<p>*Don’t read if you haven’t read the previous book*</p>

After everything that happened last year with her sister, Kasey, Alexis thought life in her new home would be easy. And obviously, she was wrong. Kasey starts her first year of high school, and right away she makes a new group of friends. It’s really unexpected that these girls start hanging out, considering most of them are polar opposites on the ‘popularity scale’. Though a little doubtful, Alexis is thrilled that her sister made new friends, it’s exactly what she needs after being in a mental hospital for a year. But when the girls of the ‘Sunshine Club’ start transforming from antisocial and nerdy to beautiful and popular in a matter of days, Alexis starts to worry. Apparently the Sunshine Club is a self-improvement club for young girls, but when Alexis investigates, she realizes the girls swore on an oath to a spirit names Aralt. Alexis joins the group herself to figure out what’s going on and hopefully destroy the book before everything turns worse. She then starts making changes in herself just like the others: she gets rid of her pink hair and punk clothes for a more mainstream fashion. And she can’t remember why she wanted to destroy the book in the first place, why would she destroy a spirit who is giving so much to her and her new friends? With Alexis and the other girls under Aralt’s spell, everything goes from bad to cursed.<br />
Katie Alender never disappoints, does she? I absolutely loved this book, just like the first one. Every chapter threw in something new to the plot and kept me completely hooked. It was like a rollercoaster ride. It had its moments where it freaked me out a bit, too! I actually thought this book would be a continuation of the whole ‘possessed-doll’ thing that went on in the first book, so I was happily surprised when there was a whole new ordeal introduced in this book. I am in love with the concept of Aralt and his book. From Bad to Cursed was a fantastic book, and I cannot wait for the next one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My Rating: 5 stars</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1423108779?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=bonebl-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=1423108779"><img border="0" src="http://www.booknerdblog.com/images/5105wHUwjUL._SL110_.jpg"></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=bonebl-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=1423108779" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /><br />
Alexis Warren’s life was dysfunctional, and she knew it. And of course, everything started to change. Her sister, Kasey, started to act really strange. She was using old-fashioned language, her eyes change from blue to bright green, she has blackouts – sometimes not even remembering things she did earlier that day &#8211;  and she was just acting plain strange, even for Kasey standards.<br />
And when Alexis does some research and realizes that her sister could possibly be possessed by an angry spirit, Alexis realizes she has to end everything.<br />
I really, really love this book. I thought it was exceptional. The characters had a lot of personality and the plot was awesome. It actually creeped me out a little bit! Especially when her sister was acting weird… It was so believable. I strongly suggest that you read this book right away!</p>
