I thought I had written a review for this already. I read it several years ago. I read this series because several of my teens got really into it. ;)

Basically - just about everything you want to happen happens in this last book. We see all the girls' reactions to such serious pressure (which I'm not sure is realistic, but definitely believable for their characters and their wealthy setting). Ali receives the ultimate sentence - she goes to jail, the girls get their justice, AND to top it all off, she's perceived as ugly–though we feel a little sorry for her at the end, it's just the justice we want for this girl.

Vicious reads differently than Shepard's other books (more courtroom setting than you might think, but no legal fiction) and it a little "out there" (the wedding was not believable to me), but it's still definitely written in Shepard's endearing-for-teens style. Pure fluff, and it was great. ;)

There's a lot to be skeptical about in this book, but it's a fun read with a satisfying ending.
