Review | Vicious

Vicious (Pretty Little Liars #16) by Sara Shepard
December 2014 by HarperCollins
352 pages
Five stars


"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. " - Goodreads




This will probably be a pretty basic and vague review since it's about the last book in a very long series, but just hang in there with me. I don't want to give away any spoilers for anyone that hasn't read the book. I feel like I can't not review this book though.

The last few books in the series have left me kind of worried with how the series was going to end, and if it was even really going to end. I'll admit, I loved it still. I didn't mind one bit that there was 16 or more books in the series because I was so invested in the storyline and the characters. In the first half of the series, the question was always is Ali still alive? Who is A? By last book or two, we knew the answer to those questions. We always expect everything to be wrapped up all nice and have all loose ends tied. I didn't have a clue how that was going to happen in the series.

Vicious was an amazing book. That's all I will say. I loved it. It was the perfect ending to the series and I feel so satisfied after finishing it. If you're someone who is okay reading 16 or more books, or someone who likes the tv series, read Pretty Little Liars. It's such a fun series to read and get lost in. Now that the last book has come out, you can rest assured that the series will indeed end and all or questions will be answered.

If you've finished the series, what did you think of it?
