Alexis and her sister Kasey (Bad Girls Don't Die) have joined the innocuous-sounding Sunshine Club. In service to a spirit called Aralt, club members gain beauty, smarts, and success--but at a price. In this suspenseful, well-plotted novel, Alender dexterously juxtaposes Alexis's desire to both resist and give in to Aralt while conveying the girls' disturbing but believable need for perfection.
