CLOSED!.Trailer Tuesday (2): Sense and Sensibility and Sea.Review: The Sweetheart of Prosper County by Jill S.I wouldn't recommend buying this one though - it is kind of a one read kind of book, in my opinion. I'm excited to see what she comes up with next. Overall, I felt like this was a really enjoyable novel and a very strong debut from Alender. I felt like that kind of detracted from the effect of the novel because I was left with a number of unanswered questions. I felt like there were many things that were glossed over or simply forgotten - like Alexis' parents relationship. My one complaint about Bad Girls Don't Die is the fact that the last few chapters of the book seemed to be really rushed. I used to be really into photography, so the idea of capturing a ghost on film is really spooky to me. I also really enjoyed the haunting and possession aspects of this book, as I'm a big Supernatual (the CW show) fan! There were parts of this book that had me a little creeped out - like in the first chapter when Alexis is taking pictures. At the beginning Alexis has a bit of a smart mouth and I found her conversations with Carter, the student council VP, to be amusing. I think I liked the first half of the book better than the end though, as I felt that the end of the book was a bit rushed. Alexis knows she's the only person who can stop Kasey but what if taht green-eyed girl isn't even Kasey anymore?"īad Girls Don't Die was a great debut novel from Katie Alender! I really enjoyed the dialogue and characters. Doors open and close by themselves, water boils on the unlit stove, and an unplugged air conditioner turns the house cold enough for the girls to see their breath.Īlexis wants to believe it's all i her head, until these seeingly harmless occurences become life-threatening - to her, to her family, and to her budding relationship with the student council vice president. Kasey is acting stranger than ever: her blue eyes go green she uses odd, old-fashioned language - and she even loses track of chunks of time, claiming to know nothing about her weird behavior. When a family argument results in tearful sisterly bonding, Alexis realizes that her life is creeping from dysfunctional to dangerous. "Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school existence: dysfunctional like her parents' marriage her doll-crazy, thirteen-year-old sister, Kasey and even her own antisocial, anti-cheerleader attitude. Main Themes: Family, Love, Hauntings, Spirits, Possession, Friendship
