妳曾經看著鏡子,並痛恨裡頭的倒影嗎?
只要付出一點點代價,我就給妳最完美的自己和最幸運的人生。
艾莉西絲的生活看似已經夠好了:她有體貼帥氣的男友、迷人風趣的摯友、曾經疏遠的父母親現在和好如初、妹妹凱西從療養院出院,準備融入高中生活。艾莉西絲甚至入圍了攝影獎,有機會贏得大筆獎金和進入攝影名校的推薦信。
直到她注意到凱西加入了名為陽光社的社團,社團裡的女孩們似乎都脫胎換骨,生活變得異常順遂,而這似乎和一本神祕的古書脫不了關係。與此同時,艾莉西絲在幫忙妹妹尋找走失小狗時,曾在樹林中撞見一個陰影般的巨大生物,懷疑事有蹊蹺的艾莉西絲也加入了社團,想一探究竟,結果竟然連她也開始著迷於身為陽光社女孩所帶來的力量,她越來越容光煥發,生活上的所有不如意也都迎刃而解,她知道只要繼續服從現在主宰她生命的那股力量,就有大好前途等著她。
然而,在那之前,她們必須先找到最後一名社員,必須再付出最後一點點代價,才能「結業」並迎向美好人生,事情卻在這時開始失控, 一名陽光社的女孩忽然發狂,使用捲髮棒時把自己的頭皮都給燒焦了;艾莉西絲還在其中一個陽光社女孩家中發現堆積如山的生肉;最可怕的是,她發現許久之前似乎也有一群和她們一樣的女孩,許多人都慘遭橫死……
艾莉莉絲能在一切太遲之前發現古書的祕密嗎?
森林裡的陰影怪物是什麼東西?
當她們找到最後一名社員時,會發生什麼事?
她們必須付出什麼樣的代價?又要如何才能安全脫身?
[各界好評]
猶如史蒂芬金的經典傳統,艾蘭德會讓你必須開燈睡覺。
―紐約時報暢銷作家,《美麗魔物》作者卡蜜.嘉西亞、瑪格麗特.史托爾
艾蘭德的第一本小說不但是個懸疑故事,更是一趟超自然之旅。這將會是一票YA小說中極受歡迎的異數。

經典青少年鬼故事的粉絲一定會很喜愛這本內容紮實的新作。―《出版人週刊》
Alexis is the last girl you'd 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 an evil spirit, then institutionalized. Alexis is thrilled when her sister joins a club; new friends are just what Kasey needs. It's strange, though, to see how fast the girls in The Sunshine Club go from dorky and antisocial to gorgeous and popular. Soon Alexis learns that the girls have pledged an oath to a seemingly 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. At first, their connection with Aralt seems harmless. Alexis trades in her pink hair and punky clothes for a mainstream look, and quickly finds herself reveling in her newfound elegance and success. Instead of fighting off the supernatural, Alexis can hardly remember why she joined in the first place. Surely it wasn't to destroy Aralt...why would she hurt someone who has given her so much, and asked for so little in return?
