Alexis is your typical outcast teenager complete with pink
hair and to make things worse, she lives in a creepy old
house. Infamous for standing up for her friend Beth against
the cheerleaders, Alexis is trying to survive normal life
with her overworked mother, emotionally distant father, &
weirdo 12 year old doll obsessed sister, Kasey.
Things start happening in the house & soon, Alexis notices
that Kasey's blue eyes shift to green. The house turns so
cold the girls can see their breath and Alexis starts
noticing Kasey hoarding information on people in their town.
Before you anti-horror story, romance loving, people turn
away - there is a romance intertwined in the story. I
enjoyed reading a scary story with a budding romance. It
gave the book a nice break from the scary parts so I could
mentally recover before the next creepy bits jumped out at
me.
Possession is a hard subject to write, but BAD GIRLS DON'T
DIE nails
it. Unable to put the book down, yet shivering every so
often from the thrills and chills, I read the entire book in
24 hours. This is a must read for any ghost story fan. You
get your thrills and chills plus the added bonus of love
too.
Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school
existence.
Dysfunctional like her parents' marriage; her doll-crazy
twelve-year-old sister, Kasey; and even her own anti-social,
anti-cheerleader attitude. When a family fight results in
some tearful sisterly bonding, Alexis realizes that her life
is creeping from dysfunction into danger. Kasey is acting
stranger than ever: her blue eyes go green sometimes; she
uses old-fashioned language; and she even loses track of
chunks of time, claiming to know nothing about her strange
behavior.
Their old house is changing, too. Doors open and close by
themselves; water boils on the unlit stove; and an unplugged
air conditioner turns the house cold enough to see their
breath in.
Alexis wants to think that it's all in her head, but soon,
what she liked to think of as silly parlor tricks are
becoming life-threatening--to her, her family, and to her
budding relationship with the class president. Alexis knows
she's the only person who can stop Kasey -- but what if that
green-eyed girl isn't even Kasey anymore?
