It ramps up in the last 1/3rd of the book but considering how long it takes to get to that point, it might not be worth it. I also spent an obscene amount of time thinking bad thoughts about main character Alexis and wishing she'd stop making stupid decisions. Also, I hate that the character of Zoe Perry was not even developed but stayed at the stereotypical bitter girlfriend level, so the audience would be forced to side with Carter and Alexis due to Zoe's underdevelopment and obnoxious behavior. Ugh. But Lydia was pretty entertaining and so was the yearbook staff, and it did get pretty decent around the final act of the story. So it gets three stars - but not any higher. ( ) (This review can also be found on my blog The (Mis)Adventures of a Twenty-Something Year Old Girl). If you've read my reviews on the first two books in this series, you will know my love affair with the Bad Girls Don't Die series. Katie Alender has fast become one of my top three favourite authors. I loved As Dead As It Gets as much as the first two which is saying something as usually most sequels fail to get my love. Alexis is back in the next installment of Bad Girls Don't Die. This time girls start going missing and Alexis is also being attacked. Alexis discovers that something supernatural is going on. Will Alexis be able to find the missing girls or will Alexis become a ghost herself? I think the title of this book suits more of the series than the actual book itself. I mean, yes it also suits the book, but it suits the series better. I like how Katie Alender has stuck with titles that seem to blend into one another. If you've read my reviews of the other two books in the series, you will see how I feel about the covers. I think the cover is gorgeous, but I just wish there was something more to the cover. I think the girl in the cover is either supposed to be Alexis or a ghost featured in this book. Katie Alender does a fantastic job in the world building and setting in each of her books, and this book is no different. Alender made Alexis' surroundings come to life in great detail. It's quite easy to actual feel as if you are part of Alexis' world. As always, the pacing of this Katie Alender title is perfect. It's not too slow nor is it too fast. The story flows very well. I ended up devouring all three books in this series, not literally though as paper doesn't taste too good, lol. As Dead As It Gets is such an easy read to immerse yourself in. The dialogue and wording are easy to understand. All the teenage characters actually sound like teens. The words seem to just flow into one another. I didn't come across any swearing either. The characters are all well developed as with the other two titles in the series. Alexis is a bit more paranoid in this book, and I also found that she's a bit of a pushover when it comes to Jared. I constantly wanted to yell at her to just leave Jared!! Jared comes across as being the controlling boyfriend type. I really couldn't stand him because of the way he was treating Alexis. My favourite character in this book was Lydia. I loved her sarcasm and humour. We really get to see a lot more of Lydia in this novel, and her personality shines through. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book. It is so good!! I'm hoping this isn't the end of the Bad Girls Don't Die series. If it is, I might have to beg Katie Alender to keep writing more of this series as it is so good! I'd recommend this book to everyone aged 13 . Alexis is well rid of the mystical. Or so she thinks. While she is trying to keep away from the paranormal, it seems that the paranormal is seeking them out. Now wherever she looks, she see ghosts. This book was really good, probably the best in the series. Alexis is still trying to manage everything on her own and it is a big part of her problems in this book. This was also the spookiest book of the series but still not terribly so. I know that teens would really enjoy this series. alexis is now suspected for the murder of lydia small. But this is not the case at all it was a ghost that killed her. Alexis can now see ghost and her best friend ghost belive it or not is lydia small. alexis soon discovers there is an evil ghost taking the girls that get in the way of her and her boyfriend jared. alexis is suspected for the murder of all of them. it turns out that the ghost is jareds ex-girlfriend who wants jared to be happy and she isnt even a ghost its all of jareds pent up feelings. alexis tells him this and he gets mad. so he tries to convince her to commit suicide with him. so alexis crosses the guard rail when he starts to jump she grabs the guardrail and pushes him off. alexis is accused of murder again and her agent gets her cleared. as dead as it gets is just as intense as the first two. it might be even better then the first two. i highly recommend reading this series. its amazing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
