The Bad Girls Don’t Die series by Katie Alender is a YA horror trilogy that blends ghost stories with the everyday pressures of being a teenager. The first book introduces Alexis Warren, a girl who would rather take photographs than fit in at school, and her younger sister Kasey, whose odd new habits turn out to have a very dark explanation.
Across the three novels, Alexis goes from skeptic to reluctant ghost hunter, dealing with possession, cursed objects, and spirits that refuse to stay buried. Published between 2009 and 2012, the series earned multiple YA reading list honors and found a wide audience through Scholastic book clubs. The books work best read in order, as each entry builds on the events and character relationships established in the previous one.
