Review: Toxic - Sara Shepard

Review: Toxic - Book #15 Pretty Little Liars Series - Sara Shepard - June 2014

Wow , Book #15 already. This would have to be hands down one of my all-time favourite teen series , since the fact remains that I love the TV Show and the Kindle Worlds Fan Fiction books. As we near Book #15 it does make me sad to think that one day like many other series that the Pretty Little Liars will be gone. You would think though after 15 books that "A" could not dig any more dirt up on these girls or that you would run out of twists and turns that the novel could take. In Book #15 it starts with re-hashing how the girls escaped the fire at the Poconos, the one where Ali had tried to kill all four girls but failed and talked about how Ali had hired Tabitha to head to Jamaica and pretend to be her so that the girls would think it was "A" which of course we know they did and then Tabitha was killed. With Ali's accomplice Nick behind bars and the fact that Ali is supposedly dead , the girls believe that maybe once and for all they can lead a normal life but with the "A" still out there and Ali really alive, it doesn't look like the girls will be let off that easy. It seems as well that Ali has started up a fan base online called "The Ali Cats" who are more than happy to play as Ali's puppets and cause chaos, danger and mayhem towards the girls.  We have Hanna who it seems has been given the role of a lifetime to star as herself in a movie, but what happens when "A" takes a snap of Hanna and actor Jared getting a bit too close for friendship and sends the pic to Mike - Hanna's boyfriend? Is this finally the end of Hanna and Mike Montgomery ? Has "A" won this round of A vs Hanna ? Aria it seems has hit the big time when one of her paintings is brought by a big time artist and things are flowing her way, but what will happen when it turns out that all is not what it seems and that "A" might be behind her sudden success ? Will Aria lose everything when she is labelled a "fraud" and a "liar" ? Spencer , wanting to give back to the world has created a blog about Bullying and has gained a worldwide interest - when she is invited to speak -she jumps at the opportunity but not before she is the victim herself of cyber-bullying by someone known as DominickPhilly - is he one of the "Ali Cats" ? Emily is about to get another shot at happiness with Jordan as it seems she may be released soon, but what happens when Ali decides that Emily should only love her and no-one else? 

Again, this wouldn't be a PLL book without a handful of murders, the foursome being disbelieved by law enforcement and of course a major cliffhanger. 

I will now hold with anticipation for December to come around as Book #16 of the PLL series is released.

This is a must read for all fans of the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard .
