Hannah has stolen $10,000 to cover up black mail from a gone-wrong modeling shoot, and Aria is trying to keep her relationship with her boyfriend, Noel Khan, ever since the perfect, beautiful, blonde, exchange student from Finland named Claudia, moved in.
I loved this book because it kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time. It has you guessing the entire book, only to give you a plot twist! The one thing I did not like about this book is that it NEVER ends. I am on the ninth book and there seems to be no end in sight. This however is a blessing and a curse considering I don't want it to end and i just want to know who A is (the creepy stalker/blackmailer whom they thought was Ali/Tabitha but is not because after they announced her death they still receive the threats).

I would absolutely recommend these books to anyone! Especially if your into a good drama/mystery.

I absolutely love books of mystery and drama. I just don't like books that have the movie/show series to them because it makes it even harder to know which one is the original story. The suspense always keeps me on the edge of my seat though.

I agree with Janelle's comment. I would rather choose either the book or the television series and not both because it makes it confusing, and it also irritates me when the book and movie/ show aren't the same. However, it does sound interesting and I enjoy the genres of the book.
