### Review
"After finishing the book, I went back to re-read the prologue to see how fine the ruse was set up from the beginning. It was intentionally written to lead the reader astray or lost in the reader's own assumption until the end of the chapter. The protagonists have their fateful meet up within the first few pages and it all circles back with sweet serendipity and intrinsic grit. There's a slow build up of emotions that's par the course for the strong, silent type Matthew, but Charlie's got spunk and that's the real fun meat of all of the author's books- the kickass, complex heroine. There's a languid pace for the country setting of the story juxtaposed to the rusted star of Chicago and Prohibition. Action-packed with adrenaline and curveballs to the plot, it's a sweet, charming read to soothe the soul. It's the cozy sweater of the author's thus far published books, perfect for this upcoming winter." - Ashley N. Views: 475
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? Views: 475
