Publisher's summary

Jessica Goodman meets Jesse Q. Sutanto in this twisty enemies-to-lovers thriller, full of secrets, privilege, and murder.

Eighteen-year-old Addie Blackwood regrets nothing more than one horrible, mistake-filled night last summer. Hours after she hurled the worst words she could think of at her sister, Fiona was found dead at the bottom of a ravine. The police ruled her death an accident, but Addie’s never bought it. Her ballet-prodigy sister didn’t slip and fall; she was pushed. And Addie’s number one suspect: Thatcher Montgomery, the rich kid down the street who always had a thing for Fiona.

But when Thatcher is found dead in the same ravine, Addie must admit she was wrong. And now her only ally (and alibi) in catching the real killer is none other than her childhood rival, Seth Montgomery—Thatcher’s cousin and the boy she’s always loved to hate. Arguing with Seth is easy; working with him without thinking of that night last summer, near impossible.

As Addie and Seth dodge corrupt police and his even more corrupt family, their investigation pulls them closer than ever before. But as they approach the explosive and murderous truth, their growing bond may not be enough to keep Addie safe—in fact, it may turn her into the next victim.

Critic reviews



A Kobo Best Book of the Month – July 2024

“Young adult enemies-to-lovers sleuth and smooch in this debut. . . Pagano offers readers an engaging mystery with suspects galore. . . An absorbing, twisty whodunit complete with a swoony romance.” —Kirkus

“Between the riveting tension, the intensely captivating romance, and the exploration of what the rich and powerful will do to keep themselves out of trouble, this is a book that thriller readers will want to get their hands on ASAP.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“A twisty, multilayered mystery that will keep readers turning pages as fast as they can. Populated by complicated characters and the many secrets they’re keeping, Girls Who Burn is the perfect combination of heart-hammering plot, escalating tension, and emotional heft. You won’t know who to trust, and just when you think you’ve figured it out, a new twist will upend everything. This unforgettable debut firmly establishes M.K. Pagano as an author to watch in the thriller space.” —Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here and All Eyes On Her

“Packed with breathtaking prose and a rich cast of suspects, MK Pagano’s debut weaves a sinuous yet heart-wrenching tale about family, love, and regret.” —Chelsea Ichaso, author of Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets

Loved this story!

Loved the details in this story, especially how three-dimensional and real the characters were. Loved the suspense, and that I was kept guessing until the very end.
