Las cuatro mejores amigas son rescatadas del incendio que arrasó con el bosque detrás de la casa Hastings y son llevadas de urgencia al hospital, pero no sin que antes Emily revele a viva voz que Alison DiLaurentis está viva, que todas la vieron entre las llamas y que hay que rescatarla.
Abandoné esta saga en 2015, muy decepcionado tras la lectura de [b:Killer|3047849|Killer (Pretty Little Liars, #6)|Sara Shepard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1246065139l/3047849._SY75_.jpg|3078640] y decidido a probablemente no volver a retomar nunca más. Pero por cosas de la vida volví al ruedo y puedo decir que me encantó y que por algo me lo leí en 5 días. En este libro se huele en todo momento que se acerca el final (ya que originalmente el octavo libro iba a ser la conclusión de la saga) y eso permite sentir que la lectura vale la pena, que las respuestas están a la vuelta de la esquina, finalmente.
De mayor a menor mi gusto por cada arco es: Spencer, Hanna, Emily, Aria.
Spencer descubre un gran secreto que destruye su familia. Hanna va a parar al Centro Addison-Stevens donde conoce a Iris, una chica que sabe mucho más de lo que dice. Emily viaja a una comunidad amish y se convence de que Darren Wilden es el asesino de Ali. Aria explora en el ocultismo y se acerca a Noel Kahn, para juntos dar con una médium que les dice que "Ali mató a Ali".
El final es muy inesperado, tal vez demasiado, ¿es creíble siquiera? Habrá que seguir leyendo para descubrirlo.

Oh good grief. I cannot believe this wasn't the last book. I must have lost track. Surely there is no way that "Twisted" will wrap this all together with a pretty little bow and set everything straight.
You won't get too much validation from Heartless; however, this book stands out from the rest because the girls actually take ACTION, which is more than they do in the other books. They don't let people hold them back as much, and circumstances don't trap the girls in situations that render them completely useless in solving ANYthing, which seemed like a trick that the author used in the other novels to feed the plot.
Also, can she please do away with the, "Oh and 4 years later I remembered this VERY SPECIFIC THING that happened the day Ali died" thing? I'm sorry, but nobody remembers specific dialogue randomly after 4 years especially after years of being questioned by the cops. They weren't that traumatized, and no one--even young adults, or teens, or kids, buy it. This completely surpasses the suspension of disbelief. It's just logic. And she does this in almost every single book.
I'm very conflicted about my feelings toward the extension of this series from a, what, 3-4 book series? To a 6 book series to an EIGHT book series? It seems evident that even the author is no longer concerned with clarifying the ambiguity of A and what forms A has taken. What's evident is that the author is unsure of how to clear up what's happened in past books and unclear about how to untie the giant mess of a knot that's been created.
ALL that said: I can't get enough of these characters. Despite the massive inconsistencies (for example, the fact that over the course of a few weeks/months, these girls have gone from T-Mobile Sidekicks to Blackberry phones to iPhones ... I get that it's been years since the first few books came out, but do away with the technological trend references if they don't make any chronological sense!), I really love these girls. I really do. And I love that they are such realistic teens. Yet seemingly even less caddy than people I went to school with, than most people went to school with, which I love. They are great. I would 100% be friends with them. It's just too bad that getting down to the bottom of the A mystery has been clouded by so many out-of-left-field accused murderers that I honestly, at this point, have no idea nor can invest in any ideas I would have if anything led me to something concrete ANYway.
But. I will keep reading. Regardless of everything above, I'm interested, and I will spend a couple hours finishing the 8th book because ... well, just because.

i know i say this every time i read one of these, but...
WAAAGH!!

This book was great about keeping you guessing and making you have doubts about things you had thought of as fact previously. One of the better ones in the series.
