    #1 New York Times bestselling series

    The eighth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that inspired the hit ABC Family TV show Pretty Little Liars.

    Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Emily have been through a lot together—childhood pranks gone horribly wrong, not one, but two stalkers—blackmailers who know all their dirty secrets, not to mention their best friend’s murder investigation. Now these pretty little liars are finally going to uncover all the answers they’ve been searching for, and they can finally put this awful chapter of their lives behind them. Or so they think.

    Full of unexpected twists and shocking revelations, Wanted is the eighth book in New York Times bestselling author Sara Shepard’s compelling Pretty Little Liars series.

      There is an audio issue and almost every chapter it will cut out for about 30 seconds. And this has happened in every PLL book. Not a major issue just annoying
    • 4/5
      Fantastic end to the original series. Seriously impressed with how Shepard wrapped it all up and twisted it all around.
    • 4/5
      I saw it coming, kinda. The twisted way it happened I didn't see, but the twin thing I saw. I loved Hanna, Hanna and Mike made my day. The whole way through (I died a little when they broke up) If I would have read this originally I would have called another book! But it ties it all up so nicely it's a shame to untie it again. (but I'm looking forward to it!)
    • 3/5
      This is book 2 of the Sisters of the Heart series and though I did not read book 1, it almost felt like I did as I read this book--so some of the plotlines from that book must have been in another book I read.This book focuses mostly on Katie Brenneman, though there is a common theme of "being wanted" among several women in the book. In addition to Katie, Winnie Lundy and Anna Metzger are also both seeking romantic love and the children, Mary and Hannah, appear to need family love. I think even the non-Amish characters of Holly and Brandon want to renew past relationships.Anna has found her soulmate in Katie's brother Henry. Anna is a non-Amish woman who is willing to learn Amish ways and join the Amish church for the man she loves. Wow! It's a big undertaking. She's learning Pennsylvania Dutch (something Amish learn as their first language--many don't learn English until they go off to school), learning to can and to do laundry manually. My first thought is she must really love him with all the conveniences she is giving up.Winnie thinks she has found love with Malcolm, though to this point, she has only exchanged letters with him as he lives in Indiana. To her mind, the next step is to go meet Malcolm in person. The only problem is that she's in charge of her widowed brother's girls, Mary and Hannah, and they need to find someone to step in and take over that while she is gone. I do agree with the assessment of other characters that people can be different in letters than they are in real life. In writing something down, there is more time to order things and work on the wording of ideas. Real life interactions happen much more quickly. I also know how easy it is to build someone or something up in your mind and then be disappointed by the reality. So will Winnie find true love or find that Malcolm isn't all she thought? Enter Katie. Katie has long had feelings for Jonathan Lundy (father of Mary and Hannah). In fact, it is those feelings that finally convicted her that her "running around period" with Holly and Brandon where she hid who she really was from them was wrong. Now more mature, Katie realizes that she liked how Brandon made her feel wanted, but also that he liked her in a different way than she liked him. Katie has hidden this time from everyone in her family and friends. Despite her parents' misgivings, Katie hopes that taking the job helping Jonathan with his girls will result in love between Jonathan and her. Jonathan, at first, seems a man content to leave things as they are. He'd prefer Winnie continue taking care of his girls rather than getting married and having a family and life of her own. Though he and Sarah had problems in their marriage, he doesn't seem ready to move on with his life. In fact, he seems pretty clueless--he tends to present it as facts of suitability rather than mentioning that he has feelings for Katie after he gets to know her and sees how she works within his home. I'll admit, I don't know much of Amish courting or marriage customs, but I don't think most women want to marry someone just because the man thinks she'll be good for his kids and keeps a good home. At the same time, Brandon, now dying of cancer, wants to see Katie again. Though his sister Holly would prefer to never have to talk to Katie again, she agrees to try to find Katie and get her to come see him. I think Brandon has a remembrance of Katie that doesn't jive with what he sees when she comes to visit him. I'm not sure what he wanted from her--just to see that she was happy? I think the author does a good job with the plot, though the plot points aren't new ones if you read a lot of Amish fiction. I appreciate her showing the struggles of learning the Amish way of life (through Anna) but also showing the good parts of Amish life too. (Yes, there are some Amish, just like there are some non-Amish, who probably do take the man-as-head-of-household idea as a way to subjugate the women. Those are not presented in this book where the Brennemans are a loving family.) I'm glad to see the author lives in Southern Ohio at the time of the publishing of this book.
    • 5/5
      I was Heartfelt in my soul reading this book. I felt I was the Katie while reading. Though I am glad that she did fine what she wanted. I sometime feel like these people in my books. I am really glad she did deal with her past along to find out what had happen to Brandon and to become friends with Holly.
    • 5/5
      Oh my God! Ali has a twin sister named Courtney!? And she's the one that Aria rescued from the fire that night!

      Now that I got that out of the way...

      Wanted is the "last" book in the Pretty Little Liars series. Although this is not true and Shepard even left it open ended. As I already spoiled, Wanted has Spencer, Hanna, Emily, and Aria learn the biggest secret of all: Ali has a twin sister named Courtney. But this Courtney has an even bigger secret than that. Something that will shatter the Pretty Little Liars once and for all.

      This book was amazing! It all tied together wonderfully. I really didn't see that twist coming. I sure as hell didn't the last twist coming at all. It was awesome but it made me feel bad for Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily. Everything they knew was a lie. Bravo Sara Shepard and does anyone else think she might be a little obsessed with twins?
    • 3/5
      A little bit of a cliche, good ending to a series. I'm glad it didn't drag on forever, even if some of the middle novels did drag on a bit.
    • 2/5
      Maybe I have read too many of this series in order, but I found this story too trite. The main family in the Sisters of the Heart series is the Brenneman family, owners of a Bed and Breakfast Inn in Ohio. In the first novel of the series, Anna has left her "English" life and has fallen in love with Henry Brenneman. In this book, Katie must accept her "wild" year before joining the Amish church and decide if Jonathan is her future. The stories all follow a simple formula that life is in God's hand. Each story ends "happily ever after". I guess that life is not that simplistic, and sometimes the ending is not rosy.

      Shelley Shepard Gray's first book, Hidden, was such a refreshing book to read that I was eagerly awaiting the release of the second book in the series. It was good to see that this was a good continuation of the first book. This time we get to see the viewpoint of an Amish girl who's had a taste of the English world but chose to come back. I liked her story because it was more focused on wanting to be loved. It just so happened that she was Amish. It was also still interesting to see how Anna is adapting to the Amish lifestyle. While she's starting to get more comfortable, it was still refreshing and realistic to see her still having trouble fully submerging to her new life. I say this, because I've read other Amish stories where I've seen people give up modern things cold turkey and slip 100% into this new culture and it comes off very fake. The only complaint I had about the book was that it felt a little short. Jonathan and Katie's romantic relationship felt a little rushed. I know that Katie had been pining for him for a while but it seemed like he resisted her for a little bit and then completely caved in. I think more tension between the two would have been interesting to read. I also would have liked more story on Katie's rumspringa. I always find it interesting to read about Amish teens who get a taste of the "English world" before they get baptized. All in all I did very much enjoy this book. It feels different from the other Amish books that are out there. More light hearted and not as dramatic. I'll be looking forward to reading Winnie's story in the next installment of the series.
    • 5/5
      So wow... I read spoilers for this book & I was still confused and guessing for 90% of the book. The medium was right when she told the girls, Ali killed Ali. The real Ali (sent to a mental hospital the day our four favorite PLL were in the DiLaurentis' backyard) was out for revenge against her twin sister Courtney (who had already spent her whole life in a mental hospital). Courtney is the Ali we knew from books 1-7. Courtney is the girl whose body was really found in the hole. Courtney stole Ali's life that day in the backyard. She had to ditch Ali's old friends, Riley and Naomi, which is why they told Hanna that Ali ditched them for no reason. Courtney didn't know Riley & Naomi, she only knew Hanna, Spencer, Aria, and Emily. It's amazing though, that Mr. & Mrs. DiLaurentis didn't even know they had the wrong daughter all that time. According to Ali, Courtney ruined her life the day she stole Ali's identity with all the choices she made. Hanna, Spencer, Aria, and Emily were all responsible by association and had to pay. Ali had made her sister pay the day of the summer sleepover when she pushed her into that ditch and left her for dead. The girls believe that Ali is dead, after all she didn't make it out of the house when it exploded. At least, not that any of the girls saw. I firmly believe that Ali is still alive and in hiding. Evil like hers doesn't die easily. She has many more lives to ruin, as Laura St. DeLions, before she'll be satisfied. I think Ali waits a few years, changes her name, then comes out of hiding, and plans to destroy more lives. I'm so glad Sara Shepard decided to continue the series with four more books. I can't wait to read about Ali, as Laura's adventures.
    • 5/5
      I really loved this whole series. It had a lot of suspense and I always wanted to know what happened next. Overall pretty good but I thought that the ending was a little confusing and I'm still a little confused about what happened.
    • 5/5
      I was excited and sad to start the last book of the Pretty Little Liars series. In the end I was so shocked at what happened because that was something I didn't even think could be possible. It is a great series and I would recommend it to every reader.
    • 4/5
      Wanted is the final book in the Pretty Little Liars 8 book series. The series so far has been quite a ride and this book is no exception. The final book is full of surprises and suspense and addresses many of the major questions hanging over the series.There were many suspects in the killing of Rosewood’s Ali, but who really did the deed? And was Ali dead after all? In the end, I thought the killer’s identity plot device was a bit gimmicky and cliche. I wondered why were the girl’s so trusting of Courtney? Have they learned anything throughout this series? The ending was appropriately dark and creepy and in keeping with the series. I don’t think there were enough clues presented in the series to figure out the ending, but some clues are there if you dig deep enough.The series overall is highly entertaining for teens and adults alike. I’m glad I read this series and I’m sure it will enhance my enjoyment of the ABC Family series. However, after reading these books back to back I’m ready to move on to something else.Looking forward to checking out Sara Shepard’s next series beginning with the first book: The Lying Game due December 7.
    • 5/5
      This is the last book of the pretty little liars series but it is SO good, it was the creepiest thing ever!! I got shivers and at times began to have mini hyperventilating sessions, thats how scary it was. I had my sister come in my room just to sit there while I was in my bead reading my book. I loved it and you will too.
    • 4/5
      So now I know everything. I know what happened to Alison and why, who was behind the A thing and why Hanna, Spencer, Aria and Emily were targeted by A to begin with.I did get first A but the revelations from the later books in general and this one in particular were completely unexpected. I do like being surprised. :)This was a fun book series, and I want to read her new one (which starts in December) and also her other novel, The Visibles.
    • 5/5
      I started reading this series last year and was immediately hooked. Who was A? And why was A torturing these girls? Well, the answers to these questions were revealed in Wanted, the eighth and final book in the Pretty Little Liars series.Shepard did a great job with this book. She wrote an intricately woven novel that provided history into A’s identity so the reader could understand what exactly motivated A to become A. Early on a twist is introduced into the story that appears to be very random. As the story progresses, the twist starts to makes sense and only adds depth to the mystery. As I read Wanted, my mind flashed back to the previous novels and things quickly fell into place. Things I had missed before suddenly became clear.Like the first seven novel, Wanted uses the four girls’ history to help move the plot along. Shepard takes us back to the night of the sleepover. The infamous night that Ali disappeared. As each girl thinks about that fateful night, it’s Spencer’s memories that are the most valuable. Memories that will help shed light on what really happened.As much as I enjoyed Wanted, its ending was bittersweet for me. I loved the Pretty Little Liars series and highly recommended it. It was sad reading the last page knowing the end has come. Thankfully Shepard is working on a new series. The Lying Game, book one, will be released in early December.

      Katie Brenneman has loved Jonathan Lundy for as long as she can remember. Jonathan, a widower, comes to Katie's paents to ask permission for Katie to live in his home and care for him and his children while his sister is away. Katie's parents are aprenhensive but finally allow Katie to care for the widower, his home, and his children.Katie has a dark past that she has hidden from everyone in the Amish community. During her Rumspringa (running around years) she did some things she is not proud of, eventually running home to the Amish community to hide from the English world. Katie's past has now come back to haunt her, just as Jonathan starts to fall in love with the beautiful young girl. Shelley Shepard Gray is a great writer. I love how she portrays the Amish.
    • 4/5
      This story picks up right where book #1 left off. It ties in all the characters very well! This book is about Katie Brenneman, who has "feelings" for widower Jonathan Lundy, but he doesn't seem to notice. When Jonathan's sister must travel to Indiana, Jonathan asks if Katie could come and stay with his 2 little girls and care for them while his sister is away. As all this is happening, Katie gets contacted from a friend from her past during her "rumspringa" days. She needs to deal with her past and also find a way to keep Jonathan and his girls in her future.I liked the way this book kept the whole story line going from book #1 ("Hidden). Although you got to know Katie in book #1, you didn't really understand her heart and her background. I liked the way she works her magic with the two little girls and the way Jonathan starts to notice her. It was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it, but read book one first!
    • 5/5
      This is the second story in the Sisters of the Heart series by Shelley Shepard Gray, the first being "Hidden". I really enjoyed "Hidden" and in fact I liked it so much that I preordered this book and anxiously awaited its release. I've always been initally disappointed when an author puts out a second book that does not have the same main characters as the first. I was very interested in Anna and Henry in the first book and would have loved to read another book about them. That said, I usually find myself liking the new main characters, and this book was no exception. We saw Katie briefly in "Hidden" but didn't learn much about her. This story really delves into her character. Her struggle with Jonathan and his children seems very realistic, and though the journey is sometimes tough, I think everyone will be satisfied with the ending. I would definitely recommend this book.
    • 3/5
      *This review is from reading an ARC.*The first book in this Sisters of the Heart Series, "Hidden", was absolutely fabulous and a wonderful romance full of suspense. This second book is good, and I enjoyed the read and love the characters, but it was not very exciting to me. At least not in any comparison to the first book and other Amish books out there.As a theme for this book, the idea of being "wanted" is nothing new to most people, and our Katie wanting to be wanted and going after that attention (in her past) in poorly advisable ways is not terribly surprising. What was surprising is how she talked about her past as if she had done something completely unforgivable. That comes just from the back of the book blurb with "Will Katie be able to forgive herself for her transgressions and allow herself to move forward in her life? Or will her inability to receive God's love keep her from everything she's ever wanted?" It was just a little over the top for me.As a light hearted romance for practically any age to read, this is a good book with a good moral base behind it. Just for me, the way things were portrayed, I figured that something more exciting to repair from had existed.I love the first book in this series, and I cannot wait for another and more from this author in the future. But this book was slightly boring to me. I'm sorry.
