"Pretty LIttle Liars" by Sara Shepard

Romance, action, mystery, humor, suspense -- this book is literally impossible to put down. The four pretty little liars, Hanna, Spencer, Aria, and Emily had always confided in their friend Alison DiLaurentis, and she held their secrets over their heads, never letting them forget about them for a minute. When Alison was unexpectedly murdered, these girls think their secrets are safe -- until they start getting mysterious texts from "A." Could "A" be Alison? Plot twists and turns make this book a really great read. However, for younger children (not teenagers yet), this book is not appropriate. Language, violence, and "adult" topics are mentioned throughout the series. Also, though, for adults, this book is a little bit amateur.

Appropriate for: teens, older teens

Rating: pretty good -- very exciting and will entertain you, but not much real meaning comes out of this book.
