From the very first book, I was addicted to this series. Who is it. It takes an intriguing storyline to begin with, then compounds upon it in ways you could not have imagined. This book is so hard to put down; you find yourself reading for hours wondering, "What's going to happen next. What happened that night." Truly a page-turner. My hat's off to you Sara Shepard; keep them coming.
I really enjoyed this book. She wants to be the most popular and sexy girl there. The girls were older so to me it was more interesting. And they matured more in this book.Spencer thinks she is adopted, so she goes through great measures to try and find her adopted mom, only to have the worst thing imaginable happen.Emily has gotten over her love for girls and has her eyes set on a sexy new boy.Hanna is going through everything to make sure that she is at the top of her school. What does she do to get it.And Aria grew up the most for me. She hasn't seen her English teacher since he moved, and she seemed to be getting past the older guy thing until her mom's new boyfriend comes into the picture.
I think that this book was great. It continued with the pretty little liars series, but didnt get boring or repetative, and still left me hanging at the end to read the next book. I recommend this series to everybody, as it is a great series. 5 stars.

Spencer suspects she is adopted and teams up with Andrew Campbell to discover the truth. At the core of the novel are the mystery of who killed Alison and the identity of the wicked new A.WICKED is a breezy page-turner with a fair number of references to pop culture, red herrings and surprising twists.

I recommend it to young adult readers who like a good mystery that will keep them guessing until the end --- and wanting more.

There's new potential scandals for each of the girls too, Spencer's real parentage; Hanna's worries about her soon-to-be stepsister, Aria's `relationship' with her mother's new boyfriend and Emily's unexpected attraction to someone new.One of my favorite parts of WICKED was the party Spencer's parents threw near the end of the book. WICKEDSARA SHEPHARDContemporary YAHarperTeenRating: 4.5 EnchantmentsI love the PRETTY LITTLE LIARS series. While it looks like Ian is finally getting what he deserved for Ali's murder, suddenly the girls are faced with a brand new A. Shephard creates a world of tension, casting suspicion on a whole new cast of characters, causing the reader to wonder how they could be tied to the new faux A and even in the case of one or two, how they could be tied to Ali's disappearance all those years ago. Sarah's PRETTY LITTLE LAIRS novels were inspired by her upbringing in Philadelphia's Main Line. Someone's sending more threatening text messages and taking photos, threatening to expose brand new secrets and turn everyone lives back upside down.
A great addition to the series, WICKED picks the tension back up again, throwing doubt on the possibility that Ian is really Ali's killer. It really has it all, a great mystery, scandals and characters that keep you glued to the pages anxiously wondering what will happen to them next. All the action comes to an unexpected climax and while Spencer finds herself remembering more about the night Ali disappeared; Aria finds herself in a situation she never expected and Hanna does what she thinks is the smart thing to save herself from what she believes Kate has planned, but is it really. And that's the last thing everyone wants, especially with the start of Ian's trial so close. But when the worst thing that can happen does, suddenly the girls find themselves worried about their own safety.I love how Ms. I can't wait for the next book `Killer' to come out this summer and see what happens to the girls next.Sara Shephard graduated from NYU and has an MFA from Brooklyn College.
