Unbelievable, by Sara Shepard

Unbelievable is the fourth book in the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard. This book picks up right where the last one left off. Each of the four girls (Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, and Emily Fields) are dealing with their own personal nightmare. Will their troubles ever end? Well in this book, they just might. Will the girls get closer and closer to not only revealing A's true identity, but finding out who really killed Alison DiLaurentis? But how will the girls narrow down it down when everyone seems to be a suspect? Who can they trust?

Oh my, where do I start with this book. This one was by far the best of the series. Every single possible problem that could happen occurs but I like how the author shows the characters persevering and how they manage to pull through with everything. It's not a peaceful ending and that's what makes the book even better. It has so much action and drama, you can't put the book down. When things finally seem to make sense, you're once more thrown off and that's my favorite things in books. The ending is just perfect and it's not typical.

The Pretty Little Liar's lives have officially turned into their worst nightmare. After Emily's parents find out about her true sexuality they send her to her ultra conservative cousin's house in Iowa. Aria landed her boyfriend behind bars, and she has moved in with her farther and his girlfriend, Meredith. When memories of the night of Ali's murder resurface to Spencer, she fears she might have had a part in killing Allison. Hanna faces the worst trouble of all the girls as she clings to life in a hospital bed because she knew too much. The girls need to all watch out or else they'll all end up like Hanna.
I thought Unbelievable by Sara Shepard was by far one of my favorite books I've ever read. I loved the constant sense of treachery and danger this group of girls faced. "A" kept throwing unexpected twists and turns into the plot, making it nearly impossible to put the book down. I felt connected with the characters, and at times I even felt like part of the action. I think a girl of any age would enjoy reading this novel. The suspense keeps the story moving foreword at a rapid pace and there is never a dull moment. Any reader would find it impossible to feel bored experiencing the thrill of this novel.
