Recommended for:
ages 13-16
Read from January 30 to February 20, 2011 — I own a copy, read count: once
Ok, let me start by saying that I'm 21 years old and I started reading this series because I love the show Pretty Little Liars.
Cover: The cover is cute with the black background and the accents of pink. However, the images of the girls are quite juvenile, which should have been a hint that the book was most likely made for a younger age group.
Characters: I felt that the characters were introduced oddly. Names were just thrown around without any indication of who they were. I have a hard time keeping straight who was who. Thayer, Emma , no Laurel... It was hard to follow. Also, the characters were very one dimensional. They were flat and often quite boring.
I really disliked the back and forth between Emma and Sutton. Why was Sutton still there? She brought nothing to the table.
Suspense: The book had its suspenseful parts (my favorite was when Emma got strangled), but not enough for me. I expected the book to have me on the edge of my seat like PLL, but that didn't happen much except for the ending. Classic who dun it with a twist.
Length: The book was a very easy read. I could have finished in two days, but boredom overtook me. The book would have be fine with the Epilogue.
Rating: I give this book 3.5 stars for an interesting premise and great cliff-hanger.
Will I read the next book in this series? Maybe. Definitely if I find it on sale. I'm dying to find out what happened to Sutton.
