HEARTLESS WAS AMAZING!!!! NO JOKE SPOILER ALERT its insane than spencer and ali are sisters!!!!! but it doesnt have any proof ali's dead. i dont think she is. AND WHO IS A????????????

Posted by BIGGEST FAN EVER on January 20, 2010 at 01:38 PM EST #

RAWR! I got it last week and I am only at chapter 19! Anyone want to do my homework for me? Much appreciated!

Posted by Justine on January 20, 2010 at 03:18 PM EST #

SPOILER. I really liked it... but isnt anyone kinda disspointed about the killer? I mean he wasnt even a character until this book.

Posted by Tia on January 20, 2010 at 07:04 PM EST #

OMG I L.O.V.E.D Heartless!!! i read it in one sitting!! xD the next book is called Twisted but idk when it comes out. does anyone know?? *spoiler alert* omg it makes sense that ali and spencer are sisters. i am so sad that jenna is dead =( The seance was kinda creepy, i wonder if that will tie in with the plot. i wonder if iris is the guys daughter?? or maybe ali's sister of something??idk. awesome book. thanks sara =)

Posted by Jules on January 20, 2010 at 09:55 PM EST #

The next book is called WANTED not TWISTED it was changed. A is said 2 b billy ford but i think it is someone else. Ali is said 2 b dead, billy is arrested for her and possibly jennas, murder. i dont think wilden is completely innocent and same with jason. after all he is said to have maybey killed leah, which by the way whats the point in even mentioning tht whole thing with her? oh and also wanted comes out june 29th. i dont think iris is her sister, but i dont think she is a killer, but maybey A. i do not think alis dead tho. i think there are too many instances where it has showed her to be dead like the drawing of her, seeing her eyes in a limo in a car, all of them seeing her in the fire, and the bathroom in the siance. THIS BOOK IS SOO GOOD AND IM OBSESSD!!! AHH! i just wish things could be xplained for once!!

Posted by PLLOBSESSOR on January 20, 2010 at 10:10 PM EST #

omg just got it and read it in one sitting. it was amazing! but now im so confused and have so many more questions. but i finally believe wilden didnt do it but something is still up with him or his little symbol wouldnt be on the flag piece thing. but i wanna know is ali dead? who else is spencers dads child? how does iris come into all this? is ian alive or dead? and whats up jason? and why is noel being nice haha i would love to see them get together. so excited for the next book but i cant stand the wait!

Posted by Becki Pawlak on January 20, 2010 at 11:02 PM EST #

This book was amazing!!! Leah is definitely important and Wilden is too creepy for my taste. I don't believe that Ali is dead either, and I knew all along that Ali and Spencer were sisters!! I think that Iris might be Mr. Hastings other daughter which is how she knew all about Hanna and Ali. I also think that Ali was the one who was going through all the hospital things not Jason. Jason is also an important character but its confusing about exactly what. I can't believe that Billy Ford is the person who killed them. I mean I knew he was important when he kept getting mentioned the whole book. I can't wait for the next and final book to come out!!

Posted by Aliza Cohen on January 20, 2010 at 11:26 PM EST #

WOW. this book was sooo good! there were so many unexpected twists! i love it! but, like everyone else, i was left with so many questions. is it possible that maybe ali has a twin? or that billy maybe isn't the killer?

Posted by Nancy Avila on January 21, 2010 at 12:37 AM EST #

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS IS GOINT TO BE A TV SHOW YAAAY!! =))) LOVE THE BOOKS!! im havent read killers or heartless yet because im waiting untill wanted comes out eeep can wait for tv show and books =))

Posted by Devyn Prudhomme on January 21, 2010 at 07:27 AM EST #

omg- i think i know. i mean this would be EXTREMLEY werid lol bu i am POSTITIVE ali had a twin, and that's who killed her. remember in unbelieveable or wicked in the beginning ali's mom got mad at her and then she came out with another shirt? yeah. and get this: i think billy ford is the ali that killed her twin in DISGUISE! it would be CRAZY but it would explain alot!!!or if that's not right, i still think 100 percent that ali had a twin, and no one is completly innocent. The two blondes were ali and ali! and thats what happened when aria whent to the phycic. it said "ALI KILLED ALI" her twin, duhhh!!!! one of them is STILL ALIVE. and idk about jenna or wilden or jason or jenna & ali knoiwing eachother. any ideas??

Posted by miki on January 21, 2010 at 01:26 PM EST #

FINISHED HEARTLESS LAST NIGHT AT 11:30! AHHHHH! (SPOILER) Ok, I have to go do homework, so I can't type out my whole theory, plus I don't really have one. But, I will say this; Billy Ford might have killed Jenna, but not Ali or Leah(If eather one is dead.) I definently don't think he is A, A probably just set him up. I am on the fence about Jason, not sure about Wilden(Probably just a good actor) and NEVER thought Mrs. Hastings killed Ali.(It was just to lead you on. I'v figured you out Sara!) And Iris...? I don't know. Might have killed Ali? I don't know if I believe she is really dead though. Sixty percent of me says she is and 40 percent says she isn't... but I don't know... When Iris said that thing about the girl in the basement I was like, "ALI!!!!!" so ya. I will think it out and post my theory later.... P.S. Amanda. I owe you a sincere appologie. I am sorry. :)

Posted by Justine on January 21, 2010 at 03:20 PM EST #

I used to think Ali was disguised as Jenna... OMG! WAIT! My thoery would still make sense! Because A was like, " Your sister's blood is on your hands..." AHHHHH! Plus she and Jason were FIGHTING! YAY! Some of my old theory makes sense!!!!! Ok. I REALLY HAVE TO GO!

Posted by Justine on January 21, 2010 at 03:23 PM EST #

I think that Ali has a twin and that is what Mr.Hasting ment by "kids". If Ali had killed herself, the paper would have said Ali killed herself instead of "Ali killed Ali". With Jenna being dead, I don't know how that ties into everything else but, I don't think Billy Ford did it, it would be too easy.

Posted by Sarah on January 21, 2010 at 03:36 PM EST #

nice therory sarah :)

Posted by miki on January 21, 2010 at 04:05 PM EST #

i think that Ali had a twin and that maybe the reason noone knew that a twin existed was because she was in that hospital that Jason kept visiting... if this is true im not sure where she is now or which one is actually dead but i think that Ali has a twin and that it is the BIG secret behind the murder.

Posted by Ashley on January 21, 2010 at 04:28 PM EST #

i think so too! and yeah jason wasnt checking him self in as a patient...he was checkinghimself in as a VISITORRR. dundunDUUUUN :) ANYone have good thories?

Posted by miki on January 21, 2010 at 04:56 PM EST #

I think Ali having a twin is a good theory, but I doubt they would have the same name. But do you guys remember all those files A sent Emily a picture of? I feel like Ali is hidden away somewhere. It's a good theory that maybe she's in the basement of the place Hanna was staying at, like Iris said. The "Pretty little liars" seem to be getting pretty desperate and crazy after everything...I feel bad for them even though they're not real...but I want to hear more!

Posted by Hannah on January 21, 2010 at 05:49 PM EST #

definetly think that ali was at that reform place where hannah was, b/c when Emily found the document for Ali and it said this random place, then heard hannah say where she had been and it matched the place on alis document(remember hannah had just said she was in a mental hospital) plus ali used to take these drugs... antidepressants? anyways i think that Iris knew ali then. Plus leah's body was confirmed in the hole by the DNA test, not alis. I dont think ali commited suicide like Aria found out...Wilden said the Dna matched Ali because he didnt want to admit he killed Leah and that was her body. ALI IS ALIVE... AND BILLY FORD IS MAYBE A!!!!!

Posted by caroline <3 on January 21, 2010 at 05:52 PM EST #

im not such a fan of the twin or cloning things, but if ali had a twin, maybe it was fraternal BOY? they already had a son, so maybe they gave the other boy twin. who knows?! so when she was like on the phone saying "hang up loser!' and hannah asked who it was and ali said my stupid brother, she might not have been talking about jason. and her sibling problems, the guy with ther higher voice imitating her? it may not make much sense, but i think that it could be possible :)

Posted by caroline <3 on January 21, 2010 at 05:57 PM EST #

So we still don't know for sure if Ali's dead??? I thought Billy Ford killed her. I was so sad when Jenna died. I hate Iris!!! I wish Wanted was out now. = (

Posted by Kennedy on January 21, 2010 at 06:15 PM EST #

Was Spencer really talking to Ian??? Did Billy really kill Ali??? I was thinking up surprising endings and what if this whole series was a dream from seventh grade when Ali was hypnotizing them. If that happened I would be really disappointed. My new theory is that ,well I don't really have a new theory but I will post it as soon as my brain becomes unscrambled with all of this information. Part of it is that Iris is either Billy's daughter, or Ali's sister.

Posted by Kennedy on January 21, 2010 at 06:35 PM EST #

SPOLIER ALERT!! alright i think that Leah was the one found in the whole. Since the seance im thinking that Ali killed her. I also think Ali was messed up because of the empty pill bottle Aria found and how Jason said "you got it all wrong" when Aria accused him of being a patient at Radley. This might be WAYYY too twisted but maybe Iris is Ali? When hannah first meets her she at first mistakens her for Ali and Iris acts the way I have always imagined Ali would. Im almost certain Ali is still alive because that seems like the big cliff hanger of the series. I dont think Billy killed Jenna and Ali because that ending would be terrrible judging he was never mentioned.

Posted by Elaine on January 21, 2010 at 07:05 PM EST #

iris could totally be alis twin that makes sooooo much sense! i mean they both had the blond hair, queen bee status, mean attitude and stuff. Ali killed ali. it prob meant her twin. plus the other blond... could it be iris? was leah a blond? wanted is out on my bday so itll be an awwesome pressssent :P

Posted by caroline <3 on January 21, 2010 at 07:26 PM EST #

i finished heartless in 4 hrs. so good! i dont think the construction worker did it. Sara Sheperd is too good of an author to make it that obvious. i think maybe someone paid him to kill them. I also think maybe Leah lives in rosewood, or has a new identity or something. and what about iris? i think ali was in the mental hospital with her, and the Jasons name was only in the visitors book, when he would visit ali. And what about Billy Ford again. If he was just a random guy how would he know all that stuff about ian and the night ali died like he told spencer in ims trying to be ian. idk maybe..just random thoughts

Posted by pll lover on January 21, 2010 at 09:08 PM EST #

I really dont think that billy ford killed ali. Also, Iris so has something to do with it. Jason and wilden are NOT innocent, and Iris really could be her twin. Ali is still alive i think, and why would he kill Jenna!!!???? Im so confused about all of their theories, and what happened to Leah? Im really confused. I WANT THE NEXT BOOK TO COME OUT SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!! SARA SHEPARD, PLEASE PLEASE LET IT COME OUT EARLIER! I CAN NOT WAIT THAT LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Madeleine Hamilton on January 21, 2010 at 09:15 PM EST #

Yes it makes sense when they said ali killed ali, her twin!! And i think iris is the twin. I have so many questions!!!! But billy did NOT kill ali, he is such a random person!! But iris is so her twin and i cant wait till wanted comes out!!

Posted by Madeleine Hamilton on January 21, 2010 at 09:19 PM EST #

AMAZING BOOK. i think MELISSA IS A! but ian has to be dead :(

Posted by hi_its_me on January 21, 2010 at 09:27 PM EST #

AMAZING BOOK. i think MELISSA IS A! but ian has to be dead :(

Posted by hi_its_me on January 21, 2010 at 09:28 PM EST #

OMG this was the best book I've ever read in my life!!! I think Iris ties into Ali's murder because when Hanna first looked at her she did a double take thinking it was Ali. I think Ali and Iris are sisters also. I finished this book the day I got it. I was reading it so much thaty mom had to hide it from me so I would do my math homework! I can't wait 'til Wanted comes out!!!! I hope Sara Shepard makes 100 PLL books!!!!

Posted by Biggest PLL Fan EVER!!!!!!! on January 21, 2010 at 09:51 PM EST #

umm no offense i loved all the books but this was the worst all the random twist were just randomly thtrown in there it didnt make sense and this random guy that killed alli we never even saw him before soory but it was not worth the wait

Posted by mickjy on January 22, 2010 at 03:16 PM EST #

OMG OMG OMG!!! i literally just finished the book and i couldnt put it down!!! as soon as i finished i threw the book down and went on this website and looked for when the next book is coming out... does anyone know!?!?! i want Sara Shepard to keep writing these books but faster! i can't wait to read wanted! i'm dying to find out where this story is gonnna go... i didn't suspect anything like this to happen! SARA SHEPARD! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE AUTHOR EVER!

Posted by Sasha aka PPL's biggest fan! on January 22, 2010 at 03:36 PM EST #

Wow all you guys have bomb theorys! i agree with hi_its_me, i think Melissa is A too! Im not sure if the twin thing is right but it does make a lot of sence..Im thinking that the too blonds in the woods were Ali and Melissa..I think the night Ali left the barn and Spencer followed, Ali told Spencer that she had been secretly dating Ian and that Ali had told Ian to kiss Spencer which made Spencer reallu upset so she DID push Ali into the rock..While this was going on Melissa woke up and saw Ian was gone (because they were drinking) So Melissa went to find him and saw Spencer with Ali who was knocked out and bleeding.. So Melissa told Spencer to go back and she would help Ali..Since Melissa was drunk she dumped Ali into the hole! maybe Jenna found her and helpped her? Maybe Melissa payed Billy and his friend to pour the stuff in the hole with Ali in there? I also think Ali and Spencer are twins, it makes sence and yes Widen and Jason as sooo not off the hock!:)

Posted by Izzy on January 22, 2010 at 03:50 PM EST #

heyy spencer was born in april and ali was born in june so they couldnt be twins sorry :( plus spencer was a surrogate from olivia andali was actually born from her mom.

Posted by caroline <3 on January 22, 2010 at 05:16 PM EST #

*Spoiler* I honestly don't believ that Billy Ford is A and the killer. It's just way too random and out of the blue. Ya, he might have killed Jenna...but I don't think that he killed Ali.

Posted by AG on January 22, 2010 at 07:34 PM EST #

Have to wait until next week to get it... :( So dissapointed... :(

Posted by Kylie on January 22, 2010 at 10:16 PM EST #

I AGREE with AG an Mickjy. I think this book was really random and a pointless one that gets you nowhere! Some random dude bein A is such a punk move!!Its gonna take a lot to impress me with this next bookKeep writing SARA.

Posted by jomomma on January 22, 2010 at 10:44 PM EST #

what the heck? you killed off my favorite character! how dare you! i would rather have Melissa be dead than Jenna! Jenna was awesome and I wanted to know how she could draw so well even though she was blind. i seriously thought that she was A. I still want to know the secrets of Iris and Leah Zook. Those were my favorite two scenes because they weren't in Rosewood, but were pretty interesting. What bugged me was that they were suspicious about Wilden and not Jason. Jason seems way more suspicious to me. Also- I really want to know what happened to Ian if he wasn't really IMing Spencer. Is he dead? Sara, please make Wanted good.

Posted by Meghan on January 22, 2010 at 10:59 PM EST #

OMG! okay, I dont think Billy killed Ali or Jenna( but i do think he hurt both of them).I think A blackmailed him Just like a did to the girls. I do believe Emily that Wilden dated the amish girl and possibly killed her (which he and Jason covered up by putting her in the hole). Then I cannot believe Spencer's drama. i dont think spencer and ali are sisters but i do think they are half sisters. hanna also has me thinking that Iris knew ali. I dont exactly understand Aria's saonce thingy because i dont think that was ali's body in the hole So Heres What I think:Alison was in the same place with Iris and she used to tease Ali and make her feel stupid and ugly. This made ali Kill Herself I dont think it was with the pills because i think the pills were for depression or things like that to help her deal with that. Because lets face it she and her brother were having probems, her mother was having an affiar, she was being harrased, and she had a bad friend.

Posted by LALA on January 22, 2010 at 11:10 PM EST #

Omg! didnt Iris say some one was in the basment? ................ could that be Ali.

Posted by LALA on January 22, 2010 at 11:16 PM EST #

When does the last book come out?

Posted by Cameron on January 22, 2010 at 11:20 PM EST #

omg i just finshed heartless and omg what a great yet a really sad ending and i think there is just to many a i just want find who killed ali and omg i just love these books

Posted by rubi on January 23, 2010 at 12:58 AM EST #

remember how all of a sudden "ali" dumped her previous friends then all of a sudden became friends with spencer aria hanna and emily? maybe if ali did have a twin they might have switched places cuz one of them was in trouble cuz that would make sence with why she just stopped being friends with her old friends.

Posted by Rebecca on January 23, 2010 at 04:50 AM EST #

What happened was this: There is Ali and there is Ali's secret crazy twin, Iris. Iris lives at different mental hospitals. When Iris wasn't living in a mental hospital she would try to be Ali and hang out with her friends and stuff which explains why Ali's shirt changed that one time after her mom yelled at her, and her mood swings. It also explains the slashed out I on Ali's flag piece. It ALSO explains why Spencer's dad said the kidS, not the kid. One day, Ali freaked out on Iris trying to become her and she killed her. Thus, the two blondes Ian saw in the woods. The girl in the hole was Iris, not Ali, which is why the DNA results came up positive. Then, Ali’s parents, thinking that Ali not Iris was dead, sent Ali to the Preserve, thinking she was Iris. This explains why ‘Iris’ seemed hurt when Hanna said Ali deserved what happened to her. It also explains why the psychic said Ali killed Ali.

Posted by allison on January 23, 2010 at 03:05 PM EST #

ok first off, i dont think billy killed ali. he was basically never a big part of the series and too random to be ali's killer. i think that somehow, A framed him(assuming that hes not A either). Also, i really really think that ali has a twin. thats what mr hastings was refurring to when he said kids and not kid. And that would explain the 'Ali killed Ali' note. Also, i think that ali was the one at the mental hospital. the signs are all there. theres the name of it on the document that A texted to emily, theres the pills that she was taking, maybe antidepressants, theres the portrait of her in the secret room and the fact that one of the girls mentioned that ali once had just not contacted them for two weeks when she went 'on vacation'. two weeks was exactly how long hanna was admitted.

Posted by PLLOBSESSED[: on January 23, 2010 at 04:26 PM EST #

Spoiler: I agree with you, PLLOBSESSOR, but i dont think Iris is A, because they aren;t allowed cellphones at the Preserve and A sends them texts and stuff..I think Courtney, who Iris mentioned as being depressed and had 'bigger issues', was Ali. And then her and Ali got into a fight, which resulted in Ali being caught in the woods by the pretty little liars

Posted by ohemgitsal on January 23, 2010 at 04:36 PM EST #

LALA, that could be Ali! I was thinking the same thing. How weird. Maybe Iris locked her in the basement

Posted by ohemgitsal on January 23, 2010 at 04:38 PM EST #

ChloeAndy thats a really good explanation. That makes a LOT of sense. Especially when Hanna says she had mistaken 'Iris' for Ali. That's why 'Iris' knew what was on the flag and when she drew it on the wall. It was really Ali the whole time. Makes soo much sense. And in Hannas dream when Ali says "Don't let her hurt you like she hurt me" she means not to trust 'Iris'.

Posted by ohemgitsal on January 23, 2010 at 04:41 PM EST #

Do you guys remember how in the last book, Jason DiLaurentis didn't sign in as a PATIENT at the Radley..but as a VISITOR?! He was VISITING someone at the Radley. And when Aria accuses him of being a patient at the Radley, Jason says "You have it all wrong!" So maybe he meant that ALI was the one in the Radley, and he was just VISITING her. It makes a lot of sense...

Posted by ohemgitsal on January 23, 2010 at 04:46 PM EST #

What if by kids he just meant Spencer and Ali meaning he was saying that he didn't know the kids were sisters............. Comments Anyone

Posted by Alexis on January 23, 2010 at 04:46 PM EST #

Oh yeah, also...Iris was said to have gone to alot of mental hospitals. Maybe she went to the Radley, and thats how her and Ali met

Posted by ohemgitsal on January 23, 2010 at 04:47 PM EST #

i can not believe jenna died!! i was not expecting that ending at all... i wanna know if ali really is dead or not. there better be another book ASAP.

Posted by that one girl on January 23, 2010 at 05:56 PM EST #

I also think that a movie company should get ahold of these books and make a movie out of them or movieS. anyone agree? that'd be awesome!!

Posted by that one girl on January 23, 2010 at 06:00 PM EST #

when does wanted come out?

Posted by that one girl on January 23, 2010 at 06:03 PM EST #

@that one girl : PLL will already be a tv series !

Posted by PLLfans on January 23, 2010 at 06:53 PM EST #

i think ali went to a mentol hospitol and met irus but thats it they could of been friends or whatever but i dont thind her character is very important cause shes gonna be stuck in the place. i think ali killed ali means she hilled her self...it said that guy was stalking ali and that could of made ali mad (thats probally y she wanted the blinds down when she was trying to hiptnizze them) i think she felt like her "pirfict" like was slipping out of her conteol and she couldnt takke it and more anddd.......dicided to throw herself in the hole but i also think that the other blond said something to her b4 she did it that really really pushed her (i dont think she has a twin anymore)wooooow i wrote alot!!! tell meeee whatcha think!!!!????

Posted by Alyssa on January 23, 2010 at 07:19 PM EST #

so this is my new and improved theory after reading Heartless!!:) Ali had a mental illness and was depressed, and so she went to the Preserve at Addison-Stevens for treatment!! Remember when Emily couldn't contact Ali for 2 weeks and her PHONE went straight to voicemail?? ALI WAS AT THE PRESERVE, WHERE SHE MET IRIS!!! (They aren't allowed to have phones there remember?!) And guys, this theory is RIGHT because i did the live tweet with sara and she said "Sneaky sneaky emm615..." when i wrote that to her!!;) I also said that i thought that IRIS had been in the picture with Ali and Jenna that A sent to Emily, and she told me that i was getting warmer!!!! So i think that IRIS AND ALI WERE TWINS, and that's what Mr. Hastings meant when he said the KIDS, AND NOT KID!! IRIS IS HIS OTHER DAUGHTER WITH ALI'S MOM, I KNOW IT!!

Posted by Emily <33 on January 23, 2010 at 07:23 PM EST #

CONTINUED-If you think about it, it makes sense!! Before Heartless came out, we thought that Ali had a twin, so Iris could be it!! I think that Ali hated Iris cuz she was mean to her and teased her, and pretended to be her sometimes (like the time when "Ali" came downstairs after talking to her mom and was in a different shirt!) It explains the I with a slash through it on her flag also!!

Posted by Emily <33 on January 23, 2010 at 07:27 PM EST #

And if Ali had mental problems, Iris probably did too if they were twins!! That would explain why Iris was also in the Preserve, because she and Ali both had problems!!

Posted by Emily <33 on January 23, 2010 at 07:31 PM EST #

OMG! how can Ali kill Ali??? Was it true?? or did the amish girl get killed?? is Ali still alive?? what the heck is up with Iris??? WHO IS A??? so many questions! cant wait till the next book!!

Posted by Maddie on January 23, 2010 at 07:34 PM EST #

OH YEAH, LMAO SORRY, BUT THAT WAS THE SIBLING PROBLEMS JENNA MEANT!!!! IRIS AND ALI HAD SIBLING PROBLEMS, NOT JASON AND ALI!!! AND SINCE I THINK THAT THAT WAS DEFINITELY IRIS IN THE PICTURE WITH ALI AND JENNA, JENNA KNEW IRIS AND KNEW ABOUT THE SIB PROBLEMS CUZ SHE WAS FRIENDS WITH THEM!!!

Posted by Emily <33 on January 23, 2010 at 07:36 PM EST #

LOVED Heartless! But I have one question, did it ever mention in the books what Spencer's dad's job was? Cuz if he was a medical person, then he would probably be Iris' dad too, like Ali.

Posted by Ally on January 23, 2010 at 09:03 PM EST #

ChloeAndy i totally agree with your theory. it fits in perfectly.. i can definitely imagine thats gonna happen. but what was the deal with leah zook?? and how did iris/ali escape the preserve and get to the woods in the last book? WAIT but then who is the girl in the basement of the preserve? initially i thought that was ali. that seems very important. i was about to rip my book up when i thought melissa died. and who is A and how did they get to the police headquarters? that billy guy is a fake and def not the killer. i like how A sends them into 4 totally contradictory theories about the killer, when ali is STILL ALIVE

Posted by hanna on January 23, 2010 at 09:20 PM EST #

but why did jenna have to die? and who killed her??? and why would iris send all the info to the magazines i honestly dont get it. this book answered 1 thing and gave 43895 more questions. im glad they finally said that ali is spencers sister. and its very suspicious that leah zook died 1 day before ali "died." or maybe my earlier post is all wrong and ali still is in the basement of the preserve and went to the woods that night because someone gave her a note? first of all we need to figure out who A is once and for all and who gave ali that note. and who is pretending to be ian. sara has made every single character look guilty so far so who is the only one left??

Posted by hanna on January 23, 2010 at 09:24 PM EST #

ok last comment but did anyone else find it creepy that the girls smelled ali's vanilla soap all the time? how can that possibly be explained. even from the hole in her backyard it came out. again i really like the iris ali twin thing, especially when ali said "i just cant take her anymore" in a flashback. and ali got green contacts or something. but this billy stuff doesnt make sense especially his demeanor at the end of the book, creepy.

Posted by hanna on January 23, 2010 at 09:29 PM EST #

Wow, Sara, you've outdone yourself. No wonder this book took you so long, you had to think up of plots for every Pretty Little Liar. I think there's still something going on with Leah and Wilden, and also I believe the Iris/Ali thing. Either Iris is dead or Ali is dead or Leah is dead. The body in the ditch has got to be one of those three. The gold tooth guy probably did kill Jenna but maybe he only harassed Ali/Iris. I don't think the body in the ditch is Ali though... This is so confusing, Sara, you have to promise me that you're going to explain everything, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING, in Wanted. Come on, it'll be the last book!

Posted by Julie T. on January 23, 2010 at 09:51 PM EST #

I agree with ChloeAndy. Its explains pretty much everything and its really smart. But I also think that it could have been Iris in that picture. But would that mean Jenna knew about Ali and Iris? Maybe thats why someone killed her. Maybe to keep her quiet? Cause I think she knew something I am just not sure what. But what does anyone think about Ian. Dead or not? When does the next book come out? And is it really going to be a tv series?

Posted by Courtney on January 23, 2010 at 10:00 PM EST #

Oh and I think when Ali said she had sibling problems she meant with Iris...not with Jason.

Posted by Courtney on January 23, 2010 at 10:20 PM EST #

IRIS AND ALI ARE SOOOOOO TWINS! iris killed ali but like wouldnt the parents know! thats what ali killed ali meant! and thats why iris is in a mental hospital! THEY ALL KNOW AND THATS WHAT JASON AND WILDIN ARE HIDDING!! iris set that guy up!! he knows though! and i think iris is going to kill.............

Posted by Maddie!! on January 23, 2010 at 10:43 PM EST #

whats the deal now?? iris has a vanilla air freshener in her room... looks like ali.. knew the well skecth, theres a crossed out i on ali's flag piece. she mentioned the girl in the basement. so is iris alis twin, ali herself, alis killer, or just ali/courtneys roommate??

Posted by hhhh on January 23, 2010 at 11:52 PM EST #

emily<3<3 i think your theory is just about perfect it is probably the most likely one i have read so far and i was leaning that way as well but im still lost on all the other different twists in the book lol

Posted by kayti on January 24, 2010 at 09:34 AM EST #

So if Iris and Ali are twins it probably Iris who was sooooo mean to the girls! It all adds up! But some one else has to know so why isnt anyone telling??

Posted by Maddie!! on January 24, 2010 at 10:14 AM EST #

The next book WANTED comes out June 29, 2010! CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Madilyn on January 24, 2010 at 10:24 AM EST #

k this is my theory. i think that alis parents and spencers parents went to the same college and met. mr.hastings and mrs.dilaurentis had a thing for each other but so did mr.hastings an mrs.hasting so he got both of them pregnant. but mrs.hastings didnt know so and mrs.dlourentis covered it p saying it was mr.d's kid. so mr.h didnt know it was his kid. then years later mrs.d and mr.h still had a thing for each other so mrs.d purposly moved there to be with him. and then she told him about the kid and or should i say kids ali has a twin and her twin is iris. so when ali said ali killed ali she ment iris. please comment!

Posted by KASSIDY on January 24, 2010 at 11:56 AM EST #

OMG! I haven't read heartless yet but after reading some of the non- spoiler comments I just have to read it soon! I loved all the other books in the series so... this one should be great!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Suzie on January 24, 2010 at 01:02 PM EST #

I read the book in a matter of hours! The series is incredible. Im totally in love with it. It sucks that Wanted isn't being released until June. I guess I will have to wait. There are so many icredible theories. I especially like Sarah's :) I guess the only thing to do is wait and find out! This is all so intense!

Posted by Asia on January 24, 2010 at 01:34 PM EST #

Even though Wanted is being released in june, you know some people are gonna get it early again. :)

Posted by Alexis on January 24, 2010 at 04:35 PM EST #

Bomb theory's everyone! I haven't finished Heartless yet because of my exam prepsss but i'm still wondering if Spencer and Ali are sisters? After someone said that there birthdays are different and stuff i'm guessing there not but who knows , parents do lie , and especially in these bookssss:) I hate when they bring in new characters every book , it bugs me sooo much! Like with this Iris chicka and Leah Zook? if they were so important wouldn't they be in every other book too? It just makes sence that whoever turns out to be A or Ali's killer is most likely someone who has been in either all books or almost all. Anyone else agree with that? Emily <33 your theory's do make a lot of sence , prob the one that made the most sence:)

Posted by Izzy on January 24, 2010 at 05:02 PM EST #

bonjour! j'aime le theory de Kassidy. Je ne comprends pas anglais, alors je regrette. J'ai lu cette livres tres rapides! je leur aime! je pense peut-etre Ali a un jumeaux... Iris? Heartless a ete tres bon Sara! je t'adore beaucoup aussi! malheuresment, je vais attendre pour Wanted. Au revoir mes amis! Ce mes livres favoris!

Posted by une chaud fille on January 24, 2010 at 05:48 PM EST #

thankss kayti and Izzy!! I want WANTED sooo bad!! Sara said that it has TONS of A and I need to have everything explained!! Again, this is my new and improved theory after reading Heartless!!:) Ali had a mental illness and was depressed, and so she went to the Preserve at Addison-Stevens for treatment!! Remember when Emily couldn't contact Ali for 2 weeks and her PHONE went straight to voicemail?? ALI WAS AT THE PRESERVE, WHERE SHE WAS WITH IRIS!!! (They aren't allowed to have phones there remember?!) And guys, this theory is RIGHT because i did the live tweet with sara and she said "Sneaky sneaky emm615..." when i wrote that to her!!;) I also said that i thought that IRIS had been in the picture with Ali and Jenna that A sent to Emily, and she told me that i was getting warmer!!!! So i think that IRIS AND ALI WERE TWINS, and that's what Mr. Hastings meant when he said the KIDS, AND NOT KID!! IRIS IS ALI'S TWIN AND THEIR OTHER DAUGHTER!!

Posted by Emily <33 on January 24, 2010 at 06:46 PM EST #

If you think about it, it makes sense!! Before Heartless came out, we thought that Ali had a twin, so Iris could be it!! I think that Ali hated Iris cuz she was mean to her and teased her (like the time when the girls were trying to steal Ali's time capsule flag and heard someone mimicking Ali!), and pretended to be her sometimes (like the time when "Ali" came downstairs after talking to her mom and was in a different shirt!) It explains the I with a slash through it on her flag also!! (IRIS!) And if Ali had mental problems, Iris probably did too if they were twins!! (Those things run in families a lot) That would explain why Iris was also in the Preserve, because she and Ali both had problems of some sort!! I also think that Jason was just signing into the Radley as a VISITOR, not PATIENT!! He told Emily that she had it all wrong, and that could be it!!

Posted by Emily <33 on January 24, 2010 at 06:47 PM EST #

Emily <33 i agree with everything you said that iris is ali's twin.. and the girl she said was her roommate, courtney, is really ali. but when she flinched after hanna said ali deserved to die it made me seem like iris is actually ali... and she has the vanilla air freshener stuff in her room. and also she mentioned someone is staying in the basement, i feel like that could be ali there or something important or else she wouldnt mention it. and something else, kate is suspicious because she said she met the school psychologist.. i just think thats fishy and maybe somethings wrong with her too.

Posted by spencer on January 24, 2010 at 07:28 PM EST #

good theories emily

Posted by KASSIDY on January 24, 2010 at 07:28 PM EST #

hey guys ok i have another theory. ok so i think the dilaurentis' liked ali more, and both the girls needed treatment. They put ali in the nicer mental hospital, the preserve at addison stevens, and put iris in the not so nice one... the radley. jason didnt think tthis was fair that iris got treated so poorly so he went and visited her (that is why his signatures were in the radley book) however, after ali died, iris got moved to the preserve A+S. thats why jason's signatures stopped at the radley after ali died cuz iris wasn't there anymore! im not sure, its just an idea.... great ideas to guys!

WHEN DOES THE NEXT ONE COME OUT ?!

Posted by Annabel on January 24, 2010 at 07:51 PM EST #

the next book comes out June 29, 2010!!!

Posted by Alyssa on January 24, 2010 at 08:15 PM EST #

Thanks Spencer & KASSIDY!! ;) Spencer-That's another good thing that you pointed out about Kate!! She DID meet the school psychologist and suck up to him, and she could've written that letter and posed as him in it!! Kate does NOT seem like she's Hanna's friend! I really think that somethings up with her also!! I reallyyy believe that Iris and Ali are twins, it makes sooo much sense and fits in with everything!! And why would A send Hanna to the Preserve if there was nothing important for her to find out there? A sent Emily to Lancaster and she found out something huge about Wilden and Leah Zook, so there must have been something big to find out in the Preserve!!

Posted by Emily <33 on January 24, 2010 at 09:06 PM EST #

I don't think that Iris herself IS Ali though...Hanna would've recognized her or noticed something odd about her. I think that she seemed hurt when Hanna said that because it was her sister, so naturally someone would be hurt to hear that their sibling deserved to die...I do agree about Courtney actually being Ali though because she said that she was the grand dame of the place, which was how Ali was in Rosewood also!! And she seemed a little obsessed with her and hesitant about when she left and stuff, so that's definitely a possibility!!:) But the vanilla air freshener wishing well drawing is really strange...maybe the wishing well was like some thing that they had together? And I find it REALLY weird that when ALi was hypnotizing them, they were in a wishing well!!!!

Posted by Emily <33 on January 24, 2010 at 09:09 PM EST #

hey guys! i must say these books are ah-maze-ing!!! i read the first book in a day and the rest in two or three!! Heartless was liget , i found it really short compared to all the others thoughhhh. I believe that Melissa is A and that Billy Ford didn't kill Ali or Jenna and that Iris and Ali are sista's. I actually don't think i can wait till June for Wanted , i have wayyy to manyyy questionsss that have to be answered! Im really confused about that "Ali killed Ali" thing? I myself do not think Ali is dead but maybe Widen did something to cover up killing his girlfriend? I bet what that means is they think Ali killed herself because if it had to do with twins , twins don't have the same name. Peace(:

Posted by Kenzie on January 24, 2010 at 09:17 PM EST #

Wow Emily <33 , your theroys are really good! I havent finished the book yet but it does sound weird that Kate went to the school psychologist. Remeber how she was on the phone with someone and Hanna heard her saying odd stuff? Maybe she went to the psychologist because she doesn't feel axcepted? or wants to be friends with Hanna but it doesn't seem Hanna wants to be her friend? or shes pulling the "guilt trip" with Hanna's dad so he wanted her to go there even though she didn't need it? and Kenzie , your right , i don't think the Ali killed Ali thing had to do with Iris being her twin , think it had to do with them thinking Ali killed herself as well:)

Posted by Izzy on January 24, 2010 at 09:28 PM EST #

i really think that ali had a twin it would make so much sence.. ali killed ali.. and i really dont want this to become a movie or tv series.. it would def ruin it for me! but so excited for the next book to come out!

Posted by L_P_13 on January 24, 2010 at 09:48 PM EST #

hey does anyone agree with my theory? plz comment i wanna know!

Posted by caroline <3 on January 24, 2010 at 10:38 PM EST #

btw my theory is just as good as emily <33

Posted by caroline <3 on January 24, 2010 at 10:39 PM EST #

who thinks that A paid the seance lady? spencer said she noticed her around the town before so maybe. maybe ali changed identities and turned into courtney. and now shes livin in the basement at the preserve

Posted by jayy on January 24, 2010 at 10:50 PM EST #

I freaked out over heartless its amazing and im dying to read wanted. Am I the only one who finds something odly attractive about Wilden despite his shadiness...?

Posted by kittykat12 on January 24, 2010 at 10:58 PM EST #

I wuz the first ta post that courtney was Ali and u guys just ignored my good theory. But when somebody else says it (not namin names) peeps think it's a good idea.but it's whatever.Dnt respond to this I am not mad or blamin anyone just saying.......ok um I think that the reason iris had a vanillia air freshner is because Ali(Courtney)left it behind when iris ran her out of there.That's what Ali meant in hannas dream when she said she's gonna hurt me like she hurt you.look at my other theories

Posted by Alexis on January 25, 2010 at 01:48 AM EST #

heyy alexis ik what you mean~ i was one of the first to suggest maybe iris and ali were twins but no one believed me either! its ok just saying. yeah thats sso goood maybe courtney was ali cuz apparently ali was like the leader there. plus nice idea about the air freshner ;)

Posted by caroline <3 on January 25, 2010 at 11:21 AM EST #

guys don't get mad at each other because we didn't comment on your theorys yet! a lot of people just finished Heartless and are trying to get there theorys acrossed before they answer others! Alexis , your theory about Courtney is really good! i would believe that! and caroline <3 , i think Iris and Ali are twins , or at least sisters , what i ment by the ali killed ali thing was just that twins don't have the same names , so ali killed ali doesn't really make sence because twins don't have the same names , or in this case , it's Ali and Iris so it can't be Ali killed Ali if her name is Iris! But it might make sence being that there twins so it was just easyer to say Ali killed Ali...I don't know good theorys though guys

Posted by Izzy on January 25, 2010 at 11:36 AM EST #

OMG best book ye, but i dont get why the girls were arrested. I NEED to know more about IRis and leah. is leah dead and why is iris such a witch? OMG SpoilER ALERT why would billy ford kill jenna and Ali. And who is A. I wonder when merideth will have the baby. Is Jason related to spencer too. OMG can't wait till Wanted. When does it come out?

Posted by jenny : ) on January 25, 2010 at 03:38 PM EST #

hey shes allowed to say whatever she wants, and if u agree tell her, but if you dont just ignore it. ali couldn't be iris b/c it clearly said iris had more pointy features than ali did. iris probably knew about hannah already from courtney(if she was ali) and courtney prob left the vanilla air freshner in the room. peace out peeps.

Posted by caroline <3 on January 25, 2010 at 04:16 PM EST #

okay so i finished Heartless a bit ago and im going crazy without knowing what is going on! did ali have a twin, who was actually in the mental institue, what is really up with Wilden and Jason, and what actually happened with spences dad and alis mom. how many more books are there?!

Posted by Alexis on January 25, 2010 at 05:12 PM EST #

ok everyone lets all get along :) its not possible to read or remember everyone's theories so lets just join in and add onto everyones. like caroline said, iris' features are sharper, so it seems like she's ali's twin and courtney(whos really ali) was her roommate. or maybe shes not related at all to ali, because iris mentioned the girl in the basement, and im realllllly thinking thats ali. like 100%. and shes there hiding out because she wanted to run away and she "killed" herself(like the seance lady said) because she wanted to run away from iris. maybe she needed to get away and wanted everyone to think shes dead. or something like that!

Posted by spencer on January 25, 2010 at 05:49 PM EST #

Hmm good theory

Posted by Alexis on January 25, 2010 at 05:58 PM EST #

hey alexis and spencer i totally wanna get along too! no hard feelings to anyone! remember: NO ONES THEORIES ARE BETTER, OR MORE ACCURATE THAN EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHATS ACTUALLY GONNA HAPPENEN!!!!!!! That is yet.... cant wait for wwanted!

Posted by caroline <3 on January 25, 2010 at 06:07 PM EST #

Exactly! Good we are all cool then. I can't wait till wanted either....A's little notes at the back of the book in the what happens next section never help me how bout you?

Posted by Alexis on January 25, 2010 at 06:17 PM EST #

Alexis same here the never help me! but this one i think made it clear that billy ford is definitely not A!

Posted by spencer on January 25, 2010 at 06:43 PM EST #

haha not really! there just kinda like an overview of the book. except in heartless it said i mite be billy ford and i may not! the books are awesome though! i think sara shepard should write a prequel about like 6th and 7th grade for the girls!

Posted by caroline <3 on January 25, 2010 at 06:43 PM EST #

heyy spencer we posted at the same time. lol!

Posted by caroline <3 on January 25, 2010 at 06:44 PM EST #

Spoiler alert: I loooved Heartless! Here are my theories...I think that Billy isn't A. Also, I think Jason signed into the mental hospital as a visiter, not a patient. And maybe the symbols on the flag mean something more than it looks like. Maybe all the letters on it are a scrambled form of the murderer's name. I can't wait for the next book to come out!!!

Posted by Anna on January 25, 2010 at 06:54 PM EST #

Yea I do think there is more to that flag.

Posted by Alexis on January 25, 2010 at 07:01 PM EST #

Yea Billy was just a random character.I wonder what his significance is if he has one.like who does he know or is related to.

Posted by Alexis on January 25, 2010 at 07:12 PM EST #

the letters on the flag! thats so good. well there an i/j, "c", and an "l" and a "v". hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... btw nice theory ANNA!

Posted by caroline <3 on January 25, 2010 at 07:38 PM EST #

Hmmmmm indeed

Posted by Alexis on January 25, 2010 at 07:40 PM EST #

iris definately knew ali because when hanna asked her how she knew ali she just giggled and teased her.......i dont think sara would make the killer that simple after all these books

Posted by sabrina on January 25, 2010 at 08:37 PM EST #

sabrina, a agree that it wouldnt be that simple. i think that iris is ali's twin because throughout all the books she made hints suggesting that she had a twin. im not sure she would be the killer though, since i am lik 99% sure ali is still alive. isnt it funny how everyones trying to find the killer but we all kinda know shes alive?

Posted by spencer on January 25, 2010 at 08:42 PM EST #

hey guys heres a topic we should all comment on: that text A sent to emily said "WE BOTH KNOW SHE'S(AS IN ALI) IS ALIVE. WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO PROVE IT?" hmmmmm let me know ur thoughts

Posted by caroline <3 on January 25, 2010 at 08:55 PM EST #

oh my god yeaa! Anna thats a bomb idea! maybe all the letters on the flag are scrambled up and spell a name or something! or an instatution that Ali stayed at and didn't like? or letters of people she didn't like? I'm not sure but awesome idea Anna! And im glad everyone is getting along now :) very good! i miss Mona though:( she was my favorite! her and Hanna were awesome together! wish she would come back:(anyway , i still think Melissa is A :)

Posted by Izzy on January 25, 2010 at 08:57 PM EST #

the letters, like i say previously are: l,v,c, and i/j. someone let me............... no!....................................................................................................................... livc...vilc.........it can almost spell "EVIL."

Posted by caroline <3 on January 25, 2010 at 11:22 PM EST #

ok I have this theory. Does anyone thing that ali might be a Sociopath?(google it if you dont know what its is :) ) She fits the profile perfectly. She can charm anyone, she's a awesome manipulator, doesn't seem to feel guilt about anything or any other deep emotion. That would explain why she might have had a relationship with her brother because no normal person would. Oh, and Sara, God, the Spencer and Ali sister thing was so obvious. Come on. Sort of disappointed. Seems like your going to wait till the last book to tell us the truth because this one was complete B.S :D

Posted by Leticia on January 26, 2010 at 11:12 AM EST #

to add to my other sociopath theory comment look at this description of a sociopath " sociopaths typically exhibit what is generally considered to be irresponsible and unreliable behavior; their attributes include egocentrism, an inability to form lasting personal commitments and a marked degree of impulsivity. Underlying a superficial veneer of sociability and charm, sociopaths are characterized by a deficit of the social emotions (love, shame, guilt, empathy, and remorse). On the other hand, they are not intellectually handicapped, and are often able to deceive and manipulate others through elaborate scams " if this does not describe Ali perfectly, then i don't know what does.

Posted by Justine on January 26, 2010 at 04:14 PM EST #

I think Ali definitely had a twin. Still not sure if it's Iris or not, but everyone has great theories! There was a point (I believe in Killer) when Emily and Maya were looking at the yearbook spread for Ali. Maya asked about a picture, saying it didn't look like Ali, and it was glossed over because Emily was annoyed with her. I think that, along with a lot of the other evidence mentioned here make a good case for it.

Posted by Sarah on January 26, 2010 at 04:20 PM EST #

Alright... I am not saying I 100% believe this, and it isn't in my theory... yet.(Spoiler) So I have heard a lot of you think that Ali has a twin... and at first I believe about 20% that might be plausible... but now?! Mr. Hastings said,"I didn't know about the kidSSSSS until after. It wouldn't really make sense if he had an affair with Mrs. Dilaurentis, had Jason, then 5 years later had another affair with her and had Ali. Plausible? Yes. Likely? 60%. But I don't know... Guess we'll just have to see!

Posted by Justine on January 26, 2010 at 04:24 PM EST #

Sarah! That totally makes sense! And, in that picture Emily got with Ali and Jenna they thought it was Naomi or Riley who was hidden by the tree? Maybe it was her twin Iris! And Iris said that thing about the girl whos parents didn't come back and was still in the basement? Plus she was in and out of hospitals, Hanna thought she was Ali at first, AND Iris knew what Ali looked like! Maybe Ali's parents were embarrassed of her. Or maybe Ali said something about Iris wanting to hurt her so her parents made her go to the hopsital. Then, after she disappeared her parents knew Iris did it so they sent her away so they wouldn't have to lose BOTH daughters! Sorry! Just popped into my head and I decided to share that with you!

Posted by Justine on January 26, 2010 at 04:37 PM EST #

Lucy Mioore! One more book,"Wanted", June 29!

Posted by Justine on January 26, 2010 at 04:38 PM EST #

Wiat, Sarah, what do you mean,"Maya asked about a picture, saying it didn't look like Ali, and it was glossed over because Emily was annoyed with her."? I don't really remember it and am confused by the,"glossed over because Emily was annoyed with her" part.

Posted by Justine on January 26, 2010 at 04:41 PM EST #

iris knows ali def, cuz she was teasing hannahkins about it. they were either roomies, or twins. ugh idk!!!

Posted by caroline <3 on January 26, 2010 at 04:48 PM EST #

Justine i think she meant when there was a picture of ali but upon further looking at it, she actually looked scared and afraid, nothing like the real ali. well atleast thats what i think she means haha. and i definitely think the girl in the basement is still ali. Sarah that was a really good point to bring up

Posted by spencer on January 26, 2010 at 06:09 PM EST #

what if a just hired esmeralda (the ali/seance lady).... spencer did say she had seen her(esmeralda) around town before.......eee

Posted by caroline <3 on January 26, 2010 at 08:23 PM EST #

i read and finished the book the same day it came out!!! I could not put it down i went to get the book before it was on the shelves! i love these books i just want to know whats going on i dont think that guy is A. I think emily's story is true but why Jenna??? cant wait for the nexxtt book! <3

Posted by Hadassah Francis on January 26, 2010 at 08:39 PM EST #

caroline i agree i think the seance lady was fake and just a way to confuse the girls even more. but that doesnt mean that the ali killed ali thing isnt true, it probably is just not in the way we are thinking. i think we should try to figure out who a is now

Posted by spencer on January 26, 2010 at 08:45 PM EST #

yea i totally agree with the ali killed ali and a part. the logical part would be that ali commited suicide, but everyon thinks it means alis twin killed ali. that makes sense. i have this other theory, and its kinda out there, but if you rearrange the letters in ali, u get lia. lia killed ali. you pronounce leah(like leah zook) lia, so maybe leah was the killer b/c wilden and ali had a secret relationship (ew). i just think sara wouldnt make that ali killed ali so obvious....

Posted by caroline <3 on January 26, 2010 at 10:32 PM EST #

another thing i noticed was that they didnt really tell u iris's last name did they or even tell u much about her life......

Posted by sabrina on January 26, 2010 at 10:57 PM EST #

OMG leticia i completely agree!! I looked up what it ment and i fit ali PERFECTLY! Like in the deffanition it even talked about how the people tend to change identaties and make up life stories(iris,courtny?) Also going along with the twin theory anyone remember how ali said her flag had a manga frog on it but there wasnt one AT ALL! could be part of the twin switching identity thing.Also that night when they tried to steal the flag and she was talking to them but kept looking back at the house worriedly like she was afraid someone was gonna walk out(again iris?) anyway yeaa just some points:)

Posted by ally on January 26, 2010 at 11:30 PM EST #

The twin thing fits so well! It would explain why Jason was at the mental hospital and why he told Aria that she didn't understand when she told the cops that Jason was insane. It also explains how "Ali killed Ali" in Aria's note.

Posted by Kate on January 27, 2010 at 12:50 AM EST #

Sorry, I should have been more clear about that Justine. Emily was annoyed with Maya while the scene was taking place. I believe the picture was her official school picture, like the one you give to parents and relatives and stuff. Maya pointed out that the picture didn't look like Ali, and Emily just responded, "Of course it's Ali" or something like that, without really taking the time to really look at the picture. I have a feeling that Maya might have noticed something that everyone overlooked, and that the picture was NOT Ali's picture, but actually her twin's picture. What I meant about it being glossed over, was that it was just a brief mention, they didn't have much of a conversation about it before they moved on. It was one of the first things that made me think that Ali definitely had a twin.

Posted by Sarah on January 27, 2010 at 12:36 PM EST #

Hey girls! I just got heartless and haven't gotten too far yet. It is so confusing! Anyways join the facebook page rip Alison dilaurentis! Like I said o haven't gotten too far yet so I still don't know if Ali is dead or not! :)

Posted by Millie on January 27, 2010 at 01:52 PM EST #

I think that Ali is still alive and Iris is her twin. I think Courtney who iris always talked about was actually ali and leah is the one in the whole. I think something bad happened and ali had to run away with jason and wilden helped her escape and ali is living with jason. jason was checked in at the mental hospital cuz he was visiting iris and ali's papers were because she stayed with iris as "courtney"?? i dont think ford is A either.. theres no way a stranger could no that much about them especially about spencers dad and ali's mom and their kids together, or wilden and leah.

Posted by christina on January 27, 2010 at 03:39 PM EST #

After reading all the comments and read heartless and finding out spenc and ali was sisters. I don't know if this is right but maybe. I got 2 theroys are Ali having a twin. In the note the pshy person gave aria it said Ali Killed Ali. Well maybe Spencer and Ali are twins and the night ali and her fought maybe spencer dont remember all of it yet and when she pushed ali and hurt her maybe spencer knocked her in the hole? Maybe just an idea. My next theroy could be that Ali is alive but also has a twin who is iris. She just comes off as her twin to much. Or ali could be dead and iris was her twin and she was so crazy spence dad and alis mom put her in the mental ward like iris said her dad put her there and stop seeing her. Idk just an idea to think about. It made me think to when Mr. Hasting said kids instead of kid!

Posted by Erica on January 27, 2010 at 03:43 PM EST #

I agree with Sarah about the pic of Ali not looking like her but actually being her twin...and if so how would Maya be able to tell if it looked like Ali or not she barely jnew her... Unless u know how Maya said she was from California and Ali said to Emily that she always wanted to run away to somewhere.what if she ran away to Cali and met Maya and that's how Maya knows so much about Ali and how she could relate to Jenna. I know these are old points but sarahs comment reminded me of this old theory.

Posted by Alexis on January 27, 2010 at 05:05 PM EST #

spencer and ali are not twins. I REAPEAT NOT. Sara says spencer is born in APRIL. and she says ali is born in JUNE. therefore they arre not twins @erica!

Posted by caroline <3 on January 27, 2010 at 05:17 PM EST #

This book was AWESOME! I don't think Ali has a twin I think that Iris is Ali and she is A also trying to get revenge on the girls because she was always jealous of them. At the cemetary when Jason told Aria she has it all wrong I think he meant that he wasn't the one with the mental problems. I don't think he ever went to the Radley place or whatever I think Ali signed his name. I also think that Wilden killed Lucy and Jenna and Toby Cavanaugh.

Posted by Brittany on January 27, 2010 at 05:47 PM EST #

i loved heartless i finished it yesterday! but i am skeptical about a few things. one, ali is not dead. and billy ford did not kill her, and he isnt a. it wouldnt make any sense at all. it has to be wilden, or jason!!

Posted by Jasmine on January 27, 2010 at 06:10 PM EST #

soooo does anyone else think it's weird that Maya hasn't been in the book lately? wth happened to her? well i finished the book within the first couple hours of buying it and I cannot wait for the next one! I really wanna know what Leah Zook and Iris' deal is..*SPOILER* Billy ford is deff not the killer, it wouldn't make sense for someone completely random to be the killer...and most importantly why was Jenna killed? What did she know that made her dangerous to A? And the flip is A?! Idk what melissa's deal is either, she seems very bipolar. Spencer's whole family seems like a wackjob. I honestly don't know what's going to happen but you can guarantee that I will be getting the wanted book on June 29th ;) and ewww a tv series? It's gonna turn out to be equally as crappy as gossip girls, another series I love. Toooots :)

Posted by Karen:) on January 27, 2010 at 06:18 PM EST #

Yea I dnt think Ali and Spencer are twins but I think ur on the right track with her havin ali havin a twin Erica.

Posted by Alexis on January 27, 2010 at 06:18 PM EST #

k gurls there is a such thing as plastic surgery and ppl changing who they are for different reasons.Besides the twin theory i also think that maybe iris might be alli as well and everyone esle who has said that i agrree! Although i dont for some things it makes sense and for other things it doesnt...any other ideas ladies??

Posted by ally on January 27, 2010 at 07:03 PM EST #

Hmm , i'm thinking that maybe Ali didn't forget what was on her flag piece , i'm thinking she was just lying. She most likely didn't think the girls would see it up close because once you hand it in , it goes on the flag so she could pass it off as someone elses. OH maybe she had two! Maybe she made one like she told the girls and the other just because she felt like it. She got one from Jason and maybe she got one from Widen (who stalked her , so she talked her way into getting him to tell her where it was) i don't know just a thought. Also Sarah , you made a really good point! Emily just right away thought it was Ali but maybe Maya did notice something off , but Maya didn't know what Ali looked like either but still i like it:) and caroline <3 you made a good point to about Leah and Lia. I think it's a little out there but these books are so expect the unexpected:)

Posted by Izzy on January 27, 2010 at 07:59 PM EST #

OK Guys, great theories except that Iris couldn't have pretended to be Ali or whatever because Iris has green eyes and Ali has blue eyes, and someone would notice how different she looked. Also, I don't think Ali's really dead. But then again, the twin theory is really a little too obvious...that wouldn't be much of a twist. Billy was Definitely framed, it's way to easy and not shocking enough for him to be the killer. Bye for now <3

Posted by Julia on January 27, 2010 at 08:22 PM EST #

Alright i have some ideas: First of im pretty sure ians dead. Second alli DEFFINITATLY has something to do with the clinic that hanna was at cause remember how when she was looking at the magazine about her she saw allis pic in the background of the attic room they were in? Another thing that noones remembering. I kind of think that alli might have been courtny cause at some point they mentioned how iris was insane and hurt courtny sooo.....yeaaa just some thoughts...

Posted by ally on January 27, 2010 at 09:17 PM EST #

I LOVE this books! You should tottaly read this books if you are thinking about it. I read these books before i go to bed and they scare me, but its worth it

Posted by Michaela :) on January 27, 2010 at 10:12 PM EST #

I am right there with ya @ally. Iagree with you totally.Great minds think alike.

Posted by Alexis on January 27, 2010 at 10:22 PM EST #

Ok mostly everybody's theories make sense I do believe that Ali and Iris are twins because of that picture A had sent them, and I think that Iris got kinda sad when Hanna said that Ali got what she deserved because I think she was kind of sad that her sister was gone and in the group confession thing when Iris had like got mad at Hanna because she had found out that Hanna was apart of the, pretty little liars group, I think she got mad because since she had been reading those magazines that she killed Ali but I don't think Ali is dead but I also believe that Iris got mad at Hanna also was because she really truly didn't know if Ali was dead or not all she knew was what the press made it out to be.

Posted by Alessandra on January 28, 2010 at 12:29 AM EST #

I am in love with this freakin series! i was reading some of you guys responses and i agree but then again i don't. I'm not sure about Iris, it's possible that she knew ali through Jason. And ali, like spencer, probably thought she was cool and got back stabbed in the in. When the paper says Ali killed Ali, i dont think it means literally. It could mean that Ali is no longer who she used to be. shes living in disguise. i dont think she has a twin. i think leah is the one that was in the ditch and ali is still alive somewhere. it sucks that jenna died :[ AND for those of you saying that ali having a twin is why her dad said kids, Jason is older than Ali, so it's VERY possible that Jason is his child as well. not just ali.

Posted by Destiny :] on January 28, 2010 at 12:34 AM EST #

Who is that one girl that Jason fell in love with once.

Posted by Alexis on January 28, 2010 at 01:02 PM EST #

i believe that Melissa is A. Jason was in love with her and she could quite possibly talk him into doing whatever (by playing with his feelings). She is in every book but no one would suspect her because shes just the "sister". I'm thinking Melissa tricked Jason into telling her that Ali is alive (because remember when Jason was yelling at Jenna? Im guessing she knew Ali was alive and helped hide her and didn't tell Jason but somehow he found out and confronted her about it) So, Melissa knew Ali is alive and since Jason is her brother, he could read her diary or she would tell him stuff and he could pass that on to Melissa!! making Melissa A because she knows all the secrets and who or where Ali is!!

Posted by Kenzie on January 28, 2010 at 02:05 PM EST #

thanks everyone! ok so i just reread flawless (book #2) for no reason. one of the first chapters is about emily seeing a poster with amish people and she thinks "hmm i wish i was amish.. all my troubles would go away!" then in heartless, she got her wish. kinda pointless but i thought it was cool. the chapter title was like where do i sign up to be amish?

Posted by caroline <3 on January 28, 2010 at 04:41 PM EST #

hahaha caroline that's really funny! and what were the clues for the girl Jason was in love with? was it definitely melissa or was it just said that she had blonde hair? that would be funny if it was iris

Posted by spencer on January 28, 2010 at 05:51 PM EST #

there r other questions i want answer to like what is the significance of the flag piece, and the hypnosis ali did on them,why she ditched naomi and riley, and why she suddenly decided to like ian when in wicked we found out she didnt really like him at first....

Posted by sabrina on January 28, 2010 at 05:52 PM EST #

hmmmm @sabrina i agree i would like the answer to those questions as well.....they all seeem like very important clues to the puzzle. Anyone remeber anything from the books that refer to any of these questions, or have any theorys?:)

Posted by ally on January 28, 2010 at 08:13 PM EST #

Spoilers!!!!...i guess. just my theory, someone probably already posted something like this. o well. ali had a twin sister( thats why spencers dad said kids) and the twin is....dun dun dun duh!!! courtney from the place hanna was at! courtney left recently and guess who shows up recently in the woods but ali(who was courtney!) thats y ali's face was on the wall of that room! it defaintly wasnt that billy ford guy who killed them. for some reason i think it was melissa, and she set up billy. ian is defaintly dead. theres some meaning to the well. i also think A is maya and maybe jenna......maybe

Posted by aislynn on January 28, 2010 at 09:26 PM EST #

Sara told me that there is a connection between Jason, Iris, and The Radley. What do you guys think it is? =O

Posted by Avery on January 28, 2010 at 10:18 PM EST #

hmmmm i wonder if maybe we have it wrong and possibly iris was in the radley not alli and thats the girl jason fell in love with which is why he was always visiting but she was crazy and mean to alli....

Posted by ally on January 28, 2010 at 10:29 PM EST #

i think it was iris that called ali and did that screechy moaning...she might have been tormenting ali and thats why ali said " sometimes I wish she was out of my life forever"....but when she says that she says "sometimes" as though this thought is really bad like say if you were thinking about a family member and saying that

Posted by sabrina on January 28, 2010 at 11:17 PM EST #

I had an interesting thought about Mrs. DiLaurentis. She was worried enough about Ali to question the girls in person. She claimed to have searched for Ali's diary and was unable to find it. I would think she would have searched the house and the yard for Ali. Which brings me to another theory. If she searched the yard, wouldn't she have seen a body lying in the hole? We know she was lying about searching for the diary, because Mona found it among Ali's things when Maya's family moved in. I think Mrs. DiLaurentis was hiding more than Ali's paternity.

Posted by Sarah on January 29, 2010 at 08:49 AM EST #

And then there's another odd thing about Darren Wilden. He claimed that the DNA was an exact match. Well, wouldn't they have compared it to Mr. and Mrs. DiLaurentis? Wouldn't that have made it not a match considering Mr. Hastings is her father? If it IS a match, the cops would have had to know about the affair, to correctly identify the body. Or even more twisted, what if the DNA was a match to Mr. and Mrs. DiLaurentis? Is it possible they had a daughter together a year before or after Ali was born? Or maybe Ali DID have a twin, but not from the same father? I'm not even sure if that's possible... It's weird. Wilden definitely knows more than he's saying.

Posted by Sarah on January 29, 2010 at 09:01 AM EST #

You know what would be crazy? If all four girls woke up from hypnosis at the end of the series, back to the night that Ali died. And that nothing in the present day series had ever happened, but when Ali hypnotized them, they saw what came after she died, and they had the chance to prevent it. Cause, they all remembered seeing freaky things whenever they were hypnotized? Weird.. I'm sorry. I have really twisted theories about PLL. But then again, the series is juicy and twisted itself. :) And.. Billy Ford???!? Like seriously?!? I hope he really didn't do it, it would be juicier if the killer was an important character or someone close to Ali. Maya is definitely suspicious.. she knows something. And I'm a supporter of the twin theory, and the theory about Ali in the mental hospital.

Posted by Natalee on January 29, 2010 at 08:27 PM EST #

I truely think Melissa is A , but Natalee , that would actually be cool but a little dissipointing because then all this would be pointless. I still have so many questions too! like what happened with Naomi and Riley? Why did Ali's mom not find Ali's diary if she looked everywhere? And that Flag piece with all the random letters and a well? is Ian actaully dead? did Widen actually kill his girlfriend or helped kill Ali? Is Billy Ford important at all , or just set up? And where was Maya and why did Jenna have to die? She was so weird and knew soo much and now shes dead? Was Jason in the Radley with Iris or are they maybe related , like maybe shes Ali?? Did Ali date Widen and Ian or just say that she dated Ian? Im so confused so i hope all is answered in Wanted :):)

Posted by Kenzie on January 29, 2010 at 10:45 PM EST #

hey for the last time iris is NOT ali, hannah sees iris has green eyes and it distinctively says "iris had pointer features than ali. good theories :)

Posted by imsuchaliar on January 30, 2010 at 12:32 AM EST #

I would not at all be surprised if Iris was Ali's twin, because although she does have "pointier" features it would make sense because I think Spencer mentioned something about Mrs. DiLaurentis having pointy features. Or Iris could possibly be the real child of Mr. and Mrs. DiLaurentis, because Mr. DiLaurentis was also described with those pointy features, and it would make sense since she resembled Ali but didn't look exactly like her.

Posted by bella on January 30, 2010 at 11:43 PM EST #

okay so i know that y'all keep saying iris can't be ali bc her features are "pointier" and she has green eyes...but i def look different from how i looked in middle school..people get taller, their features become more defined..she could've lost weight and gotten taller which would have made her features more distinct also..someone mentioned that ali could be a sociopath and part of being a sociopath means that they like to assume different identities..and when people assume diff identities they make themselves over....SOOOO..she could have gotten new "eyes" (or contacts) to go along with her new identity. but i also strongly believe that iris is ali's twin or friend.

Posted by ashleyduhh on January 31, 2010 at 12:16 AM EST #

so, i'm confused we figured out who killed ali and everything. but remeber when "iris" said that they have some girl locked up in the basement? who is that suppose to be?

Posted by nessa on January 31, 2010 at 09:22 AM EST #

does anyone think it's weird that they have all these refrences to the poconos but nobody was ever smart enought to go there and look for clues. my guess is in wanted they are going to go up there aan find smething that will have everything make sence i mean they've been talking about the pocanoes since the beginnig so obviously they should see what's going on. i also have a sneaking suspicion that if ian is alive, that's where he's hiding and figuring out the truth

Posted by frilly on January 31, 2010 at 11:49 AM EST #

alrighty y'all...so i've come up with something and i'm not sure how this is going to work into everything else but i'm sure y'all have forgotten about this and it's going to have y'all questioning your theories and i'm sorry that it'll probably confuse y'all but i'm confused too but anyway here goes... does anyone remember trista!? that girl emily met who just so happened to look a lot like alli..................................................................................................................................

Posted by frilly on January 31, 2010 at 12:20 PM EST #

i mean i know eveyone thinks that ali had a twin but what if she had two...like triplets...and maybe she was supposed to be dead but maybe someone else died instead...

Posted by frilly on January 31, 2010 at 12:21 PM EST #

i jus read the questions sara answered this is a question she answered......Is Iris really crazy ?She is crazy, but not in the way you think. Perhaps someone...someone named A...got to her and put some pretty little ideas into her head. (Small hint!) .....what does that mean?......oh and Ali's diary is an important clue, and the fight ali had with naomi and riley will be revealed....

Posted by sabrina on January 31, 2010 at 02:33 PM EST #

Omg, okay so a lottt of people are saying Ali has a twin. yeah, I think I see whyy this may be true. Like you know how Spencers father said I didnt know about the kidS until later? well idont think jason was apart of the kids, i think it might have been ali and her twin. but maybe the parents of spencer and ali didn't want anyone to know about the twin. but wow, seriously... i think Ali really is dead, and the twin is still alive, and sending the girls the messages, being A. But wow, everyone is talkng bout the twin theoryy. but that'd be really funny if in the last book there had nothing to do with a twin at all. hahaha

Posted by carla on January 31, 2010 at 02:41 PM EST #

ahhh, pll. anyone wanna discuss theories with meh?

Posted by miki on January 31, 2010 at 03:26 PM EST #

I luv the books its just im wondering SPOILER ALERT if billy cook is A!!!!!! And if hes really Alis killer. He probably is based on the evidence but u never know. Well anyway i cant believe that Spencer blabed to her mom about her dads affair. I thought she was suppossed to be smart and know when people are tricking her. Well I TOTALLY WANT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK. WILL THERE BE ONE? And also i wonder if the TV thing is such a good idea cause i think i will be all like THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED and i might think the cast should be different. What do u guys think

Posted by Jackie on January 31, 2010 at 03:45 PM EST #

OHH and i totally think that the twin thing might be true i mean it would fit in perfectly especially abot how they found a girl who looked just like Ali in the woods. It would totally be the perfect twist. I dont think there were triplets though

Posted by Jackie on January 31, 2010 at 03:48 PM EST #

to nessa- i think the basement girl is ali. it really has to be. and sabrina- thats interesting, because the only way to give some ideas to iris is to actually go to the preserve. how would A be able to communicate with her? for some reason i think kate is A because of the fact that she found the psychiatrist at school for hannah. there's like 4 different theories from the last book: iris is ali, iris is ali's twin, iris' roommate courtney is ali, or ali is in the preserve basement.

Posted by spencer on January 31, 2010 at 04:28 PM EST #

i think that iris knows ali cuz ali went to the radley, then when it closed iris got trasferred there. and jason kept visiting her. and iris knows everything cuz ali told her. ideas? and what basement are you talking about?

Posted by miki on January 31, 2010 at 04:39 PM EST #

i wonder why naomi & riley & ali DID get into a fight...maybe they learned about her twin...idk.

Posted by miki on January 31, 2010 at 04:43 PM EST #

one word. TRISTA. y'all are so caught up in iris that y'all have forgotten about someone else who just so happened to look a h*** of a lot like ali. so somebody please agnolage that she was a character and take her into consideration

Posted by frilly on January 31, 2010 at 06:08 PM EST #

so i reread killer and here are some clues that i've found that seem important: 1.emily got a text from A that had a pic of ali jenna and someone whos face is covered butt they have blonde hair-the girls just assume it's naomi but what if it's really ali's twin 2.when aria is talking to jason they start talking about her crush on him and how she was watching him one day at school when the school secretary came up to him and told him that he had a phone call being held in the office and then aria thinks she hears the secretary say "she claims to be your sister" but aria had seen ali at school that day and assumes that it's just jason's secret girlfriend see these prove that she has a twin!!!!!!!!!!

what the h*** is the deal with billy ford anyway. we all know that he's not really ali's killer

Posted by frilly on January 31, 2010 at 06:23 PM EST #

i know everyone is worked up about ali having iris as her twin which makes me think that that's just there to mess with our heads and distract us from the truth... i mean maybe iris is jason's twin OR maybe spencer is ali's twin and olivia gave birth to iris but spencer and iris were switched OR maybe ali is oliva's kid and iris and spencer are the twins OR maybe trista is someone's twin OR mona had blonde hair right how do we know she's not someone's twin...OR maybe leah is a twin OR iris and trista are the same person OR leah is really trista and now she's locked up in the basement of the mental hospital!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by frilly on January 31, 2010 at 06:28 PM EST #

i really doubt that trista had anything to do with ali, so stop screaming about her every single post! haha i doubt ali would want to fake liking emily anyway. and how can leah be alis twin if she was in the Amish town? that makes zero sense

Posted by jayjay on January 31, 2010 at 06:58 PM EST #

So Sara Shepard said we have already met A... so who could it be? I get the feeling that A is a girl but who knows. Kate- has been around since beginning and hates Hanna and possibly the others. Trista- wouldn't really make sense but anythings possible in these books. Naomi/Riley- mad that Ali ditched them for the other girls. Melissa- doesn't like Spencer or Ali. Ughh I can't think of anyone! I reread all of them this weekend to try and get an idea but haven't been able to. It's probably someone we never would have expected like Meredith

Posted by CW on January 31, 2010 at 08:04 PM EST #

Okay I just spent all night reading this book and I have an early class tomorrow morning but it was sooooo worth it. Now Ford might've pretended to be Ian but he definitely isnt A. A responds in a very feminine way at the end of the texts so it must be a girl. Now going with this whole twin thing it could be possible. Ali's twin could be in the basement of that place or its Ali herself but she was known as Courtney who told Iris all about what happened to her and Iris is in fact A but why? If ALi (or her twin) were in the basement how did they, at that age, fake their dissappearance and runaway TO that place? Also the whole Wilden, Leah, and Jason thing are mighty suspicious! But i believe that Ian faked his own death so he can figure out whats going on since everyone turned on him. Maybe he's in the infamous Pocanos lol If he is dead and Ali too then what do their deaths and now Jenna's have in common?

Posted by Amira on February 01, 2010 at 01:19 AM EST #

That random Ford guy has like no relation so maybe he isnt the killer afterall or maybe Iris is his daughter? wouldnt that be disturbing? or even worse Iris is Mr. Hastings "other" child...dun dun dun! And Iris found out about Ali through Jason's visits and she plotted to kill her because she was jealous that her birth parents kept Ali and not her. IDK but the next installment Wanted comes out Jun 29th yay!

Posted by Amira on February 01, 2010 at 01:20 AM EST #

OMG (: i loved heartless! Best book so far! and is alison dead or not? i cant wait til june!!!

Posted by katie on February 01, 2010 at 10:00 AM EST #

k...WOW!!!!! This book was AMAZING!!! But I am deeply confused? Like...WHO IS A????????!!!!!!! I also don't understand why the one dude (SPOILER!!!!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡) killed Ali! They only mentioned him once in the other books & out of the blue he killed her! I hope... no i PRAY that there is another book! One with all the answers to my questions! ( Sara Shepard you have outdone yourself! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!)

Posted by Hannah on February 01, 2010 at 01:10 PM EST #

Hmmm. Yes, weren't the Poconos Ali's favorite place? I have a feeling that something has been going on up there, and I agree that the house probably has some clues.

Posted by Sarah on February 01, 2010 at 04:43 PM EST #

Okay, I just finished.. I really think billy ford was set up. I still think ali has a twin but I don't think it's Iris. I think the picture 'A' gave emily a few books back with the "mystery blonde" is iris. I definitely think Iris knows ali but her twin? Probably not. I'm not sure where Courtney fits into it.. i'd love to hear ya'lls theroies on that. And leah zook? hmmm I hope her only connection to the book is being the one in the hole.

Posted by Keeley on February 01, 2010 at 04:47 PM EST #

y'all i just read the beginning of the 1st one and it talks about girls named phi and chassey and how a body was found in peaks pond............and then i read that when ali was hypnotizing them they all had a dream that ali fell down a really big well with giant plants hello a well? hmmmm...what does this mean????

Posted by frilly on February 01, 2010 at 04:49 PM EST #

idk if this is just a coincident or a clue or maybe sara just really likes wawa...but they mention wawa a lot in all of the books.......

Posted by frilly on February 01, 2010 at 04:53 PM EST #

Can someone please remind me about the girl in the basement? I really don't remember reading that? Thanks :) Also, I think WANTED will have a lot to do with the poconnos house. And I have a scary feeling whoever posted about all of this just being part of the hypnosis is right. Otherwise why would they always refer to it. And lastly, To me naomi and riley aren't important to the seris.. but I think I might be wrong on that one.

Posted by Keeley on February 01, 2010 at 04:58 PM EST #

ya'll know how in killer when arria's at jason's ther's a dog that chases her and how they smell smoke sometimes....well maya has a bloodhound and she smokes...idk if this means anything...it probs doesn't but you know.i just thought i'd share that with y'all

keeley-iris tells hannah about a girl that was so crazy that she lives in the basement of the mental hospital

Posted by frilly on February 01, 2010 at 05:12 PM EST #

SPOILER!!! Okay well for that was the best book i have ever read...i read it in one night... not even kidding. Personaly i think ali is still alive, and that leah was probaly in the hole. Also i bet they got the "killer" all wrong, and origonaly hes just a freak rapest! But I bet Courtney, Irsis friend, is ali, how else would she know ali?! I dont think she is ali her self though....And for ali and spencer being sisters!!! That was just crazy!!! I am so sad that there is only one more book after this!!!!!!! I want the drama to go on forever lol!!! :D And honestly the only one who hasnt completey ruined their lives is emily and aria...how is spencer gonna live that down?!?! And for hannah they probaly think she is crazy, and will send her to a major mental hospital...And i couldnt beleive jenna died!!how are we gonna know what the deal was between jenna and ali!?!!??! For some reason i feel that the next book, isnt gonna have a happy ending!

Posted by River on February 01, 2010 at 05:23 PM EST #

ummm everyone what if iris isnt as involved as evryone thinks she is? Like in almost every post theres something to do with iris....i just dont think that Sara would make it that easy to figure out there has to be more to the story then just the fact that iris is her twin its waaay to noticable!

ok ive read this books twice and im a little disappointed with the killer!! I know all the evidence points to Ford, but they only BRIEFLY mentioned the workers!! Oh and how did he know all of their secrets ESPECIALLY the one where Spencers dad was cheating and Ali is Spencers sis!! I love you as an author Sara and i know/hope your gonna fill us in a little bit more in Wanted!! I love all your other books but was a little disappointed how this one ended and it gave me a headache with Hannah and the new physco girl!! But still LOVE the books!!!

Posted by Jessica on February 02, 2010 at 02:18 PM EST #

Oh yeah and what the F is up with the pyschic tellin Aria that "Ali killed Ali" im sooo lost as far as that goes..unless she walked into the hole and killed herself accidently??

Posted by frilly on February 02, 2010 at 06:17 PM EST #

so i reread killer and here are some clues that i've found that seem important: 1.emily got a text from A that had a pic of ali jenna and someone whos face is covered butt they have blonde hair-the girls just assume it's naomi but what if it's really ali's twin 2.when aria is talking to jason they start talking about her crush on him and how she was watching him one day at school when the school secretary came up to him and told him that he had a phone call being held in the office and then aria thinks she hears the secretary say "she claims to be your sister" but aria had seen ali at school that day and assumes that it's just jason's secret girlfriend see these prove that she has a twin!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by frilly on February 02, 2010 at 06:23 PM EST #

ok, so when i read heartless i was like completely stunned by the random ending, but then i started thinking about it. assuming that billy ford is ali's killer, i bet there's some kind of connection between him and rosewood because otherwise its way too random. the whole twin thing is the only solution that makes any sense to me, but just the fact that everyone has thought of it makes me think it's not true. I'm hoping the solution is a little more creative and something no one expected. can't wait for wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by johnlocke on February 04, 2010 at 12:25 PM EST #

Ok, so after reading some of your guys' theories, here's mine: I agree with Emily<33, that Iris was probably Ali's twin. Because, if you think about it, it makes sense. First off, Spencer said that she saw two blondes talking in the woods the night that Ali died, and since Iris has white-blonde hair, it probably could've been her. Also, when the psychic wrote that, "Ali killed Ali," she could've been referring to Iris, because they're twins. Ali and Iris probably went to the Preserve together, except that Iris had to stay there longer than Ali. Iris probably got angry at Ali for getting released earlier than her. And, if you think about it, if Ali and Iris were sisters, then wouldn't Iris have known about Ali's scret relationship with Ian? What if Iris had gotten jealous about this, and had learned about Ian and Ali's plans to meet up the night that Ali died. Iris would've confronted Ali, and, overcome with anger and jealousy, and killed her.

Posted by Mia on February 05, 2010 at 01:33 AM EST #

omg! i have a theory but im not sure. first i am almost completely sure billy is not A. A has to be someone who went to school with them, because A knows things only someone stoking them for a pretty long time would know. and i think billy was gonna kill ali but on that night she had already taken the pills Aria saw in the trash can and when he was about to go kill her or abuse her he saw her dead. he got nervous and killed jenna because he thought she knew. Also i think A is definatly more than one person, like some kind of club that hates aria, spencer n hanna n emily. iris, maya, wilden, melissa? im not sure

Posted by daisy on February 05, 2010 at 11:22 PM EST #

*SPOILER ALERT* I think Iris definitely knew Ali. This theory seems a bit out there, but what if Ali had multiple personality disorder? "Ali killed Ali." Just a thought. Also, maybe Iris is Ali's twin...I think Ali is dead though. Remember how Iris said "the people who work here let me do whatever I want anyways." Think about that..hmm..this is SO confusing!

Posted by Madison (: on February 06, 2010 at 03:12 PM EST #

I think Maya might be A or associated with A since she recently got close to Jenna and Jenna knew all the details of Ali's twisted twin and other siblings. It seemed like A was helping the pll's out by basically telling them about Iris and how Ali isnt dead, they just have to put the puzzle pieces together. If A is Maya then shes just trying to help them out rather then destroying them...

Posted by Isa on February 06, 2010 at 10:39 PM EST #

okay, so i totally don't think ali has a twin. that seems kind of ridiculous to me. where would they have had her all this time?? i think that ali was the one that got sent to the mental place not Jason, but she used the name Courtney and thats how Iris knew her. its also extremely random that "billy ford" killed her? hmm? he had NOTHING to do with anything throughout the books, he was just a creeper-construction worker. i hope he didn't kill her, that would be stupid & extremely dissapoiting to me.... ali MIGHT have killed herself, i think. she was apparently depressed 'n stuff. but i hope ali's alive!! :/ who was the girl in the woods, or was it just a hallucination? GEEZ! these books are so confusing and GOOD, i'm addicted. Sara is a great author, i'm just dying to know what is going on!

Posted by Lauren <3 on February 08, 2010 at 02:30 PM EST #

idk i think...and have thought for a long time that ali has a twin...but that's the way these books are like i think i've figured something out but of course it isn't true...i mean i think it's a great theory but being as everyone has thought of it...i mean idk it just seems like it might be too obvious for ali to have a twin. i guess i might be a little dissapointed to find out that ali does have a twin because everybody has thought of that and i was hoping for something a little bit more creative. it could still be great though because i have absolutely no idea who a is and i'm dying to find out.maybe though it just seems like ali has a twin to cover things up...idk maybe jason's the one with a twin..or idk i mean i just really don't know

Posted by frilly on February 08, 2010 at 04:46 PM EST #

GUYS! Iris is not Ali's twin, but A sent texts to her making her think she was Ali's Twin! Sara Shepard hinted this theory in the inkpop interview. Also, Ali or Iris or both are def. sociopaths.

why dont you guys get "ALI KILLED ALI?" ALI'S TWIN KILLED HER. she got fed up with it. and shes the one alive & the one they ALL saw...and i bet that's why oe of the ali's was in a hospital...and thats who ian saw in the forest...(: i cant wait for it ALL to be revealed. ahhhh!

Posted by miki on February 11, 2010 at 03:25 PM EST #

AH I LOVE THESE BOOKS! I think the theory Ali having a twin is a good one. But for some reason I think by when the physic says "Ali killed Ali" I dont think she meant Ali literally killed herself, I think she meant that Ali killed what she was and is now a new person. does that make sense? like now she is living as someone else somewhere else. I dont think Billy Ford was A and everything, he wouldnt just be thrown in there last minute and be the answer to all of the problems. I think Iris is a big hint, not sure how though. Maybe she was related to Spencer and Ali too? Jennas for sure dead :( I really hope that Ali is alive! I think that Wilden is hiding something, but I dont think he killed anyone. he has to know things we dont. Jason and Iris both went to the same hospital thing so maybe they went out or something? because Ali knew Iris and she doesnt like her because in Hannas dream she said Iris hurt her! ah idk!

Posted by karlie on February 12, 2010 at 12:17 PM EST #

Im confused but i think Spencer's dad and Ali's mom had Jason, Ali, and Iris. And Spencer's dad and Spencer's mom had Melissa and Olivia had Spencer. I think Jason met Iris at Radley and they found out there related, because Iris told Hanna she isn't in touch with her dad. I for sure think Ali is alive. And maybe Iris and Ali are ferturnal twins? And Iris was sent away to cover up Peter and Jessica's affair? I think Wilden is covering up something....maybe about Leah. I think the 2 blond's in the woods the night Ali went missing, was Iris Ali or Jason, one of the combinations. Ian is innocent and i think Jason is too. I think the body is Leah's. Maybe someone got mad at Ali but and thought Iris or Leah was her and hurt her... maybe when Spencer pushed Ali it was Iris or Leah. I don't know... But i know for a face ALI IS ALIVE SOMEWHERE. Maybe somewhere in Rosewood...?

Posted by Hannah on February 12, 2010 at 12:27 PM EST #

I just found out about these bookz yesterday & im still reading the 1st one...so far i love love love love it!!!! its the greatest thing and it was weird 2 meh that the girls name was Alison cuz dats my name turns out we hav a lot in common exxcept im alive!!! lol...anyways cant wait 4 the t.v. series im gonna watch evry episode!!!!!!! u guys rock ! To:Sara Shepard , keep writing these books till the day u die!!! and pls dont die! :)

Posted by Alison on February 12, 2010 at 04:00 PM EST #

*SPOILER* i think iris is ali's ferturnal twin and that's why she knew ali. i think somehow someone got mad at ali and tried to kill her but accidently killed leah and leah is in the hole. haha i have so much weird ideas. but i just hope the end ties it all together. one thing i dont get is why hanna thought ali drew a frog on the flag but it wasnt on therre.... any ideas about that? -Hannah

Posted by Hannah on February 12, 2010 at 07:57 PM EST #

haha it's so much fun reading y'all's theories........lol

Posted by frilly on February 13, 2010 at 02:26 PM EST #

omg so idk if y'all have been reading my previous posts but i've kinda taken clues from the books like i wrote this: ...how a body was found in peaks pond. and then i read that when ali was hypnotizing them they all had a dream that ali fell down a really big well with giant plants hello a well was on alis flag and in heartless it says how spencer had random bruises and scratches on her arm like she got caught in a vine...vine! plants! i think spencer was there when ali was killed and tried to save her...and i think peaks pond has something to do with it but idk what.....

Posted by frilly on February 14, 2010 at 06:16 PM EST #

also, i think that wilden is innocent. i think that he loved leah and she was in the mess with ali and iris(who are twins) and so one of them died but no one is sure who it was who died and who is still alive...it was really weird for wilden to become a cop and i only think he did it be be involved with ali's case because he wanted to find out if leah was alive. and ali never shared that much with the girls because when naomi and riley found out they faught..and the books mention about how ali posted things on the computer adn stuff and told their secrets and made their lives miserable..well she was sort of being like an A to them so they didn't tell anyone...

Posted by frilly on February 14, 2010 at 07:11 PM EST #

...when i say that naomi and riley found out i mean about her twin iris and how she is crazy and has some sort of multiple personality disorder and ali's mom asked if she had ever been bullied..i think she was referring to naomi and riley bullying her because they found out. i also think that ali's blackmail gave them the idea to blackmail the girls and be A( so i think they are A) also sara said that we've known A scince the beginning and we've known them scince the beginning. ALSO, iris says that someone dropped a girl off for two weeks and then never came back for her...well emily says that ali dissapeared for two weeks(then claimed to be in the poconos) but i think this is a connection as well as when i think it's aria goes to the poconos with ali adn while she's hiding she hears ali talking to her mom about how it's not fair and how it's a sad place and ali's mom says that it's what's best fro the family

Posted by frilly on February 14, 2010 at 07:28 PM EST #

...i think they're talking about sending iris away to the mental hospital that hanna later sees her in... and i think that either ali or leah is trapped in the basement of the mental hospital by iris but iris was the girl who was dropped off there and she's locking the other girl up because she is crazy and evil............and there is way more to say but i'm too lazy to stay here and write it so i'll post more tomorrow or maybe later but please please respond adn tell me what you think of my brillience

Posted by frilly on February 14, 2010 at 07:43 PM EST #

I'm thinking that Ali and Iris are twins, and Jason's in the Radley sign-out book because he kept visiting her. I think the whole Billy Ford guy is a plant...Wilden's probably been doing research on the whole Ali case for a while, and obvious, the people that had been frequently around the house when she went missing--i.e. the builders--would have been repeatedly interviewed. It would be more than easy for Wilden, a cop, to plant stuff on an already creepy suspicious character. That said, A is probably Melissa--linked with Jason, Wilden, and Ian, and innocuous enough that no one would suspect her. Jason was in love with her, Ian dated her, and Wilden was Jason's best friend...it's fair game that Jason would tell Melissa some stuff about Ali/Iris/his messed-family and Wilden's life (which he would know about because they're friends). Melissa could use this info to throw the cops off Ian, who she loves, and screw with Spencer and her friends, who Melissa clearly resents.

Posted by deidre on February 14, 2010 at 07:52 PM EST #

Maya and Spencer being neighbors lends to the possibility that Melissa and Maya have met, and through the Rosewood Day rumor mill Maya would know some stuff Melissa could use as A. New A knows way too much to be one person...I'm thinking it's a web of people actualized by Melissa, who does the technology stuff, and Maya, who can do the school stuff/stalking. As for Jenna's death, I think Maya (who I suspect has found something about Ali in her old bedroom) shared it with Jenna (think about it, they live in the same neighborhood, they've probably met), who was offed by Wilden--Ali, Iris, and Leah are clearly linked in someway, and I think Jenna, who knew more about Ali that any of the PLLs do, knew what that link was. Iris and Wilden, I think, were working together. I think Iris was sent away to cover for Spencer's dad's and Mrs. DiLaurentis' affair, and I think that she wanted to take over Ali's life. Dead Ali=Iris can take over.

Posted by deidre on February 14, 2010 at 07:53 PM EST #

Jason's probably totally innocent, but he probably resented Ali because I suspect he met Iris and liked her more than his attention-grabbing manipulative little sister. I believe he loved her though, and wouldn't of hurt her. Because of this, his hatred of Ian is probably just because he's an older brother who wouldn't have liked someone so much older messing with his 12-year-old sister. As you can see, I've spent a decent amount of time crafting this theory...XD. What I'm most confused about is 1: where and how does Leah fit into all this? and 2: if Wilden was Amish, how did he go to Rosewood Day? The Amish background definitely means more than it seems.

Posted by deidre on February 14, 2010 at 07:53 PM EST #

Also, I think frilly's theory of the girl being locked in the basement of the mental hospital being Ali or Leah makes sense...but how would she survive there for 4 years.?

Posted by bri on February 15, 2010 at 05:41 PM EST #

omg! finished book long ago but havent been 2 the site in 4eva! kk...first i refuse to beilve that the creep killed ali.....just it doesnt seem right. and i so beilve that ali was in the mental hospital....and knew iris...and i think that spencer being ali's sis is so crazy it worked....congrats sara! awesome book not as good as killer but ah-mazing!

Posted by S on February 15, 2010 at 06:53 PM EST #

just so ya know, this is a question that i have and i don't know if y'all have thought about but you know how the order of girls on the cover is spencer, hanna, aria, then emily....well then the next books go spencer, hanna, then emily, and then aria...how come emily and aria are switched? do you guys think it means something or it's just a mess up or maybe they didn't even notice?please please please respond!

Posted by frilly on February 16, 2010 at 04:43 PM EST #

also,to go along with my theory, i think that wilden is in cahoots with iris or ali or whoever is still alive because he is trying to figure out if leah is still alive, which is why he is not working hard on the case because he doesn't care about the killer or A he just cares about leah.whoever was in the fire wilden helped them escape (emily saw the cop car driving away). i think he was at the drugstore, but the meds were for iris not his uncle, i think iris always needeed meds but her parents were embarrased and ashaimed of her, so they kept her a secret and put the meds under ali's name instead(like the ones aria saw)

Posted by frilly on February 16, 2010 at 04:57 PM EST #

Okay, Mellissa HAS to be A. Who else has access to Spencer's family computer? And she would probably have Ian's password to his IM. Mellissa knew that the whole affair between her parents had gone on, and she probably knew Leah. Now Iris, well thats tricky. I definitely think that she is Alis twin, but those that are saying Iris was Ali have to remember when Hannah first saw Iris, she noted that Iris has green eyes, not blue. Contacts maybe? Its a possibility. Iris also said that her father was the dean of medicine, does anyone know what Mr. D did for a living? And when A sent that picture of Jenna and Ali, the girl who "didn't belong" could either be Melissa or Iris. Mellissa is NOT innocent here, she's got something to hide.

Posted by iheartmikemontgomery on February 16, 2010 at 08:42 PM EST #

i really love the series but heartless wasnt as good as i thought it would be. i thought it was going to reveal alot of secrets and interesting stuff but it just turned out to be a buch of asumptions. i also dont like how a random charecter turned out to be the killer.i hope the next book is better. i expected so much more from hearless especialy after the ending of killer. i dont want the series to end especialy like that!

Posted by stacie** on February 17, 2010 at 12:06 AM EST #

wow i have never read this book but from what people are saying its amazing, all i want is to get heartless. and its becoming a tv show!?!!?! omggg i can not wait i wont watch anyhitng ever again im so excited!

Posted by Corina on February 17, 2010 at 11:22 AM EST #

soo many theories. 1. Iris looks kinda like ali but pointy feutures(alis mom)so maybe alis mom had a kid with another man,billyford?2.maybe jasons twin 3.iris may be alis twin(or ali?) (surgery)5.ali went away for two weeks when she got back that was when the distantness started. maybe that was iris!iris said she got out the day before alis death,maybe that was the real ali coming to kill iris? or vice versa.jenna when she came back she was pretty,knew the girls more,always seemed to be there and starig at them. Maybe jenna is someone else like even Leah.i think jason is inocent and i dont think the real ali had mental issues.Maya may be courtny or somthing bacause yeah the smoke+the dog makes sence.Olivia and billy have somthing to do with it!maybe wilden to!

Posted by name on February 17, 2010 at 06:35 PM EST #

I really think that it didnt get guhd until late later in the book. i was waiting and waiting for the good parts to come. it took a while but over all i guess the book was good. killer was better though, i have to say. i jus cant believe that Jenna is dead. WAT DID SHE DO 2 ANYONE???

Posted by pll_chikk98 on February 17, 2010 at 06:35 PM EST #

First off, i DO NOT think that Iris is ali. but i do think that ali went to the preserve and met iris. plus, im really stuck on the faq that ali might not be dead. i dont think Billy Ford is A at all. bcuz once u think about it, IT MAKES NO SENSE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, B.F COMES AND IS ARRESTED 4 2 MURDERS. that just doesnt match. Heartless wasnt a complete disappointment but trust me when i say, HEARTLESS WAS NOT THAT GUHD. i jus hope that wanted will b better.

Posted by pll_chikk98 on February 17, 2010 at 06:49 PM EST #

i absolutely loved heartless however i do agree that it wasn't quite as good as the other books. i think that it was only because it is setting up for wanted-which i think will be awesome and the best yet and i am so dying to read it

i absolutly loved this book and im kinda excited becuz the next book comes out on my birthday and idt billy ford killed ali, cuz A to me seems like a girl thing with the whole revenge and jenna dying a bit random, but i scared when she was like mellissa i was like WHATTT!!!??? but its a fantastic book, billy ford is kind of random and so is the amish part. i think A set him up or like out the notes and stuff in his house but idk everytime i have a theory something toatally out of the blue happens

Posted by Vanessa on February 20, 2010 at 10:41 AM EST #

I have a few theories: 1. Iris is Ali.. Maybe she is wearing contacts and had some face work? 2. Iris and Ali are sisters.. Maybe Ali killed the real Iris and Ali is acting as Iris? Or the other way around, maybe. I think that if they are sisters, that Mr.Hastings was their father. 3. Billy Ford was payed by Spencer's father to act as the murderer. Maybe he killed Ali, so that his dirty secret wouldn't get out.. She found out everyones secrets, so maybe she figured out that her sister was Spencer and that Mr.Hastings was cheating on Spencer's mom. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW BOOK! I'M SO CONFUSED!

okay idk but i think billy ford might have known ali maybe he went to the mental hospital too or maybe he is the twin and he changed his name after her "death"...idk if i'm right comment back people!!!

i really liked the book, but i sorta wished ali would be alive or the killer would be someone we knew, i didnt like that it was just some random guy they had never mentioned, however great series, my favorite ever

omg guys i need to read wanted right now!!!! omg i think emily<33 has it all right i cant think about this anymore!!!!!

Posted by Jenn on February 20, 2010 at 10:22 PM EST #

So i agree with soem of the comments that Iris is Ali's twin, because Hanna said she looked like her when she first saw her. I'm so confused though, like, whaaat? I mean, all of their theories ( Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily's) have to somehow be connected or be in the book. Maybe Billy Ford did kill her, and Iris is like, trying to be like Ali so shes being mean to Hanna? And i think spencer and Ali are definitely related. Im so excited for wanted ahh!!! these books are CRAZYYY!!!

Posted by Gabrielle on February 21, 2010 at 09:11 PM EST #

Okay so. Ali went to the Preserve because she was depressed...or messed up...or something. That's where she met Iris. They became friends, and Iris backstabbed her. She also went to the Radley for help. Jason checked in so many times as her visitor. I don't think Ford killed Jenna or Ali. He was just creepy. I have no clue if Ian is a live or not. I think Wilden, Jason, and Ian are hiding something. I kind of think it was Leah's body in the hole, and that Ali is still alive...but I also really think that it IS Ali's body in there, and she DID kill herself. I think that Jason and Ali are Spencers half sister and brother. I think Melissa is hiding something too. I don't think it's really possible that she had a twin. And when Emsmerelda gave Aria the note saying "Ali killed Ali." I think whoever wrote that to be perfectly clear that Ali killed herself. So that their were no misunderstandings. Plus, if they had twins, why would Mrs. Dilaurentis name them the same name? That's weird.

....Anyway, I'm sure Sara will have a HUGE surprise for us, just like she always does. But I'm so anxious for Wanted to come out, I can barely stand it! I can't wait to just figure out EXACTLY what happened. My mind is soo JUMBLED. WHO IS FREAKIN' A?! Anyway..LOVE YOU SARA!

Posted by Serena on February 21, 2010 at 10:34 PM EST #

The books are good, and Honestly some of you have some great points. But, a few others seem to need to get a life. Like one in perticuler has about 10-15 comments in about a weeks time. Seriously if your just sitting in front if your parents laptoP responding to everyone who has ever left comments then you really need to get out more "frilly". some just plain out sound like a bunch of bored out of their mind 12yr olds.

Posted by Kimeko on February 21, 2010 at 11:02 PM EST #

Kimeko...What's wrong with enjoying the discussion of books? I love that I can talk to people about the series on this website because none of my friends are reading it, and frankly, my mom just doesn't care. If someone likes to have a debate about theories, and likes to share their opinions and react to other peoples opinions, don't you think they should be applauded for being so interested in a book series? A lot of the kids I know say things like, "Oh, I hate reading. It's boring." I think it's really cool that people can enjoy the magic of reading so much. And what better thing to do when you are bored than to come to a website and chat about your favorite series? Also, 12 year olds have thoughts, feelings, and opinions too. What is the difference between bored out of their mind 12yr old than a bored out of their mind 15yr old? Just sayin'...

Posted by Serena on February 21, 2010 at 11:46 PM EST #

hey kimeko i think that was pretty mean and you should apologize to the other bloggers and i don't think it's really any of your business and besides that's what this blog's for...posting your ideas...not trashing other people cuz they did what they were expected to do on a blog and your on this blog to, wasting your time complaining about how others are using it and idk counting how many times others use it in a week...i mean really? then why are you on here anyway if you obviously don't like the concept of blogging and sharing your ideas...not to be mean or anything(sorry if i was) it's just everyone has slow weeks and if they decide to post a lot i'm glad...i like reading other people's posts:)

Um first of all im a senior in high school not a 15 yr old. An I really dont care if you think im mean.thats your opinion an in retro-spective ur opinion doesn't matter to me.i will not apoligize for something that was not ment to be hurtful. Yea i get it everyone has slow days but,, come on not like that. An also I read a whole h*ll of a lot myself. An obviously little kids have feelings, I think im highly aware of that. An if you re-read my first comment I did not trash talk her i simply suggested she get out more. An finally I did not "count" all of her comments I estimated.

kimeko-one. i am not twelve years old for your information and okay then if you have such a problem with me posting things, i don't want to cause any arguments. so don't worry i'll just stop posting things here. also, thanks gagagirrrl and serena for defending me but yeah so bye

Posted by frilly on February 25, 2010 at 10:33 AM EST #

Is it possible that Iris is actually Alison? I mean during grade 7 year ali disappeared at one point and went to the Poconos with her gandmas, with out telling any of her friends, and that was apparently when Iris first checked in. Also, they look similar and even if Iris has pointier features and green eyes, aging and a set of color contacts would fufill the requirements. Finally, Leahs body could very well be the one found in the hole, not ali's. So it kinda comes down to the DNA testing, and possibly any other dramatic plot twists

Posted by Michaela on February 26, 2010 at 06:29 PM EST #

ChloeAndy, your twin theory is the first one I've heard that makes sense without sounding too bad-soap-opera. That is the one I agree with right now! I think that finding out why Ali stopped hanging out with Naomi and Riley is Very Important , but I'm not quite sure how. Call me an idealist, but I don't think that Melissa is involved, either with killing Ali or being A. I still want Spencer and Melissa to be friends! Even though Billy Ford may seem totally random, when you think about it, the killer would most likely be him in real life: some old, creepy man. And the workers were behaving inappropriately to Ali in the beginning, so it's not entirely unexpected. Still, I'm not for sure on that. Ali killed Ali" doesn't have to mean a physical killing, but maybe the death of an old way of life or...becoming someone else?

**i luv u lyndsi + peyton ur my bffls** OMG! i finished the book like two months ago but i didnt have any homework and i was sooooo bored...anyway i love these books and i will hate it when they come to an end cuz then i wont have anything to read... throughout heartless i new it was the worker guy,whatever his name was i totally forgot in the past few months!LOL!i think that ali was the one that went to the radley,not jason.TTYL!!<3

Posted by ally <3 on March 08, 2010 at 04:45 PM EST #

OMG heartless was an amazing book. I am still slightly confused though. Is Ali dead or were they actually halucinating? I can't wait to find out the whole truth and im not sure i can wait much longer lol. I think a great next book should be called Truth and thhe whole story gets told with all the details and missing parts that all us readers are trying to figure out lol. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ALI IS DEAD OR ALIVE LOL!!!!!!!!

Posted by Shelby-Lynn on March 09, 2010 at 11:00 AM EST #

I just read through all the comments and i totally think that there are too many theories lol except i do like Hannah's :)

Posted by Shelby-Lynn on March 09, 2010 at 11:09 AM EST #

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but remember when one of the girls (I think it was Aria) remembered that at one point Ali "disappeared" for a few weeks but when she came back she said she was visiting her grandma? Well maybe Ali was at a mental institution instead. And I have a feeling that Iris is related to Ali somehow, most likely a twin. I used to think the twin theory was silly, but after "Heartless" it makes sense.

Posted by Kendall on March 14, 2010 at 12:32 AM EST #

Oh, and Billy is obviously a red herring. He's too obvious; I think he has something to do with Alison's mystery, but Sara said the killer is someone we know, and we didn't know who Billy was until "Heartless." Also, for some reason I think Maya has something to do with this mystery. She obviously didn't kill Ali, but I think since she lives in Ali's old house, she might have found something that has to do with the mystery. I dunno, I could be totally wrong but I just have a feeling that Maya knows something...

Posted by Kendall on March 14, 2010 at 12:40 AM EST #

wait wasn't there a part of in one of the books..i don't remember which one, when they are walking away and one of the PPLs, i think it may have been emily, seeing someone roll up a car window and drive away and she could have SWORN it looked like ali???? could that be the same person from the woods??? i wonder who that was....

Posted by george on March 20, 2010 at 12:05 PM EDT #

i absolutly love heartless i just finished it it was so cool. i do remember a part in one of the books like that but it might be iris & kinda a dissapointer with the killer i mean kinda random dont you think i was kinda hoping for to be a huge shocker & then what about the note that said ali killed ali this book is keeping me guessing the whole time i hope the new one will give us some answers!!!!!!:)

Posted by gymnast on March 22, 2010 at 02:37 PM EDT #

i finally got a hold of heartless and read it. haha. it was great. *SPOILERS* but i am so confused about who killed Ali. I didnt expect it to be this creepy pedophile guy who was barely in the book. what is his motive to kill her anyway? and how could he write all the messages and know so much about Spencer, Emily, Aria, and Hanna? its just so confusing. but i am happy the whole thing with Spencer's family is over...i was so curious to find out what happened. and i wonder why the whole Wilden-Leah thing was in the book and how it connects to Ali. I am confused about Jason. Why would Billy kill Jenna? Who is Iris and how does she connect? I honestly believe the whole thing Aria did with Esmeralda...it seemed so real, even by reading it. i think that about sums it up.

Posted by hannah..my real name on March 24, 2010 at 03:13 AM EDT #

oops haha!! i forgot to mention whether i am psyched for the book or tv show. i have to say the book because i really want to find out everything. i want the answers to all my questions. i am excited for the show too, but a little disappointed that the characters dont exactly match what i pictured. i know they wouldnt get the casting perfect, but i imagined something different. she made the characters so detailed and right to the point that i thought in the tv show it would be the same. but i bet it will be just as great. =]

Posted by hannah..my real name on March 24, 2010 at 03:18 AM EDT #

K....so idk if Ali is alive or not.....but I think she def. Was at that mental hospital because there is a history of mental illnesses in her family..... I think Spenser is her sister.... N Spenser also has lapses in memory... Kinda psycho in itself...huh?..so any ways...I think the author is def. Leading up to some dramatic twist in the plot.... Like all of the girls being in on ali's murder or dissapearence...the author also keeps mentioning in every book how they were all being hypnotized....which is why they don't remember ne thing...n even though Spencer wasn't hypnotized she still is mental....and now thier subconscious is tryn to tell them what they did...or it could b ali sending the masts if she's not dead....either that or I think malissa did it.... She's always in plain sight...that or Ali couldve just fallen in the hole...

Posted by Amber on April 01, 2010 at 10:48 PM EDT #

Omg i cannot believe Billy Ford has allegedly murdered Jenna AND Ali. I always secretly hoped, along with emily i guess, that ali was still alive. In the books she's this omnipresent character, and it'd be so cool for her to actually be in one of the books, and not just in flashbacks! So, does this mean Ian is really dead? I think he is.. and I'm still uber creeped out about Billy being A and murdering Jenna and Ali. Why does he care? Why would he do that? Does anyone have any theories about what happened to Leah? How are Iris and Ali involved? I AM SO CURIOUS ABOUT THESE THINGS! to much suspense!

Posted by Erin on April 10, 2010 at 02:34 AM EDT #

I loved it. :D My mom just so happened to buy me the first four when she went out of town. She came back on a Thursday and I had finished 'Perfect' by Tuesday. :) I just finished Heartless (about 10 minutes ago] and I thought it was amazing. SPOILER ALERT! - So random though who killed Jenna. But why did he kill her? Hmmm? I wanna believe that Ali is alive, so I'm sticking to that. :) I wanna know what will happen when Jason finds out that him and Spencer are brother & sister! Oh, welll; until June 8th. D-Day Counter says -55 days until 'Wanted', and 'Pretty Little Liars' The Show, Can't Wait. :)

Posted by Candace on April 14, 2010 at 10:56 PM EDT #

OMG...okay.so...building off other people's theories i compiled one together that i think makes sense and pulls a lot of stuff together. So since spencer's dad and mrs. D had an affair, Mrs. DiLaurentis might have gotten pregnant and ended up giving birth to a girl---Iris. Obviously, to hush up the affair, they might have sent her to the preserve, where she grew up resenting Ali, the girl who actually got to live a normal life. When Hanna first sees Iris she almost mistakes her for Ali, which is possible because there is a resemblance between them both because they're half sisters. Anyway, so Iris probably tries to creep Ali out (remember the one scene where Ali picked up the phone and there was spooky laughter and she slammed it down and said "its just my stupid brother"...could have been Iris).

Posted by paige on April 22, 2010 at 10:16 PM EDT #

So maybe Iris got tired and fed up of everything that had happened, escaped from the Preserve, and confronted Ali that one day in the woods where there were "two blonde people talking". She might have ended up killing Ali, and the theory gets a little fuzzy here, but she probably ends up in the preserve again somehow. All this is possibly what Ali could have confided in jenna about--her creepy sister and "sibling problems". I think jason is the red herring to all of this, sara makes it SEEM as if he's the one causing all the trouble but it could be another sibling altogether. He probably just tries to balance between the two girls. It gets a little far fetched here, but maybe Spencer's dad or Ali's mom found out about the murder and in order to cover up the affair, paid billy ford to admit to killing ali so that Iris would never be found out about.

Posted by paige on April 22, 2010 at 10:16 PM EDT #

Perhaps Jenna knew about all of this and was going to come forward with the real killer but she too was killed to stop this; maybe billy ford did this on one of their orders. About wilden: someone mentioned it earlier, and i think its a really good theory: he has nothing to do with the murder or anything, maybe he knows leah is somewhere involved in all of this so he's only working on this case to try and find her again. His might be a purely love motivation. I think Melissa is a red herring too; all these characters are too obvious, Sara wants to surprise us not bore us with a theory we've all had.

Posted by paige on April 22, 2010 at 10:17 PM EDT #

I have no idea who A might be though.....maya seems like a good guess, simply because she's acting SO WEIRD, but its in a subtle way, her creepiness isn't described every chapter, its like once or twice in the book. she just acts in a way as if she knows more than she lets on. Other things can fit into this: jason and jenna arguing because jenna wants to come forth about the truth and jason knows it'll ruin his family. Kate did say the reason for Ali and Naomi and Riley's falling out is vitally important so i'll just take a guess at it: maybe they found out about this whole mess and ali couldn't stand that and ditched them? idk lol in that case together, they could be working as A. but they don't seem exactly smart enough haha. I CAN'T WAIT FOR WANTED!! :D JUNE 8TH! i'm sooo excited! hahaha.

Posted by paige on April 22, 2010 at 10:18 PM EDT #

i loved this book and i cant believe everything. i want wanted to come out already. i even did a book reort on it and my teacher wanted to read all the series

Posted by maria on April 25, 2010 at 08:41 PM EDT #

okay, i have the perfect theory. ali had a mental illness and was depressed, and so she went to the preserve at addison stevens for treatment!! remember when emily couldn't contact ali for 2 weeks and her phone went straight to voicemail? ALI WAS AT THE PRESERVE, WHERE SHE MET IRIS!!! (they aren't allowed to have phones there remember?!) also, iris had been in the picture with ali and jenna that A sent to emily so i think that iris and ali were twins and thats what mr hastings meant when he said the kids and not kid! iris is his other daughter with alis mom. im almost positive this theory is right! but im not sure who a is yet and i think it could be leah zooks body in the hole.
