Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender
3.0
Classified under the "horror and suspense" genre, Bad Girls Don't Die is hardly as scary as the cover makes it seem. With a mom who is hardly home, a dad who wants to be her best friend but can't, and a little sister who is possessed, Alexis is left with no other option: she has to team up with the person she least expects. Finding out who now controls Kasey leads Alexis to find many truths about herself and the people around her, including the rather attractive and preppy "Young Republican" Carter Blume.
I thought this book was alright, although it could have had some improvement with the paranormal aspect. I have a feeling this book was aimed toward the younger young adults, so the horror may be more apparent there. I did enjoy the plot, it was interesting with some unexpected twists, but the characters are not as developed as they could be. I would like to have seen Kasey more before she becomes possessed so myself as a reader could compare the difference rather than have Alexis just tell me how "this was not like Kasey". Alexis with her pink hair seems really interesting, and there seems to be more to her than Katie Alender is telling us in this novel. I hope she reveals more of her character in the second book of this series.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery, but is afraid of diving straight into the hard-core paranormal books. It's the perfect book to ease into this genre with because while it is not too scary, it still has aspects of the horror genre.
