From Bad to Cursed

9/10 stars!

I got this book as an ARC in a local bookstore of mine.

My reaction when I saw that they had it was quite literally "Oh. OH. Oh my gosh. Oh wow." Followed by excessive smiling and hugging of the book to my chest. 

HERE you can read my review of Bad Girls Don’t Die, the first book.

Alexis has run into the supernatural yet again, just when she thought everything was going to be okay. My dad's reaction when I read him the back-cover description was "What is up with her town?" I giggled in response to this, but it is funny how Alexis' (the main character) town seems to have some sort of magnetic appeal for the supernatural. 

There is something about Katie Alender's writing that causes me to stop breathing while I read her books. Unfailingly it happened once again with this book. Perhaps three times or more!

If one dislikes creepy books, then they ought to read this with caution, for there are moments of disturbing revelations and scary events. It is still a wonderful book though, and all who believe themselves to be in the appropriate age group should give it a shot.

So, in summary... 

What did I like about this book? I think the question ought to be phrased more along the lines of what didn’t I like? This book will keep you up, not wanting to put it down, wondering what would happen next. 

I am back! (and reviewing!)

So, today was PSATs. They went well. (or so I hope)

(:

And now! BAD GIRLS DON'T DIE!

Another amazing novel. So far all my reviews on here have been raves, and this book deserves no less.

This one has a story that goes with it as well. Like with Looking for JJ I went to Barnes and Noble many times before choosing it. The reason for this was because I usually do not buy hardcover books.

I am VERY glad to have purchased it. The story grabs you in, from the first sentence up until the shocking and creepy ending. Alexis is so real, as are all the rest of the characters. The description Alexis gives of taking photos was beautiful. Being a photographer myself, it is nice to see such detail paid to something that usually gets overlooked.

Now, most books do not scare me. But, as I was reading this one it gave my the jitters, and I found myself looking around my room to make sure no one else was there. Thanks Katie for creating a book that actually scared me! :)

Another WONDERFUL thing about this book is I could not guess what happened next, another nice treat that I do not often come across with mystery novels. The suspense kept me wanting to read more and more, desperate to find out what happened next to Alexis, Kasey and those around them.

Brilliant novel. Creepy, detailed, and fast-paced.

Katie is writing a sequel to BGDD, and also a third one in order to make it a trilogy. Though these will not be released for another year or so, I cannot wait!
