Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender

Age Level: Teen
Format: Book

Alexis thought she lived the typical dysfunctional life of a teenager. She has no real friends at school, keeps her parents at arm's length, and has a younger sister that is overly obsessed with dolls. But then strange things start to happen at home and it doesn't take Alexis long to figure out that her house is haunted and her sister is possessed.

I loved this book. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. The tone of the novel is so hauntingly dark and hilariously snarky at the same time that it has a very creepy undertone to it. I enjoyed the journey that the reader is taken on as Alexis figures out what's going on in her house and through that, finally comes into her own.

The end of the book is a little bit cheesy, but I was able to forgive that simply because the rest of the book was great.

Reviewed by Sara.
