Originally published in 2013 as Dangerous Girls, this thriller inspired by the stories of Amanda Knox and Natalee Holloway and is so twisted that it will wrench your guts into over thinking every possibility on earth to survive through it. The narrator is so unreliable that often you'll find yourself questioning what you believe and where you stand with every turn of the page, right until the jaw-dropping ending you've got to read to believe.

This one is beloved by those who fancy the helpless victim turning into a feministic superpower, the girl who claw her way back from the brink and won't rest until revenge is served right in her cracked and bloody hands. Live the experience through the podcast host who follows teen Sadie's journey to track down the man she knows is responsible for killing her sister and bringing him to justice the way the law never will.

Pretending someone dead is alive? Check! Benefiting off that pretense? Check! Getting into incredibly dangerous situations as a result? Check! Co-conspirator romance potential? Check! And yeah, there's a lot more innocence to these characters and a recording booth is a far cry from a glass cage in a basement, but Jackson writes master manipulators, passion for the arts, and violent crime with the best of them.

Scarlett suffered one hell of a messed-up childhood; in her case, that meant being kidnapped from her family when she was a little girl. But now she's escaped and she's ready to get on with her life...until another girl goes missing at the park where she works. And that's only the beginning of the saga of Scarlett's reinvention, because when her past comes back to haunt her, all bets are off when it comes to how far she'll go to stay safe.
