Pretty Little Liars Series by Sara Shepard

I have only read the first four books in Pretty Little Liars, (Pretty Little Liars, Flawless, Perfect, Unbelievable) by Sara Shepard. And I would have to give it a six out of ten.
Okay, look. If you are under thirteen or fourteen, don't read this book. You won't be interested and its not that appropriate.
Anyway... this book is really repetitive.

In each book, their lives start out good. Then in the middle, it gets very screwed up. When you are 3/4 done with the each book, you think that you know who A is. Then they kill whoever they think A is, and A ends the book with a snappy comment along the lines of "I'm back."

The writing, its alright, but I wish it wouldn't have been more predictable with the layout that Sara uses.

In case you didn't know, each character has a big secret that they refuse to share, that the mysterious A knows. A stalks them, making them do certain things, sort of like extreme blackmail.

Aria had a "thing" with her English teacher. Emily is a lesbian, but has strict parents and is very self reserved. Hanna stole from a store and was threatened to be thrown in jail, but her mom starts to date the police officer. And Spencer has stolen her sister's boyfriends, and is currently in love his her sister's current one.

Overall, these girls' lives are overly dramatic, repetitive, but at least quick and entertaining.
