Pretty Little Liars Book #7 Heartless

I'm sure you're on the edge of your seat waiting for the conclusion to the last book about our little liars, and I must say not all the questions are answered, they have yet to come. Last time our Pretty Little Liars saw what they thought was Ali in the woods, but at the hospital the doctors claim it was a hallucination, due to the fact that they were deprived of oxygen. Emily however was convinced that Ali has come back from the dead just to be friends with them again. Spencer we know thinks shes adopted and she might as well should have been, but after the fire her parents were overjoyed that nothing happened to her that they were willing to spoil her rotten. But Spencer knows it will come to an end as soon she tells them all her college savings are gone, but instead her parents shrug it off telling her they will get the money back and also telling her that Olivia was her Birth mom, sort of at least. You see after her parents had Melissa the doctor said it would be very difficult for her mother to have another baby, so they used he moms egg and her dads sperm and had it implanted in Olivia. So Olivia did give birth to her, but genetically she is her parents 100%. But after looking through her fathers old Yale yearbooks she uncovers another family secret: A long time ago her father had an affair with Mrs. Dilaurentis, which is right when Spencer realizes Ali was her half sister. Aria has been getting in touch with her inner soul, she went to a seance in hope of contacting Ali. While there she ruins into Noel Kahn, her definition of a typical rosewood boy. Noel is also her brother Mikes best friend, and he somewhat has a crush on Aria. So the next day when he shows up at Arias new home she tells him that he's not really the type to be going to seances, but he tells her he really goes to them in hope of contacting his deceased brother, the one nobody really knew. Aria immediately feels sorry for him telling him she would love to come to his hot tube party this weekend. At the party Aria becomes the laughing stock do to the girls recent accusing of Ali being alive, just in time Noel rescues her asking her if she wants to go to the valentines dance. Hanna's father claims he received an email from the schools physiatrist suggesting she go to a nearby mental clinic. Her father also agrees noticing that she has seemed particularly stressed lately. once at the clinic a small girl named Tara takes her under her wing until Hanna realizes the girls are "losers" and a more popular girl named Iris offers to be her friend since they are room mates. Iris shows her a secret attic room that only she knows the passcode to, and she continuously mentions her previous room mate Courtney. One day at a group therapy session Tara tells the therapist of Iris's magazines and shows her one to prove it, specifically one that Hanna is in that tells everything she's gone through starting with the first note from A. Iris is not only shocked but angry with Hanna because she told Hanna the real reason why she was in the clinic but Hanna lied about why she was. Iris has a complete meltdown, in the end of the session Tara and Iris where in trouble. When Hanna wakes up she's in her room and realizes that one of the drawings on the wall of the attic was a drawing of Ali, she goes to Iris to confront her on how she knows Ali but Iris doesn't have any idea what shes talking about, and just then Hanna is taken away by a a few Rosewood police officers. The same thing happened to Aria as she was visiting Ali's grave, and to Spencer as soon as she told her parents she knew about the affair. Emily, has been in Amish country all this time, she was sent there by A telling her she would figure out if Ali was alive if she went there and talked to Lucy Zook. All Emily really found out was that Lucy's sister Leah left Amish country for a man she loved named Darren Wilden, to that day she still hadn't returned so everyone assumed she was dead, they even had a grave for her. As soon as she stepped of the bus in Rosewood she to was taken away by a Rosewood cop, the 4 girls all meet up at the police station where they share what they've learned over the past few days, after awhile Wilden told them they were allowed to leave and that they've found Ali's killer. His name is Billy Ford and he not only killed Ali but he also killed Jenna just a few days before. Before Ali's death he was one of the workers building the Dilaurentis's 20 person gazebo, he was recently working on a broken pipe at Jenna's house, not only was he the killer, but he was also A and he had been stalking the girls ever since they started working on the gazebo. SO the question still remains: did the girls really see Ali, or was it just a hallucination? The answer: neither.
