fit into place.

Who Helper A was though, was very surprising... I really liked the reveal.

I think this could have been a great ending to the series, they should have captured both Helper A and A. Especially since we know who A is now....

I am sad to see the end of the series but seriously, two more books? We know who A is so why do we have to spend 2 more books just hunting them down?

Nevertheless I will continue reading to the end. If you’re currently on like book 11/12 and it’s getting a bit dull (like it was for me) I would highly recommend just hanging in there and reading this book. It is worth it in my opinion and after all, you’ve gotten this far.

DNF - gotten way too ridiculous to continue.

How do I even begin with this book...or with the series and how it should have ended a long time ago.

*Spoliers*

1) How do these girls not know by now to have lawyers *before* involving the police?

2) Lie detector test. Enough said.

3) Everything seems to fall into place for the PLL by the end of the book.

4) I'd have rather seen the girls shipped off. Bet it would make the next book better.

5) Obviously, the answers should be apparent to the PLL. Ali is smarter than they are.

6) How long until the name Noel used to contact Ali is thought about by one of the PLLs?

7) I can't believe I read another one of these, and that I'll keep reading this series because I'm invested and I want to know how it ends.

{my thoughts} – this book picked up some where’s in the midst of where the last few have left off. I am starting to dislike Miss Shepard’s writing style more and more. She likes to go back and re-write past events in a different perspective and I am not sure that is always needed.

The girls search through this book for helper A and A they are determined to prove that she is still alive and the one taunting them. However, it all goes terribly wrong and the girls are convicted for all Helper A’s and A’s crimes.

The book ended on a better note. It helps to tie a lot of the characters from previous books together. It also gives some closure as to what has actually been taking place over the past few years in the books.

If you are a fan of this series I suggest you read the book as it helps to answer many questions. It also brings up many more. I hadn’t expected the ending, but it was well worth the time I spent reading the book.

very suspensful but I am very ready for this series to end and to close a chapter in my life.
