From Printz Honor winning author Lily Anderson comes a young adult horror about seventeen-year-old Faye and her friends who try to survive the summer when their theater camp turns into a real-life horror show.
This summer’s production is to die for.
The Ghostlight Youth Theater Camp isn’t the best program in the world, but to Faye, it’s home. Every summer since junior high, Faye and her friends have come together for a month-long musical intensive. For her last year before graduation, Faye’s finally ready to take center stage as her true Afro-Latina self and break out of her good-girl princess roles.
But as Faye steps into her spotlight, complications arise. Suddenly, she's competing with her BFF for lead roles, and distracted by the attentions of the new camp hottie.
Even when the drama turns deadly, Faye remains determined to make this the best production the Ghostlight has ever seen. It must be a coincidence that the stagehands keep disappearing and having gruesome accidents, right? But dark secrets are hiding behind the scenes, and opening night might turn out to be a bloodbath. Lights, curtains...murder!
Genre: Horror, thriller

The week before Luna’s twin sister Solina was supposed to return for her final semester at Kingswood Academy, an elite boarding school in the Washington mountains, she told Luna she was dropping out. When Luna refused to let her throw away her future, Solina disappeared.
Twelve hours later, she was dead.
Luna knows Solina’s death wasn’t an accident, even if the police say otherwise. There’s a reason Solina didn’t want to go back to Kingswood, and Luna knows she’ll find the truth there. All she has to do is become Solina. Playing her sister comes easy, but finding answers is far from it. Between the cunning, cruel people Solina called her friends, Luna's budding feelings for her roommate, and the harsh realization that Solina had dark secrets, getting to the bottom of her sister’s murder is more difficult than Luna could have ever anticipated. But when you have nothing left to lose, you’re willing to do anything to get what you want.
There’s no limit to how far Luna will go to avenge her sister—even if she has to burn all of Kingswood to the ground.
Genre: Mystery, thriller
