Dead Girls Can't Tell Secrets
Piper's fall was no accident. Did someone want her dead? It's up to her sister to discover the truth in this shocking new thriller with an unreliable narrator, from the acclaimed author of Little Creeping Things.
Piper Sullivan was in a strange hiking accident last month and has been in a coma ever since. Her older sister, Savannah, can't pretend to be optimistic about it; things look bad. Piper will likely never wake up, and Savannah will never get any answers about what exactly happened.
But then Savannah finds a note in Piper's locker, inviting Piper to a meeting of their school's wilderness club...at the very place and on the very day that she fell. Which means there was a chance that Piper wasn't alone. Someone might've seen something. Worse, someone might've done something. But who would want to hurt the perfect Piper Sullivan...and why?
To discover the truth, Savannah joins the club on their weekend-long camping trip on the same mountain where her sister fell. But she better be careful; everyone in the club is a suspect, and everyone seems to be keeping secrets about that tragic day.
And Savannah? She's been keeping secrets, too...

Praise for Little Creeping Things:
"Little Creeping Things, with its cast of creepy and untrustworthy characters, will satisfy the appetites of all manner of mystery fans."--Booklist
"Ichaso's debut is a riveting whodunnit... a psychological thriller worthy of mystery aficionados."--School Library Journal
"The reveal...is both well earned and eerie."--Kirkus
"Little Creeping Things is a stunning debut in every sense of the word. From the chilling opening pages to the jaw-dropping final reveal, the pacing is relentless, the twists dizzying. Cass is the best kind of unreliable narrator, delightfully acerbic and hopelessly sincere even when she isn't telling the truth. Chelsea Ichaso has without a doubt written the breakout thriller of the year."--Dana Mele, author of People Like Us

The book cover and Tyler was where most of my points went! This book started out great as Savannah being very guilty about what had happened to her sister and finding a note of someone threatening Piper to meet her at the place where she supposedly committed "suicide". But did she?! Savannah is not so sure anymore and she is determined to find out who and why that person wanted Piper out.
It started out as I had hoped but then throughout the middle of the story, I was just annoyed at Savannah as we find out more and more about her and Piper, There was a point that I wanted to close the book and be finished because all that was happening was S accusing everyone that they were the culprit who wanted Piper gone until that person's secret came out and lo and behold they were not there with Piper at that moment in time. I kept on reading because I really wanted to know who it was and why and the story picked up again at the end, but wow! I was not expecting who it was at all because i never suspected them! Once S found out who it was, it was pretty anticlimactic ...I felt like it kinda fell flat once we knew who it was and there was no dramatics, The epilogue was a nice and hopeful ending to this story.
