This one was at least better than the last one. It offered some new information and widened the conspiracy. Its strength is also its downfall. They manage to pull the reader in so many directions with so many villians and possible villians that nothing seems important. There are too many red herrings to get invested in the idea that any person actually did anything because every ending sets up another sequel.

The only upside to this book is they finally reveal something they've been teasing for 3 books. Of course it comes at the end with no details as the hook into the 7th book, but at least it comes.

Characters:
- Aria - continued trend of her "relationships" with adult men
- Emily - a manufactured crisis revolving around who she wants to date. AGAIN.
- Spencer - makes some rash decisions that seem completely OOC for her
- Hanna - continues to be a mean girl in all areas. Honestly hard to root for her in any way at all
