I liked this one, it was interesting to get inside the mind of "Alison" leading up to her death. I do wish that the pace was a bit faster though or something I felt like there were some bits that dragged. Maybe it was just that they were trying to cram so much into the one book.
I am still left with a few unanswered questions though, so ideally I would like one more novel all about when "Courtney" escaped the Preserve and tortured the girls. Just because I want to know more about her mindset. But alas, after 18 books we are officially finished with the PLL series. It's been a journey but I'm proud of myself for making it to the end.

One negative thing to me about this book was that it felt like, the author wrote it so she could add some new characters and details to the story, that were not mentioned in the previous 8 books, so she could continue the series and write 8 more books. It did not bother me too much, but it seemed odd to meet some new characters that have never been mentioned before or hinted to even though this book is a prologue.Â
Overall, I still highly enjoyed the book and it was a great companion novel.
