Alexis is the last girl you'd expect to sell her soul. She already
has everything she needs--an adorable boyfriend, the perfect best
friend, and a little sister who's finally recovering after being
possessed by an evil spirit, then institutionalized.
Alexis is thrilled when her sister joins a club; new friends are
just what Kasey needs. It's strange, though, to see how fast the
girls in The Sunshine Club go from dorky and antisocial to gorgeous
and popular. Soon Alexis learns that the girls have pledged an oath
to a seemingly benevolent spirit named Aralt. Worried that Kasey's
in over her head again, Alexis and her best friend Megan decide to
investigate by joining the club themselves. At first, their
connection with Aralt seems harmless. Alexis trades in her pink
hair and punky clothes for a mainstream look, and quickly finds
herself reveling in her newfound elegance and success.
Instead of fighting off the supernatural, Alexis can hardly
remember why she joined in the first place. Surely it wasn't to
destroy Aralt...why would she hurt someone who has given her so
much, and asked for so little in return?
The other orphans say Margot is lucky. Lucky to survive the
horrible accident that killed her family. Lucky to have her own
room because she wakes up screaming every night. And finally, lucky
to be chosen by a prestigious family to live at their remote
country estate. But it wasn't luck that made the Suttons rescue
Margot from her bleak existence at the group home. Margot was
handpicked to be a companion to their silent, mysterious daughter,
Agatha. At first, helping with Agatha - and getting to know her
handsome older brother - seems much better than the group home. But
soon, the isolated, gothic house begins playing tricks on Margot's
mind, making her question everything she believes about the
Suttons... and herself. Margot's bad dreams may have stopped when
she came to live with Agatha - but the real nightmare has just
begun.
It's been three months since Alexis helplessly witnessed Lydia
Small's violent death, and all she wants is for her life to return
to normal.
But normal people don't see decaying bodies haunting photographs.
Normal people don't have to deal with regular intrusions from
Lydia's angry ghost, sometimes escalating to terrifying attacks.
At first, it seems that Lydia wants revenge on Alexis alone. But a
girl from school disappears one night, and Alexis spots one of
Lydia's signature yellow roses lying on the girl's dresser the next
day. Soon, it becomes clear that several of Alexis's friends are in
danger, and that she's the only person who can save them. But as
she tries to intervene, Alexis realizes that her enemy is a much
more powerful ghost than she's ever faced before... and that its
fate is tied to hers in ways she couldn't possibly imagine.
Not even in her worst nightmares.
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?
From Edgar Award winning author Katie Alender comes this
delightfully creepy ghost story about Paris, murder, and one killer
queen. 21st century girl. 18th century ghost. Heads will roll!
Colette Iselin is so excited to go to Paris on a class trip. There
will be handsome boys, chocolate croissants, and the Eiffel Tower.
And maybe she'll even learn something about her family's French
roots. But a series of gruesome murders are taking place across the
city of light, putting everyone on edge. And as she tours museums
and palaces, Colette keeps seeing a strange vision: a pale woman in
a ball gown and powdered wig, who looks suspiciously like Marie
Antoinette. Colette knows her popular, status-obsessed friends
won't believe her, so she seeks out the help of a charming French
boy. Together, they uncover a shocking secret involving a dark,
hidden history. When Colette realizes she herself may hold the key
to the mystery, her own life is in danger. . . . Now with a
refreshed cover look!
