Three years ago, Alison disappeared after a slumber party, not to be seen since. Her friends at the elite Pennsylvania school mourned her, but they also breathed secret sighs of relief. Each of them guarded a secret that only Alison had known. Now they have other dirty little secrets, secrets that could sink them in their gossip-hungry world. When each of them begins receiving anonymous emails and text messages, panic sets in. Are they being betrayed by some one in their circle? Worse yet: Is Alison back? A strong launch for a suspenseful series.

I prefer the TV show version to the books, but this was very very good. A little slow at first but picked up. I loved Emily for her loyalty, Aria for her arty individualty, Hanna for her sweetens and vulnerability, and Spencer for... Well, she reminds me of myself. The book was suspensful and both the books and the show are serious guilty pleasures of mine (and gossip girl, but shhh, don't tell!) I bought a copy of the first book, too, because I really enjoyed it. The plot was fascinating  and original, the writing detailed and amazing and the books and the show are both ADDICTIVE! Only problem is I straight away knew who A was- thanks, Pretty Little Liars Wikia! *glares*.

Until next time! Xxx
