INTRO
"It's always the prettiest smiles than hide the darkest secrets."
Lauren Rhodes is a liar.
With her kind smile, perfect grades, and overall sweet appearance, she has the whole world fooled. At first glance, no one would suspect the plethora of dark secrets hidden inside her pretty little head. With her position as Alison's right hand woman as well as best friend, not only does Lauren manage to keep her own secrets under wraps, but she has dirt on everyone else in Rosewood too. Including a single secret from the most feared secret-keeper in Rosewood herself, Alison DiLaurentis. Exchanged for one of her own, of course.
Together, Alison and Lauren are the queens of Rosewood; one the classic mean girl asserting her place as the head of the food chain with harsh words and a flip of her perfect hair, the very definition of a poisonous yet beautiful flower, and the other a lion dressed as a lamb, spending her time with an innocent smile and doe-looking blue eyes so that no one suspects the monster hidden inside. They were a perfect combination of deception and perfection. Lauren and Alison were so close, in fact, that many others speculate that the only reason the two girls have never fought is that they could both simultaneously ruin the other with a single breath of words.
Either way, they were the ideal set of puppet-masters in a sea of those attached to strings.
Then one fateful night, the unthinkable happened and Alison went missing under mysterious circumstances.
And now, a year later, Lauren finds herself going from the unseen hunter to the unknowing prey when she alongside the four other members of her and Alison's former group begin receiving messages from a mysterious sender known only as 'A'. Panic ensues, especially when it turns out the messages contain their secrets that were known only by one person, Alison DiLaurentis.
With new secrets to discover, the arrival of a new student she can't help but mutually fall for, and a dangerous plot being uncovered, can Lauren manage to survive A's game of cat and mouse?
This is war, and no one is going to escape unscathed.
"You swear you won't tell anyone, Ali?"
"Cross my heart and hope to die, Ren."
