This is really the point where the series has to keep coming up with random drama to continue the series. Hanna's in a mental hospital. Emma is hanging out with the Amish. There is very little explanation as to how that storyline is supposed to actually work. The plot seems to be based mostly on the reading of a Wikipedia page. Aria's chapters introduce even more supernatural elements, which just don't fit in well with the rest of the series. Also, it just doesn't feel like she's doing anything. Even though, yet again, everything that happened in the previous book is completely erased in Spencer's plot, her chapters are the best in this book. They are actually kind of juicy, instead of random.
The conclusion of this book is a disappointment again. Just like the last book, the climax comes much later in the book, and it just isn't as interesting as in the earlier books. Most of it does not involve the girls, so we do not get to see it. The big reveal was foreshadowed enough times that it wasn't a big surprise.
There is one big improvement in this entry in the series. The girls are finally actively investigating. Each of the girls are following their own leads. I think at least two of the girls' investigations won't have a major impact on the story in the end and were mostly just a waste of time, but it was a big improvement from them just being scared and A completely leading the way.
