I stopped after Killer only because the girls were starting to annoy me through most of the book. But I absolutely love how Sara Shepard can do cliffhangers.
I'm not big into YA, but you certainly are tempting me to add the first book in this series to my wishlist, Stacy! :)

Yeah, I've got the first one of The Lying Game. Not sure when I'll get to that one. I've read reviews saying that the series was originally only eight books and that the last four only came about because of the popularity of the show. Are they just as good?
Mod
I don't mind the characters, but then again, I've only just started book eight. There are so many questions that I'm looking for the answers to and I'm hoping the more books I read, the more answers I'll get. :)
Mod
I wasn't very big into YA either until late last year. I'd say any series by Lisi Harrison or Sara Shepard are definitely worth reading Julie! Especially PLL! They're so suspenceful! I just can't seem to put it down for long even though I have other things to do, like homework, regular work, housework, sleeping, etc. LOL!

Yes, I think they are just as good! There's a new mystery and a new A, so that keeps things interesting.
I read that there's only going to be 4 books in the Lying Game series. Unless of course she ends up writing more, like with PLL?? I heard the show got renewed for another season. The show is SO different from the books though.

Yay! Seriously, it's really good. :)
Mod
Glad to know the added four are just as good. I'm a little over halfway through book 8 and I had an inkling of an idea as to how things have turned out so far, but when it was actually revealed, my jaw dropped!

How was that? I saw that at Target and added it to my TBR list. It sounds funny from the title. :)
Stacy the book is not that funny. I found it interesting in small doses...easy to put down and pick it up later...that probably explains why it took me over a month to read it. If you want to know all the ways to meet new friends then it is definately a worthwhile read.
