1) Right now in Unbelievable the girls, Hanna has just been hit by a car and is in the hospital. The girls, Hannah, Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Mona are all being stalked by someone called A and keep getting threatening texts from her. When Aria is out to lunch with her brother mike he tells him that she is being stalked and he brings her over to the police. Aria tells the police whats happening and says shes not the only one getting the messages from A. During the masquerade party for Hanna for her recovery after being hit. They are all having fun at the party until Maya gets upset with Emily because Trista came all the way to Pennsylvania from Illinois just to see Emily and Maya feels left out.  As Maya storms out of the party and runs away from Emily, a police man confronts Emily and asks her about the messages. Emily says she will have to get back to him and will tell him about A as soon as shes back and runs after Maya and finds her sitting in the pool room crying. When Maya sees Emily she runs away and wants nothing to do with her. Emily's phone beeps and she checks who its from: an unknown number telling her to go check the hot tub. Emily runs to find a doll in the hot tub who looks just like her and has black X's over its eyes as if it drowned, written on the forehead is "Tell and die.  -A" Emily is so scared and knows exactly what that means: Do not tell the police officer annoying.

2) I love this book. It is so exciting and i can never put it down. I love how all the girls are always looking for A and can never find her but A is always one step ahead of them and knows their every move. This is such a good book because the author just keeps pulling you in when you think one thing is going to happen the exact opposite does instead. i love thinking i know what will happen but then finding out i was completely wrong. it is so surprising in every part of the book. When i found out that Hanna knew who A was i thought that she would tell everyone and and A would be put in jail, but before she told anyone A hit Hanna with a car and made her forget everything. Sara Shepard is not a knew author for me, i have read all the other Pretty Little Liars series up to this book and plan on reading the rest.

3) I believe the them of this book is Fear. this is the theme because their isn't one part of this book that someone is not scared. The girls are constantly fearful of A and her powers. They are so scared that every time their phones ring of its A or not they are scared to look. When they girls find out that Hanna knows who A is they are thrilled but also scared of finding out who because they don't know if this person is dangerous or simply someone they are close too who are jealous and in need of power. Also A is fearful because when she finds out someone knows who she is she is willing to kill them so that she is safe. Also A is scared of being seen because she has been close so my times.

4) My favorite character is Hanna because she is so relatable. I can always see myself in the position that she is in at different points in the book. I also like that she is so strong and wont let A knock her down. it is great that Hanna is always their for her friends and can help them out whenever they need to talk. Hanna used to feel so left out when Alison was still around but reuniting with Spencer,Aria, And Emily has really benefited Hanna in a great way. i also like how Hanna's attitude is so optimistic even when they are getting messages from A.

5) My least favorite character is Mona because she is supposed to Hanna's best friend but lately she has been very rude to Hanna. First she started a fight with Hanna for no reason and is acting like it was no big deal even thought it was to Hanna. Also she sent Hanna a dress for her big party but sent it too small so that Hanna would be embarrassed. Also Hanna cant remember any of this because of the car accident but Mona refuses to tell Hanna thinking that it will preserve there friendship even though she knows Hanna will soon find out. I hope that Hanna finds out what Mona did to her and can hopefully forgive her so that Mona can be better character in this story.

6) I predict that in the ending of this book the girls will find out who A is and she will go to jail. i think this will happen because they have been so close before and have failed but maybe next time they can succeed with finding A. Also the girls have so many clues, like the possession of A's phone, and the access to her computer with help from Caleb. I really hope the girls find out who A is so that the can stop worrying about A stalking them.
