zapkode's review against another edition
2.0
{my thoughts} - This series is getting more and more twisted and badly addicting. I don’t mean that in a really good way either. I really like I am just reading these so I can find out once and for all what happens. I’m almost to the point of where I don’t think I care too much for the end. I think it’s more I want it to be over. Anyways, like all the other books the girls are are keeping secrets and telling lies and getting into more and more of a hole then they had been in before. It seems like they don’t even have to try, somehow they manage to hurt those that are close to them and push people away that they shouldn’t. They have a massive trust issue – which leaves them to only really trust one another. I honestly think it would be hilarious if it turns out that “A” is actually one of the “4″ girls. Why because it wouldn’t be obvious – considering that they get messages at the same time – sometimes separate. But how else would “A” always know what is going on. It makes sense to me. They are pros at lying and keeping secrets so why wouldn’t they play such a cruel game with those that are suppose to be their friends. I don’t know really.
In this book Hannah gets into a crash, Emily considers running away with a new friend she meets on a school cruise trip, Spencer almost loses the one boy that seems to care about her and Aria almost dies. Sounds like ever other book, always trouble, always lies, secrets and mischief. The fact that I am so addicted to finding out what is going to be the end is the only thing making me continue to read these books. I honestly have lost any real interest in them, which probably isn’t a good thing. I also don’t think that this series should have been written as so many books either. I’m going to complete the series because I must finish what I start, but really it should have been completed around book “5″ or “6″ this is just too many. Should could have written spin offs or something to keep engaging readers, but keeping the same series running for so long – probably not for the best.
{reason for reading} - I read this book because I have read the previous 11 and I am in love with the television series.

So... I thought we were supposed to find out who A is in this one, because it's the 4th one in this A cycle?! Now I'm just mad because I have to read MORE to find out who A is, and I just want to be done with this series. I already told myself I wasn't going to read another A cycle after this one, but I'd already gone into this one enough I wanted to know who this A was. This is seriously getting ridiculous.

Even though every time Aria, Spencer, Emily, or Hanna suspects who A is and I know it's obviously not them I can't help but try to believe so.
I loved how everything blended together and I love NOEL AND ARIA but I really want to know what the heck happened in Iceland!

The cover:
Just like the previous books in the series, this cover features a liar (in this case that’s Aria) along with the title of the book in a unique font. I’m just starting to wonder if all the books which have Aria on the cover have something in common…
The storyline:
I started this book back in March, and stopped at 40% because of my dear finals, so I read 60% this afternoon, and I loved it! I’m so glad I left it for now, this book has a summer and vacation feeling to it.
The summary:
The girls are finally on vacation and going on a cruise. They’re trying to get passed what they did back in Jamaica and all the A-drama, but good luck with that with A right on board.
Aria is enjoying the vacation with Noel, becomes a friend with someone who she may need to stay away from.
Emily is still burdened by the secret she hasn’t told her friends about yet and her family is not talking to her and they don’t even look her in the eye. A new and unwelcomed guest on the cruise takes her thoughts and heart. She’s so happy and can’t believe she’s lucky to be happy after all what they’ve done. But maybe she’s right, it’s too good to be true.
After getting over all this boy drama we’ve been through in the previous book, Hanna is finally relaxing with Mike and hoping to get her tanning right this time. She also makes a new awkward friend, whom she thinks can’t be trusted, probably because they know about an accident she was involved in sometime ago.
Will A be able to get them after all?! That’s what we all want to know!
What I loved:
- Okay, so this book is full of suspense and thriller. I’ve been holding my breath every time I sense something is going wrong. I just couldn’t help but suspect everyone on the cruise. Everyone was acting weird and off balance.
- The story is well built and way better than the previous book. It’s so intense and you expect A to jump at the liars every 5sec!
- The writing as usual is just smooth and really good.
- For some reason, the liars have matured a lot and they’re better at dealing with stuff, especially Aria, I liked her a lot in this book.
- Oh God the last few chapters! They were so tense. I had all types of emotions trying to finish them. They were great.
What I disliked:
- Mainly one thing: why does the author keep making the liars so stupid? It’s way obvious from the beginning that A is setting them up just like the previous book. It was so tiring reading many chapters just wishing they could have avoided all this trouble just if “they’d learned anything” from what happened before.
The characters:
I can’t talk about most of the characters because I’ll spoil the story.
Aria is my favorite in this book. She’s so mature, calm, friendly and just the best in the group.
Emily is the emotional one, she’s always comforting and taking care of others ignoring her own problems.
Spencer is over thinking stuff which only helps A in his/her plan. But she’s way better than before, she’s mostly scared A will sabotage her new relationship to get to her.
Hanna is enjoying the cruise and throughout the story she stays out of trouble and tries to enjoy a vacation without A coming across her mind every second.
Favorite quotes:
Ever told a lie to save yourself? Maybe you blamed the dent in your parents’ Mercedes on your brother so you could still go to the spring formal. Maybe you told your Algebra teacher you weren’t part o… --- Hit and Run.
Clownfish are pretty,
Starfish are pale.
Will Aria’s boyfriend
Visit her in jail?
—A --- Chapter 19: Dead Man’s Float.
Emily: I’m okay. Not going to where we planned, but somewhere even better. We’ll find each other someday—that’s a promise. --- Chapter 33: Emily Gets Her Wishes.
Conclusion:
This is, yet again, one of my favorite reads this year. I’m so excited to be coming closer to the end of this series and yet I’m so sad it’s going to end (in next December! *_*).
