Too bad! Because reading through the premise I kept thinking, "Wow, I think I kinda care who killed Sutton Mercer..." It's a shame when a great (or at least intriguing) premise is ruined by poor execution.

Sounded interesting... but then again, I never cared much for pretty little liars & after reading your review, I think I'll pass.

I thought this book was okay. I liked the thought of it, its definitely original, so thumbs up to Shepard for that. However, I admit that I did skip a good chunk of the middle purely because I became bored with her walking around pretending to be Sutton. I got it. No need to keep droning on!!! I really did enjoy the character of Ethan though, and I hope he does not turn out to be the murderer!!!! Overall, I give it a 3 out of 5 stars.

Thanks! for sharing

I don't know what your talking about, but I really enjoy this book. She always knows how to pull her readers in and keep them reading, and at least her book series are somewhat different from each other unlike some authors who write about the same subject with different characters. Clearly it's a book for teens, then.

are u kidding me that is the best series in the world don't listen to what they says because these books are the best books i have ever read and i have read a lot of books!!!

I dissagree, this book is my favorite.But I think Ethan is the killer.

I love this book! I have all 3 books and I am waiting for the last one next. In case you guys didn't know, Thayer Vega returns in book 3. And after book 3, you'll think it was Laurel who murdered Sutton. If it was, then why would she kill her own sister? Her own flesh and blood? But Laurel ISN'T her flesh and blood. Emma needs to watch out, because the killer might be closer then we think. I also think it is Garrett, Sutton's (now ex) boyfriend, because in book for, I was reading the preview and it said Laurel and Garrett was sneaking around, as if they have a big secret. Together. So anyway, love it and I hope Ethan isn't the murderer......

i dont think it was ethan it was probably garrett and sutton's friends

This book is really good and it is not boring in the least bit. You can't have the plot move to quickly in the first book if the series is going to be long. If it moved unreasonably quickly, i'd probably dislike it. I don't understand why you arn't interested in the book, but it is geared towards teens. The killer is someone the author doesn't want you to suspect (obviously) like Ethan (least suspicious in a way).... almost everyone else seems to much in the open and everyone else calls out "suspicious"

Well, the target audience is teens. Maybe thats why you dont like it.

I love this series and I can't wait until the last boom comes out. Personally I think Ethan killed Sutton. Why? Well there are so many reasons. In the 5th book, it is said that the last place Sutton was before her death was Sabino Canyon, which is across the street from Nisha and Ethan's houses. Also, Nisha was found dead facedown in her pool in the 5th book, Ethan could've easily done it because he lives next door. I forgot which book it was but Ethan hacked into a security website thing that showed who teepee'd the school, if Ethan could do that then he could have easily hacked into Sutton's computer and sent Emma that message. And when Ethan freaked out about Emma going through Becky's records, he had to be hiding something more than what that file said. The very last reason is that the killer has to be someone you least expect and frankly I don't think Emma would suspect Ethan, not in a million years. The killer also has to be watching her and Ethan is usually with her.
