Another in the Pretty Little Liars series that just blew my mind. What an ending! And still so different than the TV show.

I'm finding the brand name dropping to be less as the series weighs on...or maybe it's just becoming less annoying as I get used to it.

Book five has a lot to do with Ian Thomas and what is going on with him. Did he kill Allison? Is he the new "A?" I can't even say that you'll get answers to these questions, as my own head is still spinning! What is going on is Rosewood?

One thing I did not expect, with all the differences between the books and the show, is the desire to re-watch the show when I'm done reading all the books. I'm wondering if I will take away different feelings from the show after reading the books that inspired it.

Even with all the glaring differences, I think fans of the show will enjoy the books. The feelings of mystery and paranoia are the same, and with the same leading characters, it's easy to get sucked in and feeling like you're there with the four as they get their texts and e-mails.
