{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.

I have to admit that parts of the book were a bit intriguing to me. It was 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. Because of this the book becomes too unrealistic.

Most of the chapters were hard to understand. I didn't understand the storyline and the chapters were too long for me, this made me lose my focus. I don't recommend this book to people that like short stories, because this book is quite long winding.

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 villain all along.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm addicted to this books. Every time there's a new one, I think: Really another one? I mean every single character has been a suspect, but I just can't stop reading them.

So, I'll just wait for the next one and hope that Emily's family will make it right with her, because honestly they're horrible people.

This one was more entertaining than the last few. Perhaps because I skipped the less important parts. I think the series might end soon! Which is wonderful because I want them to kill Ali. She's pretty evil.

Those girls should've gone to the police a looong time ago!
I can't wrapped my head around the idea that the FBI couldn't get hold of a deranged teenage girl, is it possible for her to be that smart?!
Although I applaud that revelation of Team A, better than knowing that Alison had a secret twin all along, I'm annoyed because it's practically impossible for the reader to guess
Spoilerthat Nick is disguised as so many people, well at least it's impossible for me haha. I don't even know his existence in this series because I read Ali's Pretty Little Lies after Vicious.


-I just can't and refuse to believe a parent would actually believe their child is a murderer until proven, isn't it like mostly a parent instinct to believe the best of their child first?!

P/s: I want to stop reading this series because it clearly have been dragged so long, but there's only two books left....
