Crushed by Sara Shepherd

In the thirteenth Pretty Little Liars novel, the secrets are more crushing than ever...
It's springtime in Rosewood, but while everyone else is searching for the perfect prom dress, Hanna, Spencer, Emily, and Aria are on a different kind of hunt: They're looking for A...

Hanna puts her campaign for prom queen on the back burner to volunteer at a burn clinic, where one of A's victims is recovering. Emily digs into Ali's past at the mental hospital with some very crazy consequences. Spencer contacts an amateur private eye to help her stalk her stalker. But when their sessions get a little too private, they may forget to keep their eyes on A. And Aria's worried that A is even closer than she thought. When her dark secret from Iceland comes to light, she discovers that maybe, just maybe, the one person she's been trying to hide the truth from has known all along.

The liars are finally taking the fight to A. But no matter what they do, A's always one step ahead, ready to crush the girls completely.

When I first opened this book (like less than 24 hrs ago tbh because I literally couldn't get enough of it) I initially wasn't really looking forward to reading it. It's the thirteenth book in the series, and I was beginning to feel like it was becoming a little repetitive. 

Leave it to Sara Shepard, though, to pull me in with a thrilling plot and suspenseful writing. There were so many twists I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. I just finished it like five seconds ago and I'm going to go buy book number fourteen on Amazon right now.

I can't really say much about the book without ruining it for someone who isn't as far into the series as me, but just know that if you're a fan of Sara Shepard and the Pretty Little Liars, this book will draw you in and not let you go.

By the end of the book, I was yelling out loud because I was so into it. Thrilling and trippy and suspenseful and all of the above - this book was amazing. 

It's a quick read, but it leaves you wanting more. I can't even articulate my words about this book but just know that I freaking loved it, and I'm hooked yet again.

I really don't know what else to say other than you should definitely be getting far enough in the series to read this book. I can't wait to find out what happens next in the lives of the Liars - stay tuned for a review on the next book shortly. :)

FTC: Bought.
