Summer Reading: Pretty Little Liars "Twisted"

I'm a huge fan of Pretty Little Liars. I love the show and the books are amazing. I first started reading the books back in high school. I'm so glad I was able to read the ninth book that was released back in 2011. First, many fans were disappointed with the book release of Twisted because many thought that the eight book, Wanted, was a great way to end the "Pretty Little Liars" series. I couldn't agree with them anymore. I've read books 1-8 and thought the series ended good, but part of me wanted the story to continue. I was thrilled when Sara Shepard finally released the ninth book. After reading the book, it was everything I like about the "Pretty Little Liars" series and more. The story was defiantly twisted, as the title suggested. If you've never read a Pretty Little Liar book, you're in luck because this book will not be confusing for new readers. Sara explains events that happened in previous books to help refresh the memory of those who forgotten and those who never read a Pretty Little Liar book. The book starts off with the four girls in Jamaica on a spring break trip. This vacation was a great way for them to put the past behind them. However, the girls did something unforgettable in Jamaica. This trip eventually creates more secrets that will cause another A to haunt them one year later.
Emily-    Emily is a down to earth type of girl. She is the one character that I have the most sympathy for in this book. She hides a big secret from her parents. Although she could easily be voted most athletic in a school's year book, she quits swimming for a while without an explanation. After leaving Jamaica, the girls do not speak to each other leaving Emily alone and friendless. She finally meets a friend, Chloe, but Chloe's dad ruins their friendship.

Aria- Aria storyline is my least favorite for some reason, but this time around she had a page turner story. First, her boyfriend parents allow a foreign exchange student Klaudia from Finland to live with them. All was well between the two for a moment, but soon Aria's jealousy took over.

 Spencer- My favorite of the bunch, did not deal with the usually family drama . Tensions between her sister, Melissa, are ceased. Although her parents are no longer together, her mom finds someone new. Now, Spencer has to deal with her mom's new boyfriend children.

 Hanna- Hanna's father is now running for Senator of Pennsylvania. Hanna is not thrill because she does not have the best relationship with her dad and he favors her stepsister Kate. This time around, Hanna is the golden girl to her dad. However, Hanna did something that could ruin her dad's campaign.

 The book ended with a cliffhanger. As a reader, you will wonder what will happen next. I recommend you read this book, even if you haven't read the previous books.  Reading this book is similar to looking at a gossip website, although you try to stop reading you continue and soon become hooked. I can't wait until I get my hands on book ten.
