Bad Girls Club
By Judy Gregerson
Destiny has a secret. She’s been told not to tell anyone what happened to her, her little sister, and her mother at Crater Lake. Or that her mother is mentally ill and hits her little sister. But the secret is killing her and every day she remembers the bad thing she did at Crater Lake. Her boyfriend, Joshua, and best friend, Chloe, don’t understand. When she pulls away from them, and refuses to leave the house, they don’t realize that she’s trying to fix the mistake she made. They only know that she’s slipping away. But trying to hold her family together doesn’t work. Destiny feels a darkness in the house and when Mom gets out of the psychiatric hospital, it takes over. First it attacks her little sister, and then it comes for her. Destiny has to choose whether to expose the lies and the darkness or tell the truth about what happened at Crater Lake. Can the truth really set her free? Or will she remain what her mother has always called her--a bad girl?

Bad Girls Club is as riveting as Dave Pelzer's A Child Called It books, but is far better at exploring the psychological reasons why the abused remain so loyal to their abusers. This is definitely a novel all young adults should read!" -- Midwest Book Review
Teens in similar abuse situations will find much to empathize with in (Destiny's) story...it (Bad Girls Club) would find an audience with teens in need or those who enjoy dystopian literature. -- VOYA
