Just 2 words: Wow, Awesome!

I was kind of worried to start this book. Let's just say, the second book wasn't that good (second book in a series curse), and though I looked forward to this book, I was hesistant.

But I am glad I bought the book and read it. It was fantastic.
Lydia (our lovely ghost) was wonderful, so glad it turned out
Spoiler she wasn't the cause of anything.


Jared was just plain creepy and obsessive. And
Spoilercontrolling/calling a poltergeist *shivers*, drugging Alexis and more stuff.
I kept hoping she would break with him. I mean why would you stay with someone who wants to know exactly where you go, where you are and wants you to be at his beck and call 24/7/365. :\

The mystery was great, and there were quite a few good scary moments.

And I loved the ending, though I feel there is still room for more books, or atleast one.

My favorite part of AiZ was probably the twist on Alice in Wonderland. Ironically, even though the title has it in the name, I kept forgetting that this book was based off of AiW while I was reading it. (That may be partially due to the fact that I read this in one afternoon, 85% of that time being in a barely lit room. Okay, I have no idea how that’s related) I appreciate that although the roots clearly come from Alice in Wonderland, the story is still completely its own. My least favorite of AiZ is definitely the title. I think the cover is actually pretty clever, but…

As Dead As It Gets by Katie Alender was a great finale to her Bad Girls Don’t Die series. I was curious what creepy situation Alender would come up with for the final installment and I wasn’t disappointed. I’m a big fan of Alender’s writing, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed all of her books that I’ve read. They’re fast paced, succinct, and just creepy enough to keep you wondering whether or not anything supernatural is lurking in the corners as we speak. If you’re a fan of YA horror, I would definitely give this series, or any of Katie Alender’s other books, a read!

It was good, but I really do t think it was as good as the first two books. I actually kept thinking throughout "oh jeez not another one, do they never learn"

I liked the characters I. This series, the story was well told but I don't think I'd be reading any more if they were to happen, well that's a lie actually I would, to see if got as good as the first 2. Read it give a go, you might enjoy it more than I did, hence the 4stars
