Good Girls Die First
by Foxfield, Kathryn
A group of teenagers thinks they are heading to a fun, exclusive party, but they soon find themselves trapped in a high-stakes game of survival where every secret is a potential death sentence. The atmosphere is thick with paranoia as the facade of the perfect student crumbles under the pressure of isolation. It feels claustrophobic and jagged, moving at a pace that forces you to constantly reassess who is a victim and who is a villain. This is not a gentle mystery; it is a dark, slasher-inspired puzzle that leans into the ugliness of teenage social hierarchies. If you enjoy stories that pit characters against each other in a pressure cooker environment and you do not mind a bit of grit, this will keep you guessing until the final page.
