Book Review - Bad Girls Don't Die

Bad Girls Don’t Die by Katie Alender

If you like creepy, scary stories – this is the book for you. Alexis is 15 years old and is very interested in doing her own things. She doesn’t really like the cheerleaders and has alienated herself from everyone else at school. She has a younger sister, Kasey, who she tolerates. Alexis is considered a bad student – she scares people, so when things start going wrong – people look at her. She isn’t the one doing it. Something is wrong with her sister, her little sister has changed so much. She has a bad attitude. Bad things start to happen all around Alexis – her father is in a serious car accident, her things are being stolen and destroyed, and she knows it has something to do with her sister.

Alexis is worried about Kasey. Kasey is changing and becoming very rude. Kasey isn’t acting like herself. When her normally blue eyes turn green, trouble always follows. What is wrong with Kasey? Can Alexis figure out what is wrong before it is too late?
