Katie Alender - From Bad to Cursed

This was a refreshing change from the usual attempts at paranormal by teen authors. No smooth sailing where the heroine always wins. The whole book is a roller-coaster ride of scariness. Even at the end I wasn't sure who had won, or if anyone had won - I was too anxious over the final horror! Ghosts! Is there anything that terrifies us more?

Alender writes a brilliant novel. This is her second in the Bad Girls Don't Die series. I had a lot of fun reading it and wondering and imagining and checking under my bed before I went to sleep. I'm really looking forward to reading the third book in the series.

If you like thrillingly scary novels, without the silly shock factor or re-used plots, this is the series to read. I thought book one was scary, but book two definitely wins the fright award. There's nothing scarier than not knowing you're kind-of-possessed.
