On My Wish List (61)






On My Wish List is a fun weekly event hosted by Workaday Reads and runs every Saturday. It's where we list all the books we desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.

Title: Bad Girls Don't Die
Author: Katie Alender
Publication Date: April 21, 2009

Synopsis:

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?

I think the first thing that attracted me to this series were the covers. A little weird and creepy, I love it! I'm not sure why I haven't picked these up yet, probably because I'm still desperately trying to keep up with newer releases, but I think I'll try to get them soon. They sound freaky, and a cover like this one deserves to be held (and possible sniffed!). Have you read this series? What did you think?


What is your heart's desire this week? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
