    Bad Girls Don't Die ,From Bad To Cursed is about a bad spirit here is the description: Alexis is the last girl you would 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 and evil spirit. Alexis is thrilled when her sister joins a club: new friends are just what Kasey needs. It's strange though how fast the girls in the sunshine go from dorky and antisocial to gorgeous and popular. Then Alexis learns that the girls have pledged an oath to a 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 . Soon, Alexis trades in her pink hair and punky clothes for a mainstream look, and finds herself reveling in her newfound elegance and success. The club's connection with Aralt seems harmless, and before long, Alexis can hardly remember why she joined in the first place. Surely it wasn't to destroy Aralt...... Why would she want to hurt someone who has given her so much and asked for so little in return.... I LOVED THE BOOK IT'S THE SEQUEL OF BAD GIRLS DON'T DIE... and it's called From Bad To Cursed the author is Katie Alender.

    -the leviathan series by scott westerfeld

    Prince Aleksander, would-be heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, is on the run. His own people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he has is a battletorn war machine and a loyal crew of men.

    Deryn Sharp is a commoner, disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She’s a brilliant airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being discovered.

    With World War I brewing, Alek and Deryn’s paths cross in the most unexpected ways, taking them on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure that will change both their lives forever.

    (i LOVE this series)

    - harry potter by jk Rowling

    -the hobbit by j.r.r. tolkien

    its a easy read but a great story! the movie also just came out

    -Gallagher Girls series by ally carter

    Cammie Morgan goes to the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women-aka a spy school. Cammie may be fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways (three of which involve a piece of uncooked spaghetti), but the Gallagher Academy hasn’t prepared her for what to do when she meets an ordinary boy who thinks she’s an ordinary girl. Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, and track him through a mall without him ever being the wiser, but can she have a regular relationship with a regular boy who can never know the truth about her? Cammie may be an elite spy in training, but in her sophomore year, she’s doing something riskier than ever—she’s falling in love.

    (Ally carter just came out with a cross over)

    -Heist Society by ally carter

    i personaly think this series is better.

    When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own—scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected.

    Soon, Kat’s friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring Kat back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat’s father isn’t just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.

    For Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it’s a spectacularly impossible job? She’s got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family’s history–and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way.

    -percy jackson by rick riordan
