I feel so bad for Spencer. She always gets the short end of the stick and the worst stuff always happens to her. And she’s the only single one. Kind of. Anyway, I’m not really shocked by the ending of this one because it’s literally not humanly possible. It could not have happened. And I know that this is fiction, but it’s just not possible at all. 3 stars, kinda dragged

Did not have the same pull as the others. After the first reveal, I didn’t care that much

This was the most mid one, actually. I enjoyed everything that happened but the way a bunch of things were really dragged on was a no for me. This A remains confusing, I don't get them but I want to see what's the point on what's going on. Also I understand this is for plot purposes, pero ustedes son CUATRO ¿y a nadie se le ocurre que vayan DOS a buscar a la policía y que DOS se queden con el cuerpo para asegurarse de que nadie se lo lleve? Jesus....
By the way, con razón la serie perdió el rumbo tan fácil, si solo se llevaron de los 4 primeros libros and then they hoped for the best. PLEASE!!!! Right now I'm being introduced to new characters y estoy just hoping for the best about them, hopefully todos tengan un desarrollo que tenga sentido, no como en la serie.
Y esto nada que ver pero, the Hannah/Kate chapters were so boring, I'm glad they cut Kate off the series, she seems like the most basic bitch ever. Y el final con lo de Mike was also ???? Like yo entiendo que ustedes ambos estaban dejando ocurrir la narrativa del chase for your own selfish reasons but to let it go that easily y seguir como si nada? Couldn't be me (actually it could, pero objetivamente I just can't agree with it) Also, why Spencer's parents hate her so much? I NEED REAL ANSWERS ON THIS.
God, and we had SO MANY HINTS to get Ali was alive. Insane. IF SOMEONE MENTIONS "two blondes" ONCE AGAIN I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!!

At this point, the formula that all of the books follow is way too repetitive. If I didn't already own all of the books, this is the point where I would definitely give them up. There is going to be some sort of memory of when the girls were younger and Ali was still alive. The girls will flashback to this a million times throughout the book. New information will only be revealed half of the time. There will be at least one party. Aria's story is going to involve her getting involved with an older guy. In at least one of the girls' parts, a previously established character is going to start acting really weird so that suspense can be maintained during their sections even though nothing is really happening. The last chapters will be super exciting and have a major cliffhanger, so that readers will not mind how boring the rest of the book was.
While this is a problem to some extent in all of the books, this one relies on the girls being stupid to maintain the usual pattern of the books more than any of the rest so far. For A to continue blackmailing the girls, A has become involved in more and more mundane parts of their lives. At some points, A is speculated to be a criminal genius. The only way for this to be an excusable part of the plot is if the point is supposed to be that these girls are just getting paranoid.
These books really rely on the ending, and this one just did not do it for me. The ending was half as much of the book as it usually is, and it just wasn't long enough to generate as much suspense. The only part of this book that I enjoyed in comparison to the rest of the series is that Mike is getting a slightly bigger role, and Mike is one of the only members of the supporting cast that I still really like.

dark
tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
