When a girl with a troubled history of finding dead bodies investigates the murder of her ex, she uncovers a plot to put herself—and everyone she loves—on the list of who’s next.

Flora Calhoun has a reputation for sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong. After stumbling upon a classmate’s body years ago, the trauma of that discovery and the police’s failure to find the killer has haunted her ever since. One night, she gets a midnight text from Ava McQueen, the beautiful girl who had ignited Flora’s heart last summer, then never spoke to her again.

Just in time to witness Ava’s death from a gunshot wound, Flora is set on a path of rage and vengeance for all the dead girls whose killer is never found. Her tunnel-visioned sleuthing leads to valuable clues about a shocking conspiracy involving her school and beyond, but also earns her sinister threats from the murderer. She has a choice: give up the hunt for answers, or keep digging and risk her loved ones’ lives. Either way, Flora will regret the consequences. Who’s next on the killer’s list?

Genre:

“In her gripping debut, Schachte merges the spirit of Nancy Drew with modern-day sensibilities: Flora’s intrepid drive for justice is keyed to intense vulnerability and lingering trauma.”
Publishers Weekly
“Schachte’s debut novel has the pacing of a stick of dynamite: a slow burn leading to an explosive ending.”
School Library Journal
"Schachte has done an impressive job taking a hard-boiled detective story and turning it on its head... This is an addictive page-turner for YA mystery fans, especially those looking for a Veronica Mars-like read."
Booklist
"This read would suit a...young adult who welcomes a tumultuous ride and eventual heartbreak."
BCCB
"The treatment of the subjects of trust and emotional vulnerability between friends adds an extra dimension."
Kirkus Reviews
“A serrated, black-lipsticked Nancy Drew, You’re Next is a tantalizing neo-noir joyride."
Derek Milman, author of Swipe Right for Murder
"Get your popcorn ready because You're Next is compelling as hell.”
Stephanie Tromly, author of the Trouble Is a Friend of Mine trilogy
"With a sharp-edged, savvy heroine and a plot that twists and digs, You're Next is both a page-turning thriller and the witty, authentic story of a teenage girl forging her own identity. Kylie Schachte has crafted a debut that will pull you into the dark from start to finish."
Hannah Capin, author of Foul is Fair
