Wanted (Pretty Little Liars, #8)

by Sara Shepard

In Rosewood, majestic estates sprawl for acres, and Tiffany toggle bracelets dangle from every girl's wrist. But not all that glitters is gold, and the town harbors secrets darker than anyone could imagine—like the truth about what really happened the night Alison DiLaurentis went missing...Back in middle school, Ali plucked Emily, Hanna, Aria, and Spencer from obscurity and turned them into the beautiful, popular girls everyone wanted to be. Ali was the best friend they ever had. But she also made them do terrible things and taunted them with their worst secrets. Now, three years later, all their questions about Ali have finally been answered and they can put this awful chapter of their lives behind them. Or so they think.Not every story has a happy ending, especially when four pretty little liars have done so many wicked things. In the dramatic conclusion of Sara Shepard's bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, Emily, Hanna, Aria, and Spencer could get everything they've ever wanted—unless A has one more horrifying twist in store.

Wow. The twists keep coming. Except for the last page. That was a very obvious lead in for more books. I said after book 4 i wasn't really excited to read the rest. I gave book 5 a try and ended up liking this arc. I've waited a few days to see if i want more after this arc and im still iffy. I am hella intrigued. but i am also happy walking away at this point.

The ending was not very satisfying to me. It was a bit cliche. If you are writing to get more episode material then go for it, make that buck. But the series deviated from thebooks early on. i guess what im most interested by is the author. Does she write horror? or is that ABC Family making her add straight up horror shit. was she in fact commisioned to write 1-4? was this her idea originally?

I saw it coming, kinda. The twisted way it happened I didn't see, but the twin thing I saw. I loved Hanna, Hanna and Mike made my day. The whole way through (I died a little when they broke up) If I would have read this originally I would have called another book! But it ties it all up so nicely it's a shame to untie it again. (but I'm looking forward to it!)

Oh my God! What a climax to the series (well, it was a climax to the series until Sara/her publishers/whomever decided four more books were necessary). For me, this ended the books nicely meaning that whist the next four novels are Pretty Little Liars books, when you finish Wanted you will be satisfied and your questions will be answered.

I was gob-smacked at the twists and turns Wanted took. I didn't see it coming at all, although it all REALLY makes sense. I was like "Well duh" but Sara's writing is so good that I never really guessed who it was and the constant blindsides of who it could be kept changing.

Sure there are some loose ends - Darren Wilden, Jason's freaky behaviour - but we find out who killed Alison, we find out who A is, and it all sort of falls together quite nicely.

I loved the series. Will I continue with books 9 through 12? I don't know. This series has been great and evidently this was Sara's natural end. Until money undoubtedly came into it. I wouldn't want to ruin these 8 books with 4 more, so who knows? What I do know is the 8 books I've read were amazing.
