ALA Booklist

The storm of bad consciences, rotten friendships, and devotion to designer purses and bad-boy bands continues in this latest Pretty Little Liars book, and questions abound. Is Emily's new flame, Kelsey, actually the mysterious stalker, A? Is Hanna's new beau out to crush her father's political aspirations? Can Aria be so stupid as to really believe her old boyfriend likes the Finnish exchange witch? Does Spencer feel guilty about anything she does? And how is it possible for the local mental hospital to continue to have such horrendous security? Fans of the bad-girls-running-amok series will be dying to find out.

Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily are back and hiding a secret from a spring break trip. Of course, an all-knowing (different?) "A" threatens to expose them. Twisted focuses on the PLL's crime, while Ruthless identifies a possible "A." The twists are familiar--it's now expected that nothing is as it appears--but Shepard still delivers conclusions that makes readers want more.
