Five Sunnybrook cheerleaders, including Monica's older sister, died within a month of one another in three separate incidents: car accident, murder, suicide. Five years later, Monica finds her sister's phone and mysterious letters in her stepdad's desk. She suspects that the deaths weren't as clear-cut as they seemed--and that a killer is still on the loose. This dark and fast-paced thriller provides plenty of chills.

Escaping a tumultuous home life with her mother, Kacey finds stability in Wisconsin with her father and new stepfamily. Kacey even quickly makes friends--but when one of them disappears, Kacey becomes embroiled in the investigation and gains new insights into the friends' motivations. Some narrative choices feel overly flummoxing, but fans of psychological thrillers will nevertheless respond to this dark, twisty mystery.

As children, Tessa and friend Callie testified in a murder case, securing a guilty verdict for a serial killer. Now, Tessa takes a trip back to her old Pennsylvania hometown and becomes convinced the testimony she gave was false--and that the real killer may still be loose. Though slow-moving, this novel has appeal for fans of Barry Lyga's I Hunt Killers series and other psychological thrillers.
