DISCLAIMER: IT MIGHT HAVE SPOILERS IF YOU HADN’T READ THE PREVIOUS BOOKS


Wicked is the fifth book in the Pretty Little Liars series written by Sara Shepard. It is also the first book on what it considered the second arc of the series.

Everything should be perfect on Rosewood. Ali’s murderer is behind the bars and A a.k.a. Mona, the stalker who had been making our girl's life a nightmare is dead. Of course, Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hanna have still to deal with Ali’s death. To deal with the issues it might have caused them they have started group therapy, all together. Therefore why isn’t our pretty little Liars life perfect?
Aria’s attraction to older guys is becoming a habit, but this time it might interfere with her family. Spencer’s problems with her family might be deeper than a competitive relationship between sisters, deeper than what Spencer would have ever imagined. Hanna’s struggles with her new family affect her status, bringing her to old bad habits.  Not forgetting about Emily’s crazy untraceable orientation.
However, their problems are minimal if we compared to the appearance of a new A, when Ian’s trial is around the corner.

            Wicked was a nail-biting book. It met all my expectations as a Pretty Little Liars book. It was intriguing, as well as mysterious. I was happy to be able to know more about Spencer’s family, as I think her family is related somehow to Ali’s family, and why not, Ali’s murder. Spencer’s family is really interesting because they seem to have a lot of locked drawers full of secrets.
Also, being able to learn more about Hanna’s new family, which had been always in the background. In addition, the murder case gets more attention and as I love mysteries on books I enjoyed this part. However, every single thing told brought more questions.
On the other hand, Aria’s troubles seemed a little unrealistic, as well as uninteresting. That added to the fact that I really liked Aria and Ezra as a couple, made, in my opinion, Aria’s chapters tedious. Together with the fact that Emily’s life, which hadn’t ever been compelling, made me unable to give the book a 5/5 rating.

            In conclusion, Wicked was what I was expecting a Pretty Little Liars series book: about 300 pages book full of mystery, plotting and secrets. If you liked the previous ones, you will like this one too.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
