Did someone say Ezra Fitz? EZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRAEZRA...oooooooooo. </hormone-induced-teenage-girl-outburst>
Ruthless. Seriously? That's the title? You have got to be kidding me. That just reminds me of prehistoric female nurses with mustaches and high pitched voices. Exactly what I want to be visualizing while reading this book....can't wait!

"Everyone’s favorite pretty little liars are back with a fresh story arc filled with dark new secrets and deadly plot twists. "
Fresh story arc? *snort* This ought to be good /sarcasm

I have been reading this series for years now. And the first book I found amazing. Heck, the whole original series I found pretty darn amazing, full with twists and turns, though the whole Courtney thing seemed a bit out there and I still find it confusing.
But the two books following that...
I liked this book and I will continue to read the series. But part of me just wants it to end, and that's not the best sign. But it's also addicting because I feel like I can't just st More...

Emily, Aria, Hanna, and Spencer are still being haunted by A and they have no idea who it is! They are becoming frightened and paranoid by A who knows what they did at Spring Break. These four girls are no longer the innocent girls they once were in the first book of the series. Now they have all committed things that if it gets out they may be in serious trouble.
One message of this book is that everybody has a secret that they don't want to be revealed. Each of the characters in t More...

I chose this book to do my Goodreads because I have read al the books in this series and what to know who A would end up to be. "Kelsey is A!", Spencer was sure of it but it turned out she was wrong, even though Spencer had planted the drugs on Kelsey and ruined Kelsey's future, Kelsey was never A. A is a new stalker, Emily knows is exactly who it is but she won't have the guts to admit to her friends that Ali is alive because she left the door open for her to be able to get out. My fa

The title of Sara Shepard's 10th Pretty Little Liars book is Ruthless--and wow, are they ever!! Aria, Emily, Hanna, Spencer, A and a few other people have their claws out for this one!
As I noted in my review for Twisted, the Pretty Little Liars series is getting darker. The girls have moved from innocent mistakes and embarrassing scenarios to murder and false incrimination. And they still haven't learned to keep their mouths shut (Hanna, I'm looking at you) or who to trust (Emily, Aria More...

So it took me ONE and a half days to read this 350 page book and almost a MONTH to finish a book I was reading before it. That's how interesting this book is. Plus it doesn't hurt that I'm Jamaican and I live in Jamaica and the pretty little liars's murder took place there ;D
You'd think after ten books the whole A is trying to get you thing is stale? Nope. The twists and turns almost give you a headache because you so desperately want to make the connection and figure out who the new A More...

THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS!
This book was like any other Pretty Little Liars book. A has returned, the story continued, more drama, blah blah blah, etc. etc. Honestly, I feel the author is stretching out the story way too much. Here are just a few things that stood out to me while I was reading:
Aria's Story:

Overall, this was another extraordinarily suspenseful and enjoyable PLL novel, with a prickly and unpredictable new foil (Kelsey) and yet another slip into insanity for Spencer.
Emily, as always, is tormented relentlessly throughout the story - the other girls are intermittently granted brief bits of happiness with their boyfriends, but Em's trouble with the laydays seems to know no end.

Sara Shepard really knows how to make a simple idea work, and turn it in to something sensational. I have never read another series that has so many twists and turns!. I have went over them all, several times, and the character's personalities are so different it's like reading 4 different books all in one!.
And I absolutely love it!. There have been endless times where I stop the book abruptly to say to myself, "Wow I did not see that one coming!!" Of course you didn't see it More...

This book was pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I mean usually it takes me about 3-4 days to read a book of this size, and I read it in less then 24 hours. So it's definetly a page turner. Not hard to understand whatsoever. I like this series mostly because they're just so darn addicting!! Just like with any other addiction, I know I shouldn't like them so much because they are pretty immature and some of the situations that she puts these girls in make me say "really.....?" But ov

I started reading this series in solidarity with the tv show, which I actually enjoy.
I feel that the characters in this book are as shallow and superficial as they were at the age 12~13 in flashbacks and 16~17 in previous books. They have no substance and not an original thought in their minds. You'd think they'd grow up a little after all they've been through!

Diese Bücher lesen sich einfach weg wie nichts. Ich habe sehnsüchtig auf die Fortsetzung gewartet und jetzt ist es schon alles vorbei ... leider. Aber nicht für lange. Die anderen Bücher stehen ja bereits in den Startlöchern und ich kann es kaum erwarten, auch die restlichen Bände der Pretty Little Liars Reihe in die Finger zu bekommen.

I was able to get the first 3 chapters of Pretty Little Liars #10: Ruthless from Alloy Entertainment website.
The book started by what happened to the four girls after Twisted. Aria was hesitant to go on vacation in Iceland with Noel, Mike and Hanna. Later on, Aria saw Noel assisting Klaudia. She haven't speak with him for weeks after Klaudia's fall. Aria was so surprised that Noel approached her only to find out that he wanted to break things off between them.

i loved this book. i cant belive that Emily was stupid enough to keep listening and hanging out with Kelsey after Spencer said that she was A. I also cant belive that spencer and Hanna helped frame Kelsey for selling drugs. why would hanna keep dating the huy that was running against her dad for senate after she found out that he was the enemy's son? i still cant belive that Ezra cheated on Aria by kissing Klaudia, who cheated on Noel. The ending was amazing. Kelsey tries to kill Emily, but then

I adore the whole Pretty Little Liars franchise; I enjoy the books and love the TV series, so when Ruthless came out I had to get my copy straight away! As always, the four girls are constantly running into problems left, right and centre and A is never far away.
Ruthless is very much Spencer’s story and we get to see a very different side to her, one that we haven’t seen before. Normally she has been the smart, consciences gir More...

Of course you're going to see the fangirls out there who will rate this book five stars just because its a PLL book. I will be honest, i loved all 9 books. They were full of suspense and lots of juicy secrets. This time, not so much. It read more like a story. There's no "wow" moment and no great cliff hanger. I think Sara was going to stop PLL series after the whole "Ali was really Courtney" thing but PLL got popular and Sara was paid more. Maybe she ran out of ideas. Her co

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a fun and interesting read, despite the fact that I thought this series was supposed to end after the 8th book. It never ceases to amaze me how dumb the characters can be at times... like really Spencer!? sighhh, those girls make me cringe when they do something that no one else in their right minds would do when put into their position. Though I must admit that because of their stupidity and lack of better judgement, the suspense and drama of this

Not my favorite of the Pretty Little Liar series. I feel like nothing was quite accomplished in this book. Each character did have their own piece to add to the puzzle but at the end I feel like nothing was solved. This book is based on Spencer past and how it caught up to her. Spencer has become a different person then whom we believe she is in previous books and as she is shown on the TV series. I hope the next book which is due out early in January does not follow in this books path

Again, these are too addicting for their own good. I do feel, however that if these are continued for too long, they'll be at the point where they're just stupid and being dragged on too long. I feel like it is getting to that point kind of. Why couldn't have just killed the Real Ali at the end of the eighth book, like actually killed her, and just had the whole 'A' thing be done? These girls have been through enough for two lifetimes of therapy to over it...how much more could you possibly put
