The highly-anticipated and brilliantly crafted crime-thriller sequel to
the no.1 debut of 2019, A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER
Pip Fitz-Amobi is not a detective anymore.
With the help of Ravi Singh, she released a true-crime podcast about
the murder case they solved together last year. The podcast has gone
viral, yet Pip insists her investigating days are behind her.
But she will have to break that promise when someone she knows goes
missing. Jamie Reynolds has disappeared but the police won’t do
anything about it. And if they won’t look for Jamie then Pip will,
uncovering more of her town’s dark secrets along the way… and this time
EVERYONE is listening.
But will she find him before it’s too late?

Jennifer’s Body meets Heartstopper in this terrifying, tender, and
bitingly hilarious supernatural horror about a boy who must save his
best friend from a demon that wants to steal his heart—literally.
Ren says he’s in love, but Colin knows better.
Sure, he can't remember much about how it all began. But he remembers
dancing at a club he and Ren were too young to dance in. He remembers
the boys who harassed them on their way home. He remembers a ghost
emerging from the trees, and a white hand reaching for Ren through a
thick fog. What Colin can’t remember is what happened next. Only two
things are clear to him: Ren is different now, and the new guy vying
for his heart is not who he claims to be.
With the help of two unlikely allies and a cranky old medium, Colin
must learn to conquer his self-doubt and save his best friend from a
love that could cost him his life.
Equal parts campy and bewitching, Corey Liu’s debut YA novel explores
