YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

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?

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ Thank gosh they moved! I cant remember if the house burned down or not, but even if it didn't they needed out of there. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ UGH! Them playing with that Ouija board is going to come back to bite them in the butt. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ Of course Kasey is messing with another ghost. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Just ordered this so I'll be bit behind you - it should arrive in a couple of days. The house burned down, so it seems bad luck they end up in another haunted environment. (hide spoiler)]

I swear I'll be starting this soon. I just have to get through a couple other books for another challenge and then I'll be here. sorry to be so late :(

Just had a message to say my copy is due tomorrow.

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ I have a feeling it might be Alexis who gets screwed by the supernatural this time. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ Wow! Kasey didnt even take the oath! It really is Alexis in trouble this time. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 31 (view spoiler)[ Lydia is seeming sketchy! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 33 (view spoiler)[ I was not expecting Lydia to be the one to die. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Umm what the heck??? So is Lydia back as a ghost/demon or did she fake her death? I guess it could also be Alexis is going into shock over Lydia death I guess. (hide spoiler)]

Ch1-6. Picking up from the events of book one, but Kasey seems to still have an unnatural interest in the spirit world.

Her obsession with it definitely is a problem. Half the stuff she gets herself into would go away if she dialed it down a bit.

(view spoiler)[ Definitely odd that Megan and Kelsey were quite excited by it, given what they'd been through. (hide spoiler)]

Finally starting. Sorry again for being so late

Katrina, I’m at early stages of this as I was trying to finish other stuff.

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 1 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I’m glad the new place seems to be suiting them well. They deserve and easy go of it after everything that happened in their last house (hide spoiler)]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 3 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Right! I don’t know why Alexis didn’t leave as soon as she thought what they were doing. It’s like they’re asking for trouble (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[ I think it's kind of weird to take random pictures of people because their disability caught her attention. (hide spoiler)]

Katrina wrote: "Chapter 4
[spoilers removed]"

And rude!

Katrina wrote: "Chapter 4

(view spoiler)[ I think that detail was only put in to make sense of the photography competition thing later. (hide spoiler)]

Up to ch11. (view spoiler)[ How are Megan and Alexis getting themselves caught up in this? Why did she take the vow with her left hand? (hide spoiler)]

Up to ch18. (view spoiler)[ Alexis is getting sucked in way deeper than she ought to be. Kind of creepy to see so many of Aralt’s girls around. (hide spoiler)]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 15 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ If so, I'm thinking it will be more subtle as Alexis is determined not to let further events affect them. (hide spoiler)]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I missed this detail! I'd picked up that the right hand was an affectation - doesn't;t seem to make any difference. (hide spoiler)]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 33 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ She played such minor role in it that I really didn't see her desperation. (hide spoiler)]

Finished. Review on home page.

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ I’m finding Kasey to be really aggravating right now. She’s been reserved and moody since she came back home, but wants to act like she’s not the problem (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ Ugh leave it to Kasey. I guess she didn’t learn anything after what happened last time (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[ I don’t like the road Alexis is on :( (hide spoiler)]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I think there’s still a chance for Alexis though. She seems to be aware that she made Carter different and she didn’t get Kasey in trouble, so it seems like at least a part of her is fighting this thing inside her (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 25
(view spoiler)[ wow. Everything’s just going wrong for everybody right now (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 29
(view spoiler)[ Oh no. Is Megan going to kill somebody? (hide spoiler)]

Wasn't expecting that ending!

[spoilers removed]"

Me either. Thats why it shocked me so much.

Katrina wrote: "Chapter 7

Her attitude was annoying to me as well.

Let me know if you guys wanna continue on with the series.

I do! I already own the next book

Was about to ask...yes! Anyone able to set the thread?

Does the first work for everyone?

Yeah that's fine with me

Okay once Karen responds I can set the thread :)
