It’s been a little more than a year since Pretty Little Liars came to an end.
And we miss it, we really do.
There was a final A unmasking, punches thrown, lives saved, a wedding, one last twisted reveal and a tear-filled group hug – and then it was all over for Pretty Little Liars fans.
But with the spin-off series, The Perfectionists, soon on the way (and two of the Liars returning), it looks like we’re going to be in for a whole lot more mystery.
In the meantime, though, here are six books that Pretty Little Liars won’t be able to get enough of.
Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
Postcard perfect Jar Island is home to charming tourist shops, pristine beaches, amazing ocean front homes – and some pretty brutal revenge schemes.
Kat, Lillia and Mary team up to enact separate revenge plots on the people who they think have wronged them.
With an unlikely alliance in place, there will be no more “I wish I’d said…” or wondering how much better life would be if he wasn’t there. These girls will show Jar Island that their revenge is just the beginning.

One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
One Monday, five students walk into detention: the Yale-bound and rule-abiding Bronwyn; Addy, the picture-perfect homecoming princess; Nate, the ‘bad boy’ on probation; all-star baseball player Cooper; and Simon, the person behind the school’s notorious gossip app.
By the time they all leave, Simon has died – and investigators reckon it wasn’t an accident.
He may have died on Monday, but Simon was planning to post some juicy reveals about his four classmates the following day…which means they’re all suspects in his murder. Or were they simply the perfect patsies?

We Know It Was You by Maggie Thrash
Midway through one of the Friday night football games, cheerleader Brittany Montague jumps off a bridge to her death – wearing the high school’s mascot costume.
After her death, the rest of the popular crowd begin to act really strange, too – and fellow students, Benny Flax and Virginia Leeds, begin to wonder what really happened.
Over the course of a little more than a week, the pair work to solve the mystery behind Brittany’s death.

Little Monsters by Kara Thomas
When Kacey moves to the town of Broken Falls to live with her dad, it feels like she has stepped into a brand new (albeit eerily charming) life.
She even gets welcomed into a tight new group of friends, with Bailey and Jade inviting her to do everything with them. But then they start acting distant.
And when they don’t invite her to the party of the year, Kacey begins to wonder what went wrong – but she’ll never get the answers as Bailey never made it home that night. Suddenly Broken Falls doesn’t seem quite so welcoming…

Everything You Want Me to Be by Mindy Mejia
Hattie Hoffman has played many parts throughout her life: the good girlfriend, the good daughter, the good students. But she wants more: she wants something bigger, brighter and – ultimately – more dangerous.
The small-town community is ripped apart when Hattie is found brutally murdered – and thrown upside down when it is discovered that she was in a compromising (but possibly explosive) secret relationship.
But did anyone else know? And how far would they have gone to end it all?
