Book Review: Pretty Little Liars

I'm obsessed with the Pretty Little Liars series on ABC Family. 

I've watched it from the very beginning and although I have no clue when these girls are going to graduate or who A is I'm suckered into watching each episode of Rosewood High drama to try and figure it out. 

I've known all along that the books are what spurred the TV phenomenon but never thought to read them as they were kid-ish in my head....

"Umm hello Megan you watch a high school drama show about 4 little liars"....

 

Yes that's what I thought to myself  before I finally broke down to read the first book.  When I updated my phone to the new IOS software the books app gave me the first book for free.  Well folks that's all it took and now I'm as hooked on the books as I am the TV show. 

 

So far I've read the first 5 books and have started on the 6th and I really can't get enough.  Each book is as good as the last and even though the characters "look" different in the books than on TV and the events are a bit different they are still awesome.  These are the books that keep you coming back for me intrigue and make you WANT TO KNOW what happens. 

I devour them!

After the first book I've had to purchase them from Amazon to go on my Kindle but that is ok as they are really cheap. 

1. Pretty Little Liars

2. Flawless

Hanna's obsession with looking flawless is making her sick. And their most horrible secret yet is so scandalous that the truth would ruin them forever.
And why shouldn't I tell? They deserve to lose it all. With every crumpled note, wicked IM, and vindictive text message I send, I'll be taking these pretty little liars down. Trust me, I've got enough dirt to bury them alive.
