"  Attention, Pretty Little Liars fans! Sara Shepard, author of the books on which the show is based, has a new series coming out, and it sounds ~*sCaNdaLoUs*~. The book, titled The Perfectionists, is set to debut in October, and according to MTV, follows a group of girls trying to get revenge on a popular mean guy who ends up dead before they have the chance. I believe it was Charles Dickens who said, &amp;quot;If a teen doesn&amp;#039;t get murdered in the first few chapters, it&amp;#039;s not really a book.&amp;quot;  Shepard described the characters as being &amp;quot;a lot darker&amp;quot; than the ladies of Rosewood, and said, &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s more just really scary stuff going on just right from the get-go.&amp;quot; Yes, that sounds about right. MTV has an excerpt of the first book, which includes the sentence &amp;quot;And someone&amp;#039;s about to get burned&amp;quot; in the third paragraph. Never change, Sara Shepard. Never change.
