Wanted (Pretty Little Liars, Book 8)

This book is awesome. Such a crazy end to the Pretty Little Liars series and a great and crazy mystery at that. So many things happen that you have to read back and forth to understand what just happened that will result in you having one of the jaw open shocked facial expressions. I do suggest reading all the previous books before reading this one because everything will make so much more sense and these books are a great read and lots of fun with tons of scandalous deeds done by the girls. I really don't want to give anything away, so the only thing I have left to say is to just to read this book. I loved this book and the whole series and so do all of the friends that I have turned this book to. GET THIS BOOK!

I read this book in less that a day I just couldn't put this hard cover down. While it was my suspect that Ali might of been alive all along I wasn't ready for the twists in the story Sara Shepard created. This isn't the typical mean girls story that I normally dislike. The characters are complex and makes the reader care what happens to him. The story was a nice wrap that makes one see the whole series of book differently than when one was on book 1 as the final book becomes a matter of life and death for the girls with more lives at stake than I would of expected. I really like the final chapter with Emily getting some closure of her own.

Wanted is the 8th book in the Pretty Little Liars series and since it's been awhile since I read the series and I have to say I forgot a lot about it! I've also been watching the TV show, which is loosely based on the books, so when I read Wanted, I found myself thinking, "this isn't how it is on the show" or "I totally forgot they were together".I just wanted to put this out there that since I first started reading the books, I was always Team Ezria, and after watching the show, which I love, I can't help but root for such an adorable couple.Anyways, back to the book. Overall, it was a very light read, as each book is pretty short, but also very fun and entertaining. While reading the series, I kind of knew what the BIG secret was about Alison, but I definitely didn't expect it to be so twisted and I have to say that my favorite part was the big, climactic ending. I wasn't always sure who really killed Alison, and after reading Wanted, I can say that Shepard really blew me away with how crazy Alison's life really was.Shepard stills plays on the girls' insecurity, which is a common thing in teenagers, of course, and it was fun reading about their little mishaps and misfortunes. She really plays on their memories and even the reader's ability to pick up on the subtle clues to uncover the mystery, which altogether makes this a great series to read. Poor Hanna and her issues with popularity, Sweet Emily and her unresolved feelings for Alison, Practical Spencer and her family issues, and Little Aria and her boyfriend troubles.There's nothing but drama in the lives of these Rosewood teens and you'll easily soak up all the juicy details. I also find it very clever of Shepard to leave the ending so open, leaving room for the three additional books to the series that wasn't even planned. She's a great author and I really enjoyed the series and can't wait to read Twisted.

This was a really, really good series overall. I started reading the books once I found out the television show was based off of a book series. I was addicted from the very first sentence on the first page. This last book answered a lot of questions and tied up loose ends like why was there a picture of Ali in the institution (that was really bugging me!). The author had me guess, second-guessing, and triple-guessing my theory as to who 'A' was and who REALLY killed 'Ali'. Everything was answered! I was very satisfied. Glad there are more books to read!

I've like the Pretty Little Liars ever since a recommendation from a YouTube video. I had to try it out and wow, I'm so hooked on the series. I didn't see this book coming though I was wondering who's going to be A now.Spoilers below....I always suspected Ali wasn't really gone and the twin sister twist was great. And I'm certian she still isn't dead by the end of this book because the series keeps going. I recommend this series and book to anybody who enjoys a good read, young or old.

*THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS*I was a little bored with Wanted, (which is a first for a Pretty Little Liars book) maybe because 'A' wasn't really in it until the end; it didn't hold my attention very much. I felt like I was just flipping pages of a history book at points. I didn't think it was as addicting as the other books were. Needless to say, once Chapter 28 came along, it needed to be finished. Only because that was the near ending of the book. (Might I add that the ending will just shock you in all terms.)It was hard to follow though at points, like the whole twin-killing sisters and switching places, and it referencing back to the other books a few times. The book wasn't too great until Ali had taken the girls to the Poconos and decided she needed to hypnotize them again. Honestly, this is probably my least favorite of the books so far, because the last chapters were the reason I needed to finish.Hopefully, the ninth book will be better. It probably will be because I might happen to be in it...-- The Real A

I absolutely love this book. Actually I love this whole series. Sara Shepard always takes you on twists and turns that you never expect. I had known that there was going to be something about an evil twin before I read the books so I kind if knew what was going to happen but even though I did know about the twin I still didn't see what was coming at the end. I am really glad that she did add more books to the series because I would have had nothing else to read while relaxing in the summer.

I found all the past Pretty little liars quite interesting and they always seemed to keep me on the edge of my seat. I couldnt put the books down because i really wanted to know what happen to ally. This book has yet another twist and all kinds of turns and I really enjoyed it. But im a little tired of the same drama and will close this series here at book 8 on a happy note!

Shocking twists. Great books

All of the books in this series are amazing and keep you reading well into the early hours, but this book specifically was possibly the best so far. It has so many twists and turns. As a fan of the show and someone who reads a lot of theories, the major plot twist of the book was something i'd already heard about (the show is very different to the books, but often in theories people discuss the books in case the writer's do go down a similar route) which is slightly disappointing as I would have loved to read this with absolutely no idea what was going to happen. Having said that, I was still shocked reading it because it was so beautifully written and because the book is so exciting and gripping. The series could have ended here, but I'm so happy that the books have continued now because I can't wait to read what other trouble the girls get into.

This book was the weirdest one of all because you never know if Ali is Ali or Courtney. Anyway, AWSOME!

Endlich erfahren wir wer Ali wirklich getötet hat und warum. Emily, Spencer, Aria und Hanna dachten sie hätten das schlimmste hinter sich, doch die Jagd hat gerade erst begonnen und A wird erst aufgeben wenn die 4 tot sind. Dann taucht plötzlich jemand neues in Rosewood auf, Courtney und sie bringt das Leben der 4 gehörig durcheinander. Doch was sind ihre waren Absichten und ist sie wirklich ein Opfer ihrer Schwester oder steckt mehr dahinter??"Wanted" ist für mich bis jetzt das beste Buch der gesamten Reihe. Die Autorin hat wirklich ein Händchen fürs Schreiben, was sie bis jetzt in der gesamten Buchreihe bewiesen hat. Ich hätte nicht gedacht das sie im 8 Band noch eine Schippe drauf packen kann, aber die Sache mit Courtney war wirklich raffiniert.Courtney hat die Spannung nochmal extrem hochgeschraubt. Ich konnte sie komischerweise von Anfang an nicht leiden, obwohl sie so nett war. Sie hat sich viel zu "normal" benommen und war sofort so aufgeschlossen gegenüber Emily, Aria und Hanna, aber vor allem gegenüber Spencer. Durch ihr Auftauchen hat ihre Familie endlich bewiesen das sie alle ein Ding weg haben, ich meine wer verschweigt schon seine eigene Tochter Jahre lang und "versteckt" sie?Emily war natürlich gleich Feuer und Flamme und ich dachte mir nur wie kann man so wenig Schamgefühl besitzen. Bei ihr habe ich das Gefühl das sie nicht wirklich weiß was Liebe ist und sich einfach nur von attraktiven Menschen angezogen fühlt. Sie sollte dringend mal mit jemanden darüber sprechen und sich nicht jedem an den Hals werfen der nicht bei drei auf dem Baum ist.Spencer ist einfach nur dumm, mehr muss man darüber nicht sagen. Sie hat in diesem Buch ein Fehler nach dem nächsten begangen, wie schon in den letzten Bänden. Aria war mir sehr sympathisch in diesem Buch und hat genauso gefühlt wie ich. Ich habe mich ihr nahe gefühlt. Hanna hat in Mike endlich jemand gefunden dem sie wirklich wichtig ist. Ich freu mich so für sie und die Sache mit ihrer Mutter fand ich auch so toll.Fazit: Das Buch war super spannend, voller Action und endlich haben wir die Antworten auf die wir so lange gewartet haben bekommen. Das Buch hat sich wieder super flüssig lesen lassen und die Charaktere machen erstaunliche Entwicklungen durch, positive wie negative. Man könnte dieses Band als Abschluss der Reihe nehmen, aber zum Glück geht die Serie weiter. Es gibt doch noch die ein oder andere offene Frage, wie zum Beispiel: Ist Ali's Mörder wirklich tot oder wer war der mysteriöse Komplize?? Band 9 kann kommen!!

Next PLL book... whAt's going on on this one ? The following book of Pretty Litlle Liars... We will know one day
