It&#039;s their darkest secret yet and guess who found out? Now A is determined to make them pay for their crime, and the only thing scarier than A is the fear that maybe, just maybe, they deserve what&#039;s coming to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} &#8211;<\/strong> This book took me a bit longer to complete then I had wanted &#8211; I just wasn&#8217;t in the reading mood. This whole series thus far is full of twists and turns. I enjoy the story line and reading into what should have been the t.v. series storyline &#8211; but isn&#8217;t. I like that its the same\u00a0characters\u00a0but in an alternate world kind of thing. I enjoy getting to know the girls more and feeling like them to an extent &#8211; the story really does pull you in. I am curious to find out who A the third one now really is &#8212; it makes me want the rest of the books to hurry up and be published just so I can find out &#8211; it that makes any sense at all.<\/p>\n<p>It was interesting to bring another person in that was assumed to be A but in the end wasn&#8217;t &#8211; I really do like this series and am dying to know who A really is&#8230;.\u00a0Anyways &#8211; until next time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 For years scandal has rocked Rosewood, Pennsylvania&#8211;and high school seniors Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer have always been at the center of the drama.
