In the meantime, Noel, Aria's boyfriend,has an exchange student, from Finland, comes to live with him. Instead of being the nerdy boy, Klaudius, that Noel expected, the exchange student turns out to be a gorgeous blonde, Klaudia, who tries to steal Noel from Aria. Aria ends up accidentally pushing Klaudia off of a ski lift as an act of self defense, however Klaudia uses that information against Aria. By that point,Aria and Noel's relationship is shaky and uncertain. Also, Emily meets a new girl, Chloe, who moves intothe Cavanaugh's old house. They immediately become good friends, bonding over Chloe's baby sister, Grace.

Patrick, somebody who's helping out at the set, offers Hanna a modeling job, but he takes some naughtypictures and threatens her with them, saying he will release them to the public and ruin her dads' chances of becoming senator, unless she gives him $10,000. Hanna steals money from her dad and frames Jeremiah, a mean man who is also working on set.

In the end of the book, the news turns on and a teenage girl's dead body was found floating in the water in Jamaica. They identify this girl as Tabitha Clark from New Jersey. The cops believe her death was a tragic accident - not a murder. The girls realize they killed an innocent girl.

It's been a year since the torturous notes from A stopped and the mystery of Alison DiLaurentis's disappearance was finally put to rest. Now seniors in high school, Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily are older, but they're not any wiser. The pretty little liars have more secrets than ever - twisted secrets that could destroy the perfect lives they've worked so hard to rebuild. Aria's jealous of her boyfriend's new exchange student. Spencer's getting a little too cozy with her soon-to-be-stepbrother. Hanna's one scandalous photo away from ruining her dad's Senate campaign. And Emily will do anything to get a swim scholarship. Worst of all: Last spring break in Jamaica, they did something unforgivable. The girls are desperate to forget that fateful night, but they should know better than anyone that all secrets wash ashore . . . eventually.

I'm not really sure why the author decided to write another book as I thought the last one was the perfect ending... I read it because this series is my guilty pleasure, but yeah... What?

Lauren Hendrix

wow....Sara shepard has done it again. this is like the sixth pll book I stayed up reading. when I first heard she was making another I though what else can she do? she wrapped up all the loose ends. or so I thought! somethings I guessed from the beginning while others caught me off guard. I don't know how Sara does it but this is one long series where every book is a page turner. it amazes me. I recommend this series to anyone (except kids like 7th grade girls...might freak them out). wow I'm tired....its 1:15 am....and BTW this is the second time I'm writing a review for this book. the first time I accidentally pressed cancel. I'm writing this on my phone so yea. I think I'm done. read this book....night

*3.5 stars. 

I have to be completely honest with you. After I finished 'Wanted' I thought Shepard did a fantastic job with the ending. It was near perfect and there was no need to continue the series on with one book....let alone four books. When I heard that she was writing another book - without a doubt I was going to read it, but I was also thinking that she was just doing it because of the success of the ABC show......and to earn more money. 

I went into this thinking it was going to be rubbish and repetitive and it was just going to spoil the previous books. Boy was I wrong! I couldn't be more pleased to be proven wrong and now I am desperate to read the next one, which I've already purchased. What can I say? These books are my guilty pleasure. 

Regarding the girls, I found Spencer's, Aria's and Emily's new stories fun and intriguing! Hanna's....not so much. Hopefully, Hanna's story gets better in 'Ruthless'. 

PS - If I was Aria, I would of pushed Klaudia off the ski-life too. 
PPS - I've heard a certain 'English teacher' is making a comeback in 'Ruthless'....and it's about time!! 
PPPS - Who the bloody hell is the new 'A'???????

Zoe Smolen

With this new plot line, I'm curious to see where it goes. I'm glad Shepard found a way to continue the series though. I love it way to much to let it go.

Kourtney

I have to admit, I was a bit wary reading the last arc of the series. I thought it ended nicely, and enjoyed the 2 companion books that went with them, and then - HERE WE GO AGAIN! I put it off until more of the books in the series came out, and now I am glad I did because once again I am sucked in with the drama! I can't wait to pick up the next book and see what happens next!
