The Complete Guide to the Pretty Little Liars Series by Sara Shepard

I'm All Booked Up YA

Pretty Little Liars is one of the most popular (and longest) YA book series. Sara Shepard’s book series even spurred multiple TV shows, including one that premiered last summer: Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.

If you’re someone who is familiar with the TV shows, but not the book series, we’ve created this ultimate guide so you can learn about all of the books. The series consists of 16 books, 18 if you also factor in the two companion novels. If you want to know the difference between the book series and the original television show that premiered in 2010, check out: Book vs TV Show: Pretty Little Liars.

We also included a character guide in this post. While we didn’t include all of the characters in the books, we highlighted the ones that play a major role in the entire series.

Warning: Spoilers if you haven’t read the Pretty Little Liars series.
