Alright,
I started this book a few weeks ago and I have to say that although the seventh book wasn't that good I really like how this book is slowly turning into a pretty good one.
At first, the first thing that caught my eye and reminded me to still continue to read this book was the fact that Courtney showed up - and she never did in the series. Also that A is now gone, the girls have time to live their lives and have a great time, so everything can settle down a bit.
But when Courtney drops the bomb that she is Ali, the girls can't believe their eyes, since they all thought for seven books straight, that Ali is dead and buried. Courtney explains some details about that one night back then four years ago and the girls understand that she is indeed Ali. For some reason, they all back at it again, becoming friends and spending time together.
The only thing I'm not quite comfortable with is, that even though Ali's been gone for so long and has done so many bad things with them, they are still doing it again, also with their fresh start. The nod it game is back and I can only imagine that more things they used to did four years ago are coming back - which may be the cause for a new A turning up soon.
I don't know how to describe my feelings about this book here, but it's better than every other book of this series I have read so far - and still, with Ali being back, I think that things will turn bad slowly and get worse soon, but we will see

This was the most absurd and nonsensical of them so far.

Todos esos libros valieron la pena. Llegó el final la saga y fue increíble.
Al final de [b:Heartless|3047848|Heartless (Pretty Little Liars, #7)|Sara Shepard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1265496817l/3047848._SY75_.jpg|3078639] se descubrió que un constructor que trabajaba en la casa DiLaurentis y de nombre Billy Ford era el asesino de Alison. La evidencia incriminatoria era más que suficiente, el caso se cerró finalmente y Rosewood pudo dormir en paz otra vez. ¿Pero cuánto tiempo pasará hasta que se sepa lo que en realidad pasó y el verdadero asesino se revele sin más máscaras?
Las revelaciones en este libro son muchas y cada una es mejor y más intrigante que la anterior. Obviamente tenía mis ideas de lo que se venía porque vi la serie de televisión de principio a fin, pero ese final no está ni cerca de estar tan bien contado como lo está aquí. El misterio alcanza su máxima expresión y la verdad es aún más oscura de lo que me hubiera imaginado. Llega un momento en la mitad del libro en que ya no lo podía dejar, necesitaba saber toda la verdad o me iba a comer por dentro...
Es el final perfecto, con todas las respuestas necesarias y un secreto tan jugoso que no dan más que ganas de aplaudirle a [a:Sara Shepard|93970|Sara Shepard|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1229580414p2/93970.jpg] por pensar en algo tan descabellado. No sé si hay más palabras que añadir.
Las cinco estrellas van más que merecidas, y lo mejor es que hace valer el tiempo invertido en leer 8 libros, cosa no menor. Lo vale totalmente y queda recomendado para todos los que quedaron decepcionados con el finale de la serie de televisión (que fue un asco, hay que decirlo).
