I am currently in the middle of reading the book Pretty Little Liars #10 Ruthless. It is in my opinion one of the best books in the series so far. In Ruthless, the characters are in a split and are slowly getting back to normal. The main characters Emily, Hanna, Spencer and Aria split up because of something that happened in Jamaica. The book slowly gives you small details about what happened and the author finally tells you. One reason why I particularly like these books is because I like Sara Shepard's writing style. Every book ends with a cliffhanger that leaves readers wanting more.
The characters are devolving and changing majorly. They are making decisions that they would not particularly do in the earlier books. In this book, Spencer was doing drugs in her dorm room at camp and the police found it so, she called Hanna to place a bag in her friends room because she thought that her friend ratted her out. First of all in book #1 Spencer would not even think about doing drugs because she would think about doing drugs. Also, Emily dated this guy named Isaac and they had sex and she got pregnant. Emily would not have had the opportunity to get pregnant because she was dating a girl named Maya. It sort of confused me because these characters changed their personalities so much. I think that maybe because the later books were recently written and the other ones were written years before that maybe she felt that the characters were boring. Also the main characters have gone through so much that they wanted to be rebellious.
