Bad Girls Don't Die

Bad Girls Don't Die - Katie Alender Bad Girls Dont Die was my first horror/mystery book that I have read, and actually loved! I loved this book because it was super creepy, and for some crazy reason, it felt very... real. Yeah I know, it's about her little sister becoming possessed by a ghost, but the author did such a good job of writing that it seemed like it really could happen. The twists in the book where great! I couldn't wait to know what happened next. I actually found myself making sure my closet was closed every night, because i was afraid somehow the creepy green-eyed doll made its way into my closet...I really liked Alexis, I felt like she was a lot like me. Sarcastic, rude, and rarely, can be charming.Katie Alender didn't make Alexis act like a ditz. She was very smart with everything she did.I also really liked that Alexis became friends with Megan! It was awesome that Megan wasn't just another cheerleader.Usually scary books just have to put a bunch of sexual crap all in it. But this one didn't, Alexis and Carter just kissed once.Speaking of Carter... I was disappointed. I was really excited because his character started out really awesome, but I felt like I was waiting for him. He just wasn't in the book much. Hopefully the author will develop Carter more in the next book. I'm looking forward to it!Abigaile (http://ReadingTeen.net/)
