Pretty Little Liars #10: Ruthless

I must admit when I found out that there's going to be 14 PLL books (not including the 2 companion books) I said "are you kidding me?" I know it feels like the series is dragging but honestly, it gets better and better. My mom purchased 9 & 10 for me and I breezed through them. I'm on "Stunning" (book 11) now and it's like I can't put it down. If you're getting frustrated, just give it a chance. If you've come this far, might as well read them all! :) Sara Sheperd keeps you hooked and I can only imagine what A has in store for the Liars in the next 3 books to follow.Bottomline: The series may seem like it's dragging on but the books do NOT disappoint. I will definitely recommend to PLL lovers/fanatics. :)

This was a great continuation of the PLL series. I bought his book for my kindle fire and it worked great. I read it in 2 days. In my opinion, I think Sara Shepard is an amazing writer. The twists and turns were entertaining. As far as the characters, Spencer is striving for academic success as usual, Hanna meets a new boy during her fathers poltical campaign, Aria reunites with an old boyfriend, and Emily meets a new friend while getting in touch with her wild side. During this all the girls are forced to deal with a new A. I highly recommend this book if your a fan of he series.

What I Liked: 1) Reading PLL is like reading a tabloid, for me. Like, you can't possibly imagine how all of these crazy things are happening, yet you can't stop reading. I love being able to indulge in something like that every once in a while. It is unapologetically unbelievable, and I love it for that. Like one of those horrible reality shows when you wonder, "are you like that in real life, or are you only acting that way because there is a camera on you?" 2) Once again, we were met with more questions than answers. That's something I like about the series, but there was something different about it in Ruthless than some of the others. In Ruthless, we were met with a definite answer about one of the issues. I thought at one point everything might be all over, but of course it can't be. It was almost as if there was a story within a story. And while the main story continues, the other one was over. 3) I liked the direction the plot is going, though there were a few times I questioned the motivations of the four girls.What I Didn't Like: 1) It almost felt like we were reliving parts of some of the other books. That was one thing that really just bothered me. I would be reading along and think, wait, didn't this already happen, just with another character? That disappointed me some, because I've always found Miz Shephard's storylines to be unique and creative. 2) Why does every book start with, "well, I don't really hang out with my old friends anymore..." How many times are they going to have a girl break-up, only to have A tie them back together. When will they figure out they are stronger as a group? *shakes fist at make believe characters*Overall thoughts: For fans of the Pretty Little Liars series, I think you'll be surprised to find some repetitive storylines, but pleased to find that Spencer, Aria, Hanna, and Emily are still up to their old habits. I like it best when the girls are working together to solve their issues, and I found that to be lacking in this book. Here's hoping that in the next book, our favorite little liars will bring their friendship back!

My 17 year old daughter loves this book series. She collects every book by Sara Shepard that comes out. These books do contain some content that should not be read by people under the age of 12 as it deals with murder, mystery and relationships. The show on ABC Family does follow the books somewhat, but not exactly and some of the parts of the book that were more toward the above listed categories did not make the show as I feel they are not appropriate for all ABC viewers. Wonderful book collection for your older teenage daughters!

I gave this book a five for many reasons.  Let's start with the freshness of it.  Even though it is the tenth book in a series it has yet to drag the plot out.  I'm never bored nor find myself simply skimming pages.  There is always drama and suspense to keep you updated.  The series fits many ages.  From young tens to their moms, seriously my mom reads these, Pretty Little Liars has something for everyone in every book!

After reading  Pretty Little Liars #9: Twisted , I couldnt wait to find out who A was and I was so excited that Sara decided to add on to her series! But when i read  Pretty Little Liars #10: Ruthless  my thirst wasnt quenched...instead, I got this wierd feeling in the pit of my stomache. I didnt want to know who A was. All the possible culprits were gone. It seems like they have been for awhile. If Ali is still alive and they find out its her, thats not thrilling...just old news. I guess i cant see where Sara is going with this series anymore... Am i missing something? Is there a vital piece of information that im not recieving? Ruthless is just another filler to her dragged out series. I demand more creativity! One more thing, whats with all the damaged relationships? All these girls do is get used and abused. There really isnt one stable relationship...its sickening.

After reading every twist and turn in the PLL series, I began to worry about what Sara could have up her sleeve for a 10th book. However, she never siezes to amaze me. I turned page after page of Ruthless, unable to stop! The plot is great and keeps me asking for more the whole time!Only one month til pretty little secrets is a released, and I'm already anxiously waiting! Great job to Sara Shepard, she nailed it :)

Just like all the other books in this serious I never wanted to stop reading. This series is so mysterious. Shepard has a wonderful way of giving vague yet vivid details all at once. I love this series and will soon begin reading The Lying Game series. I bought the first 2 books months ago but I have yet to read them. If they are anything like the PLL books I'm sure I will love it.

Nice book good price

So many secrets that came into play in Twisted (Book 9) are still being hinted at in this new book, without us getting all the answers. So while we find out some secrets, other times us as an audience are still in the dark... as infuriating as this is, because i'm so impatient and want to know everything now, it's a great tactic on Shepard's part because it keep us fans wanting more and then we rush to buy the next book. It's so mysterious and all we can do is guess what these secrets are by the slight hints that Shepard gives us.

In my opinion this book deserves five stars, but I choose to put only four in this review because of its condictions, that were non perfect, indeed.

Sara Shepard knows how to keep readers reading. More secrets are revealed, definitely a good addition to the series. I can't wait to get to the end and move on to the next book!

Also langsam drehen wirklich alle am Rad. In "Twisted" haben Hanna, Emily, Spencer und Aria ja schon ein unschuldiges Mädchen umgebracht, aber das sie daraus nichts gelernt haben überrascht mich wirklich. "A" lenkt sie wie sie/er es will und sie bekommen es einfach nicht mit. Sie werden von vorne bis hinten manipuliert und zerstören dabei auch noch das Leben von anderen unschuldigen Menschen.Spencer macht Ali richtig Konkurrenz und ich kann sie einfach nicht leiden. Sie ist einfach zu dumm und denkt nur an sich und würde für ihre Ziele sogar über Leichen gehen. Hanna hat mir so leid getan, sie hat ein wenig Glück so nötig. Sie und Mike müssen wieder zusammen finden und ihre Stiefschwester scheint doch kein so schlechter Mensch zu sein, vielleicht wird für sie doch noch alles gut.Aria mag ich ja inzwischen, aber irgendwas verheimlicht sie. Was geschah damals in Iceland und warum muss sie unbedingt von Noel geheim halten. In diesem Band taucht ihre alte Flamme Ezra auf und Aria muss eine schwere Entscheidung treffen. Emily geht mir mit ihren ganzen wechselnden Liebschaften eigentlich nur noch auf den Keks. Sie muss endlich lernen die Konsequenzen für ihr Handeln zu tragen.Fazit: Das Buch war super spannend und voller Action. Die Mädchen müssen lernen endlich erwachsen zu werden und die Folgen für ihr Handeln zu tragen. Anstatt einen Schritt nach vor zu machen, geht ihre Entwicklung immer wieder zurück. Die Handlung war mal wieder einfach super und das Buch hat sich super flüssig lesen lassen. Ich bin gespannt was der nächste Band bringt.
