A TikTok-famous island getaway with a luxurious mansion sounds like a dream, until it becomes a nightmare. When six teens arrive at the remote location for the ultimate influencer retreat, things go south quickly. Secrets surface, alliances crack, and one by one, they start dying. Fast-paced and wickedly smart, this slasher-style
thriller blends modern internet fame with old-school murder mystery vibes. Fans of The Cabin in the Woods and One of Us Is Lying will eat this up.

History buffs and murder mystery lovers, meet your new obsession. Set during WWII in blackout-era London, this novel follows Mary Churchill (yes, that Churchill) as she attempts to unravel the real-life horrors of the Blackout Ripper. With bombs dropping above and a killer on the loose below, the stakes have never been higher. Gritty, gripping, and rich in historical detail, this one’s perfect for fans of "A Study in Charlotte" and "Stalking Jack the Ripper."
Catch Your Death by Ravena Guron
September 2, 2025
Family drama meets murder mystery in this Agatha Christie-style thriller with a fresh YA twist. When the prickly and powerful matriarch of the Vanforte family dies by poison during a "family gathering" at their secluded estate, it’s up to the guests, including some reluctant teens, to solve the crime. Locked in, cut off from the outside world, and surrounded by secrets, no one can be trusted. A perfect mix of "Knives Out" meets "We Were Liars."
