Only, once a pretty little liar, always a pretty little liar--and these girls just can't help but be bad. Hanna will do anything to be Rosewood's queen bee.

My Review
Spoiler Alert! Because this is the fifth book in the Pretty Little Liars series, there will be spoilers. So if you haven't read these books yet, come back to this review when you have.
Because this is the fifth book in the series, I'm going to keep my review of Wicked really short. I really enjoyed Wicked. The characters are still the same, and the writing style and idea of the plot are still the same. And overall, I didn't really have any major problems with it, but I did have a couple small ones I wanted to talk about.
1. The fact that we still don't know who Ali's killer is: I honestly thought it was Ian, but after finishing the book, we're told its not. I mean, seriously, how long is it going to take to find out? Will we finally find out in book ten?
2. The characters are getting boring: After five books of their dark secrets, they just aren't really that dark anymore. Each character practically does the same thing they did in the previous book.
3. Some one always dies at the end of each book: Come on, is it really necessary.
Rating: 5/5 worms
Other than those few things, I really enjoyed Wicked. My rating may have been a little lenient, but I loved the other books so much.
