Dead Girls Walking by Sami Ellis

4.0

This YA Horror book had me feeling all the creepy crawlies, making sure the lights were on, and checking over my shoulder. The banter in this book gave me several good chuckles.

Temple Baker is signed up to be a camp counselor at a horror fan's summer camp geared towards young women of color. The twist is that the camp is on the haunted property in the woods of Virginia that Temple's family has lived on for generations. Temple's father was arrested and confessed to killing 10 people on this property. However, Temple is convinced that her father was possessed by a demon and didn't truly commit the murders.

Temple's father has given her clues that require her to investigate the crime scenes. The only way for her to access the property without drawing attention is to attend the summer camp and sneak off when she can.
