      "Alexis battles a more powerful ghost than she's ever faced before... and one whose fate is tied to hers in ways she couldn't possibly imagine"--

      As Dead as It Gets
    • 2011

      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?

      Nenávist je nesmrtelná. Alex si myslí, že posedlost její mladší sestry Kasey starou panenkou je jen bláznivý rozmar. Pak se ale začnou dít další záhadné věci: dveře se samy od sebe otevírají a zavírají, voda na vypnutém vařiči vře. Dům se mění a mění se i Kasey. Její oči už nejsou modré, ale zelené. Mluví archaickým jazykem a na některé věci si vůbec nepamatuje. Roztomilá holčička je pryč, a nová Kasey – je rozzlobená.
