Pretty Little Devils Nancy Holder 9781595141521 Books

I tried really, really hard to read this over a 2 year period. I put it down, tried reading chapters inbetween other books... just about everything. I just couldn't get interested in this book.

I'm not sure why this didn't catch on with me because it's not like I dislike Holder's work or that it's poorly written. I'm reading another one of her books (Possession) which is decent enough. It's also not like I can't get into YA fiction- it's actually one of my most favorite things to read. For whatever reason, this just didn't trip my trigger.

I think what really did this in was that it was pretty obviously inspired by the Pretty Little Liars series. There's nothing wrong with writing a similarly themed book but Holden borrowed pretty liberally from the series to the point where the books share most of a title. (Pretty Little ____) With these many similarities I can't help but compare the two, which let's be honest here: PLL is the far stronger book. I know I'm not the only person who had a problem with this.

You should still check this out and decide for yourself but I recommend that you get this from the library rather than buy it outright. I might try again to finish this book, but not anytime soon.

Pretty Little Devils Nancy Holder 9781595141521 Books Reviews

I picked this book up because of it appealing cover and interesting plot synapsis on the back! Also I had read several good reviews on , yet the more I trudged on into it's pages the less I found myself enjoying it!

From the very first pages I was slightly annoyed by the chat room conversation and Internet blog entries that seemed to fill the book with confusing abbreviations and slangy dialogue which were difficult to understand at times, but as the novel progressed they became more and more prevalent... more blogs, more instant messages, and more empty threats from an unknown stalker that went absolutely no where, taking me bit by bit out of the story.

Not only did the choppy Internet slang bother me but Nancy Holder dragged out the plot almost paper thin! Over 2/3 way in I almost gave up reading it wondering when the killer was going to strike at all! The threatening emails and text messages in almost every chapter never blossomed into anything tangible until it was too late to hold my interest any longer. Then the last 60 pages feel so rushed with half page scenes and lighting fast death after death!

Also I feel Holder skipped over detailing what could have made this book worth while! The deaths were only briefly spoken about and there was virtually no final confrontation between the heroine and the villain!

I give PLD 2 stars because even though I wasn't impressed with the plot itself, most of the characters were somewhat likable and the killer did catch me completely by surprise... Even though there was no motive for why they did it and the end revelation seemed to pop out of no where, making little sense!

I recommend reading this only if you like light teenage romance mixed with mediocre thrills!
When I read this book I was a teen, I'd rented it from the library, it was obviously a spin on Pretty Little Liars. The book is great. An invisible girl who finally reaches the eyes of the popular girls, it's one of those but very well done. It's the perfect amount of thrilling and sometimes terrifying. It also contains a good amout of modern day romance, very sweet. I loved the book when I was younger. I think I'll buy the book and give it another try.
great book.. very interesting and keeps you on your feet. kept me wondering what was gonna happen next or who was the next victim.. great book
Great book for teens.
Omg so unexpected. Spoiler alert the least unexpected person is the killer. Happy2bme is... lol you'll just have to find out.
Good book
Baby Sitters Club + Pretty Little Liars + Dexter = this book

Surprisingly entertaining, even though I figured out who the killer was very early on. Fans of Pretty Little Liars will like this book.
