"The Puppet's Payback and Other Chilling Tales" by Mary Downing Hahn

"Girl A" by Abigail Dean
Girl A by Abigail Dean is a hard book to read. It is based on a true story of parents who treated their kids in a bad way. It jumps back and forth in time a lot! It is told by each child which makes it very interesting. When both parents are dead, it is time to move on, but who can and who cannot? I forgot I read this one before so this is the second time I've read it! (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"Upgrade" by Blake Crouch
In Upgrade by Blake Crouch, Logan is feeling really good. He sees things in sharper focus and he cannot pinpoint what it is. Truth is, he has been upgraded for a purpose. Other people are dying at an alarming rate! What is going on? Can Logan stop it? I thought this book was really good, especially parts 2 and 3; and Logan was a great character!

"Girl in Snow" by Danya Kukafka
In Girl in Snow by Danya Kukafka, a young teen girl is found murdered in a small town. This novel is told by three people. Cameron, a young boy who people say was stalking the girl; Jade, a girl who went to the same high school and interacted with the victim; and Russ, a cop who is looking for the killer. I thought this book was good! It had good flow and the characters were interesting to say the least. (Gerard's review, 5 stars)
