Description

From award-winning author Mindy McGinnis comes a mesmerizing YA psychological mystery following a teen girl who is grappling with the death of her brother as she starts a new job in the caverns of Ohio-only to become the number one suspect in her coworker's murder. Perfect for fans of Courtney Summers and Kathleen Glasgow. Neely's monsters don't always follow her rules, so when the little girl under her bed, the man in her closet, and the disembodied voice that shadows her every move become louder, she knows she's in trouble. With a history of mental illness in her family and the suicide of her older brother heavy on her mind, Neely takes a job as a tour guide in the one place her monsters can't follow-the caverns. There . . . she meets Mila. Mila is everything Neely isn't-beautiful, strong, and confident. As the two become closer, Neely's innocent crush grows into something more. When a midnight staff party exposes Neely to drugs, she follows Mila's lead . . . only to have her hallucinations escalate. When Mila is found brutally murdered in the caverns, Neely has to admit that her memories of that night are vague at best. With her monsters now out in the open and her grip on reality slipping, Neely must figure out who killed Mila . . . and face the possibility that it might have been her. "Striking a careful balance of dry humor and occasionally harrowing depictions of Neely's mental health challenges, McGinnis delivers a compassionate and gripping read." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In perfect form, McGinnis drags you to the depths of a dark mind and doesn't let you go." - Francesca Zappia, award-winning author of Eliza and Her Monsters "McGinnis invites you to venture beyond the ordinary, and step into the world of the misunderstood. I devoured this book." - M-E Girard, award-winning author of Girl Mans Up Praise for A Long Stretch of Bad Days: "McGinnis's ability to take readers on an emotional rollercoaster is on full display here . . . Another incredibly wild ride from McGinnis; a first purchase for all teen collections." - School Library Journal (starred review) "A Long Stretch of Bad Days uses humor and poignant emotion to build a well-crafted murder mystery that is hard to put down and even harder to forget." - BookPage "McGinnis can be counted upon for delivering gritty truths wrapped in compelling stories, and readers love her for it." - Booklist "Wickedly comic dialogue and interesting characters-particularly wonderfully lewd feminist Bristal-will keep readers engaged through the many twists and turns." - Kirkus Reviews "Lydia and Bristal's wry banter, their polar opposite characterizations, and their evolving, convoluted friendship lend a refreshing and dark joviality to this cleverly realized feminist thriller." - Publishers Weekly Praise for the Last Laugh: "The overall effect this time ups the mystery, intensity, and horror (emphasis on the latter!), with a satisfying ending delivering answers about ongoing family questions and clashes. Masterfully modernizing the gothic horror genre, McGinnis outdoes herself. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A sequel that is just as thrilling and dark, if not as cohesive, as its predecessor. Definitely hand over to readers of the first book." - School Library Journal Praise for the Initial Insult: "A gripping modern retelling of 'The Cask of Amontillado.' Gritty and heart-rending. Well-versed Poe fans will gobble this up, but the heartache, revenge, and ­anger that ooze from these pages should ­entice any reader." - School Library Journal (starred review) "An intricate, duology-opening story of mystery and revenge by McGinnis with significant nods to Edgar Allan Poe's macabre work. An engaging tale." - Publishers Weekly "If Edgar Allan Poe came back to write the scariest high school murder story ever, it probably wouldn
