YA
Narrator Olive doesn't really believe the rumors that Miranda killed her own parents--but something's definitely off. The evil new girl is a familiar type in thrillers, but Australian author Bailey adds the intriguing possibility that Miranda's talent for slowly sucking the life out of those she befriends is literal. Readers will enjoy puzzling through what's real and what isn't.
