Three years after the disappearance of one of their clique, a group of friends begins to receive threats of revealing their closest guarded secrets. Could it be their missing friend? The girls have grown apart, but they must work together to try to find out who is tormenting them . This is the first book in a planned series. Pretty Little Liars is an entertaining teen thriller. While relying on name-dropping designer brands to provide cachet, Shepard gives readers a serviceable plot, while effectively portraying some of the conflicts facing students. There are a number of questions left unanswered (including passing references to a specific, traumatic event that never gets detailed), which will encourage readers to look for the second book in the series.
