"The God of the Woods" by Liz Moore

"Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found." - NoveList Plus

"Listen for the Lie" by Amy Tintera

"When Lucy's friend Savvy is murdered, anyone could be the killer, even Lucy, and soon enough a true-crime podcast comes investigating." -NoveList Plus
