Twisted

Right. So, after being lead to believe that Wanted was going to be the final book in the Pretty Little Liars series, here we are with more books.

Now, this book mostly takes place a year after the conclusion of Wanted. Aria, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna go to Jamaica for spring break and something terrible happens. Like most events that occur in these books, it takes way too long to figure out what this terrible thing is. And naturally, after the event, the four girls suddenly drift really far apart.

Aria is dating Noel Kahn. But their relationship gets strained after a new exchange student moves into Noel's house. A female exchange student. Aria acts jealous, Noel acts oblivious. It's a lot of chaos and just sort of a mess.

Spencer's parents divorce sometime in the year between Wanted and Twisted. Her mom is now dating/engaged to someone. Spencer starts getting really close to her soon-to-be-stepbrother. As in bordering on a relationship close. Except he has some secret of his own (and she ends up blabbing it to his father).

Emily is trying to get a swim scholarship, but she's lying about what happened to her over the summer that made her take time off from swimming. It's the reason she spends all spring break sick. Quite an interesting story there.

Hanna is just going to cause some amount of trouble. Her dad is running for Senate. She's accepted as his daughter more now because the public responds better to her than to her stepsister Kate. However, she does a photo shoot that doesn't end quite the way she expects and it could jeopardize everything.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this continuation. I expected it to be one of those books that an author writes simply because their story has become a TV series. But this wasn't like that at all. These characters are still the same ones that Sara Shepard has been writing about for the previous 8 books. It also leaves open some questions about what happened, not only in Jamaica, but in the Poconos a year earlier. I quite enjoyed it.
