Pretty Little Liars

I'M STILL HERE, BITCHES. AND I KNOW EVERYTHING. —A
Alison, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer were best friends, until Alison disappeared. Three years later, the remaining girls, now juniors at Rosewood Day, are leading separate, but charmed lives. After living in Iceland, Aria returns home sophisticated and worldly. Emily is a champion swimmer, Hanna is the most popular girl in school, and Spencer's accomplishments make the average type-A valedictorian look like a slacker. But in Rosewood, appearances are deceiving, and when the girls start receiving mysterious texts signed by someone named A, the past threatens to ruin their perfect present. A claims to know all of their secrets—but who is A? How much does A really know? And what can four pretty little liars do to protect themselves from the truth? Find out in Pretty Little Liars.

Alison DiLaurentis, manipulative and vindictive "Queen Bee" of Rosewood Day, rules with an iron fist over her clique: Spencer Hastings, a perfectionist always trying to outdo her over-achiever sister and the only girl in the group to ever stand up to Alison; Hanna Marin, overweight and so desperate to be popular that she bends to Alison's will; Aria Montgomery, a former outsider; and Emily Fields, a competitive swimmer from an ultra-conservative family who is most protective of Alison. But before the start of the 8th grade, Ali disappears after getting into a heated argument with Spencer at a sleepover with the other girls, and the group falls apart. Three years later, Aria, back from a stint in Iceland that left her feeling confident, beautiful, and more stylish than ever reluctantly returns to town to find former nerd Mona Vanderwaal and a newly-thin Hanna to be the new social leaders of Rosewood Day. Soon Aria begins an affair with her English teacher, Spencer falls for her sister's boyfriend, Emily is in love with the new girl at school, and Hanna not only shoplifts, but also makes herself throw up to stay thin. Suddenly a mysterious person called "A" threatens to reveal the girls' secrets from past and present, including ones they thought only Alison knew; and one in particular that the girls refer to as "the Jenna thing." Ultimately, Alison's body is found cemented in her former back yard, and the DiLaurentis family holds a funeral for Alison in Rosewood, "the only home Alison ever knew." By the book's end, the identity of "A" remains unknown.

Unbelievable

BUCKLE UP, GIRLIES. NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS. —A
She was the life of the party, but now Hanna is lying in a sterile, white hospital room . . . and no one can wake Rosewood's former queen bee up—or remember what happened to her.

Spencer is getting a lot of attention for her econ essay (too bad she didn't actually write it). And lately Aria has been feeling like her pig puppet Pigtunia, with A manipulating her every move. Maybe an art class at Hollis would do Aria some good—unless of course it gets in the way of A's much more urgent assignments. After all, the liars' main extracurricular is keeping secrets, and with A around and The Jenna Things looming, they can't afford a slip up. Find out what happens next in Unbelievable.

The girls are set to turn in Melissa to the police for Ali's death; at Mona's insistence, Emily and Hanna wait at the party while Spencer and Mona drive to the police station.
