Original Blog Review: http://landamac.weebly.com/blog/prett...My Blog: http://landamac.weebly.comMy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Esc... “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the naughtiest of them all?”So let's see... what am I going to say?!This series is huge and there are a LOT of books (sequels of PLL) and I don't really want to review them all because I hate to review books of series especially when the series is as long as this one... so, maybe this is going to be the last book I'm going to review from the series 'Pretty Little Liars' by Sara Shepard... yes, maybe... because I can always change my mind!I'm a huge fan of the tv show, I'm like addicted to it... and when I started reading the books I was like 'wow, actually I don't like the books as much as I like the tv show'... and that's true... I like the books because it's the original story but maybe I prefer the 'new story', the tv show story... I think that that's better and even more complete! (in my opinion of course, because the opinions may vary)... I like the characters in the tv show better than I like in the books.... maybe because I'm watching something and not reading it, which is strange since I always prefer the book when there's some book adaptation (to a movie or a tv show)... I don't know how to explain it...This is the continuation of a BIG plot, there are 5 girls, one of them is 'probably' dead and the other 4 girls that are pretty little liars... (I think that everyone knows the story, but if I don't tell you this this review is going to be too small because I don't know what to say about this book!)This time the girls are being even more tortured by one person that they don't know... I mean they know that person but they are receiving anonymous messages... and those messages are sign with an A... so they call that person 'A'.It's on this book that we discover who A is... I mean, we think we discover who A is, and the girls think that know who A is... (I will not tell you because I don't want to spoil you... if you watch the tv show then you already know what I'm talking about)... but, the truth is that maybe A is still around, and maybe they are pretty wrong... maybe they don't really know who A is... maybe there's more than one A!At the end of the book something happens... Emily thinks that she saw Alison... but supposedly Alison is dead... is that Alison alive after all? or is Emily just hallucinating?! “Don't believe everything you hear”I gave to this book 3.5 stars because I can't consider this series one of my favorite series... the tv show is one of my favorites, but the books are not!I think that I gave to the first book 4 or 4.5 stars, to the second one 3.5 stars, to the third one 3.5 or 4 stars and to this one 3.5 stars... because I just can't imagine myself giving to these books more than 4 or 4.5 stars... I just can't.There's something really good about the 'reading' of these books.. and that thing is that the writting is quite simple and the reading is really fast... so if you need a book to relax a little, a mystery/contemporary... then yes, I recommend this series... and it is what I read when I need to relax and when I need something not too long (yes, these books have around 200 or 300 pages, which is not too much when you are used to reading dystopias or sci-fi).
Sara Shepard...obrigada por me viciares em PLL! Estás perdoada pelo mauzinho The Lying Game.Doces e Vingativas é bombástico! E é sem dúvida o meu livro favorito pois é finalmente neste livro que a identidade de 'A' é revelada! A sério, adrenalina é que não falta no livro, onde muitos segredos são revelados e muitas confusões são resolvidas. Mas vamos por partes. Quanto à identidade da 'A' não é quem eu pensava que era, tinha quase a certeza que era Melissa mas pelos vistos não. Já no final do 3º livro vimos que 'A' não está para brincadeiras quando atropela Hannah que fica em coma no hospital Emily vai viver para Iowa com os seus tios que são super conservadores. Já pensando na trágica vida que vai levar, é surpreendida quando chega lá e vê que as suas primas são umas rebeldes. Depois de serem apanhadas numa festa, Emily regressa a Rosewood. Também tem de lidar com problemas amorosos, já que foi viver com os seus tios na esperança de poder curar-se da 'doença' de gostar de raparigas, tal não acontece, pelo contrário, conhece uma rapariga,Trista que irá trazer problemas ao relacionamento de Maya e EmilySpencer continua na sua mentira de ter escrito a redacção que está a concurso num prestigiado prémio. Isto todo origina uma valente discussão entre Melissa (irmã de Spencer) e Spencer. Esta discussão faz com que Spence empurre Melissa das escadas abaixo. O que acontece é seguir é uma forte pista que Melissa poderia ser a 'A'. Melissa apercebe-se que não se lembra de vários acontecimentos passados, e que já não é a primeira vez que isto lhe acontece. Conclusão ela pode ser perfeitamente a assassina de Alison e não se lembrar. Aria continua com o relacionamento com seu professor de Inglês, Ezra mas o namoro não corre bem, eles acabam e Aria vai viver com o pai e a nova madrasta. Claro que o ponto alto do livro é quem é a 'A' e o que realmente aconteceu a Jenna. Esta melhor parte não vou contar mas gostei da explicação da autora. Consequente a isto, 'A' é revelada, é assassinada por Spencer e Ian, o namorado de Melissa é preso pelo assassinato de Alison visto na altura andava com Melissa e Ali ao mesmo tempo.O cliffhanger do livro é óptimo...ficamos mesmo ansiosas por saber o que vai acontecer nos próximos volumes pois Emily jura que viu Alison e as meninas começam outra vez a receber mensagens..hmm temos uma nova 'A' que sabe quem matou a antiga 'A'! Confuso? :PLet the stalking begin...again!
What do You think about Unbelievable (2008)?
The end of this cycle of Pretty Little Liars, although sadly the series is somehow continued.We commence with a prequel rehashing absolutely every dull thing that happened before the disappearance of the infamous and appalling Alison, and reminding us of Shepard’s obsession with Bratz dolls. Then we’re back where we left off, as all the characters gather in a hospital waiting room to hear whether Hanna has survived her cliff-hanger car accident. Emily is not present however, as she has somehow m

Okay, WOW. This book literally had my heart pounding out of my chest so hard I considered putting it down... then realized I, of course, totally couldn't. Needless to say, all that adrenaline is probably going to keep me up for hours tonight. I know I wasn't as wild about the third book, but this one was incredible. Every time you think you've figured out what's going on, you learn something else and have to completely reevaluate. And while the last book was sort of all details of the entropy of each of the characters' lives, this one is basically non-stop action. I wish they'd put these out closer together so I wouldn't have to wait so long between installments -- but luckily for me, I already bought Wicked. Or unluckily -- this one would have been a good one to take a nice, long break after. As it is, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to wait more than a few days before cracking open the next one. My advice would be to wait years, until after this series has ended, and then just read them all in like, one crazy week. I know, I know, it's not especially feasible -- so let's just hope each new book continues to be worth the wait.

Actual rating: 3.5/5 starsThis book was much better than the last two, it was thrilling, and kept me wondering what was going to happen next (even though I basically knew, because of the TV show) The plot that this particular instalment is entered around was one of my favourite episodes, so that was really enjoyable! I also feel like towards the end of this book, the characters started to become less annoying! Hallelujah, haha.Going to take a break from this series now, and start back up again later! :)
