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

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

Spoiler

that 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....

Wow! These books keep getting better and better!

First of all I love Hanna and mikes realationship! They are so cute and I really hope Noel and Aria work things out.

A is nastier than ever but I'm so glad we found out who her helper is! If she really loved him she wouldn't have ratted.

I don't know why A is still keeping up with it but oh well. Just go with it.

I found this book along with the recents very enjoyable. I can't believe this series is coming to an end. -June 2015

So glad the series is finally officially over (hopefully it won't be regenerated with more PLL books). I did enjoy reading about what else Ali/A/the A Team had in store for Emily, Hanna, Aria and Spencer and wondering if Ali would ever be caught and if the truth would ever come out. However, I think books 13-16 dragged it out too long (even if book 16 had all the happy endings for some of the characters).
