Pretty Little Liars 16: Vicious

In Rosewood, Pennsylvania, reporters are lined up outside the historic courthouse, typing furiously at their iPhones with freshly manicured nails. Because the trial of the century is happening right here in Rosewood: the four pretty little liars have been accused of killing Alison DiLaurentis. Only Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily know that they’ve been framed. Ali is still out there, laughing as she watches the girls go down for her murder. But when your nickname includes the word “liar,” no one believes you’re telling the truth. . . . Aria tries to run away from it all but finds that life on the lam is even harder than life as a liar. Spencer gets in touch with someone who can help her disappear—but when a guy from her past reemerges, Spencer no longer knows what she wants. Hanna decides that she’ll hear wedding bells chime before she serves time. And in the face of prison, Emily does something truly drastic—something that will change her friends’ lives forever. As the trial goes on and the outcome looks grim, the girls are in their darkest hour yet. But maybe they can finally figure out how to beat Ali at her own game. Because once upon a time, she was just a pretty little liar too.

I CAN'T BELIEVE AFTER 16 BOOKS PRETTY LITTLE LIARS IS OVER

It feels so, so wrong to say goodbye to this series. PLL is an institution! But no matter, the story had well and truly ran it's course and it's nice to see it end positively. 

I felt like this book was kind of disappointing because I was expecting so much more from it. The whole book centres around the trial of Hanna, Aria, Spencer and Emily - who've been charged with the murder of Alison DiLaurentis

The extra events that occur made it more interesting, but even so I wish this book had followed more closely the style of the last few - the girls trying to find Ali and bring her to justice was much more interesting. 

Even though I would have preferred that, what I got was still interesting, good, and GREAT in parts. It just felt like it felt flat - like the whole story was just anti-climatic. It was like this book was the anti-climax from the last few even though it should have been THE climax. I loved the storylines - Aria's and Hanna's especially. I liked the ending and how things wrapped up for the girls, liked that Ali's still at it no matter what. I felt maybe things ended up a little too nicely, but then this is pretty little liars and that happens. 


As a politics and law student, I also couldn't help noticing the small things that just would never happen in a real court I don't know why these unrealistic things annoyed me when this series is so incredibly unrealistic in general, but they did. 

But overrall, I did enjoy this. I'm happy to let this series go, it truly was cming to it's end. While many people give this series a hella lot of shit, I enjoy it. They're quick, entertaining reads and I freakin care about Hanna and Mike (BLESS THEIR MARRIAGE BTW) and I just, I'm happy. I am at peace with this. 



So long, pretty little liars. It was a good time. (jks there will be like 12 seasons of the show im convinced I can still get my drama if I need it)

           Such an AMAzzing ending to this long series! It could have not have ended better! I loved all this twists and turns! Allie finally got what was coming to here and all the girls got a happy ending! 
Such a fast and quick read!

I would have given this 3.5 stars if I could. I thought it was a great ending to the series, but I thought some of the writing was a little sloppy. I really did love it. And I'm a little sad the series has come to the end, but I'm glad I still have the TV show to watch!
