She attended Vassar College and graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Her latest book is The Outliers, a fast-paced teen tale where one girl learns that in a world of intrigue, betrayal, and deeply buried secrets, it is vital to trust your instincts. It all starts with a text: “Please, Wylie, I need your help.” Wylie hasn’t heard from Cassie in over a week, not since their last fight. Instead of telling Wylie where she is, Cassie sends cryptic clues. Figuring out where Cassie is goes from difficult to dangerous, fast. As Wylie heads further north into the dense woods of Maine, she struggles to control her growing sense that something is really wrong. In this breakneck tale, New York Times bestselling author Kimberly McCreight brilliantly chronicles a fateful journey that begins with a single decision—and ends up changing everything. Mindy McGinnis Mindy McGinnis is the author of Not a Drop to Drink and its companion, In a Handful of Dust, as well as the Edgar Award–winning novel A Madness So Discreet and The Female of the Species. A magna cum laude graduate of Otterbein University with a BA in English literature and religion, Mindy is an assistant YA librarian in Ohio. Her latest YA novel is The Female of the Species (Harper Collins). Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn’t feel bad about it. Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best—the language of violence. While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can’t be trusted among other people. Not with Jack, the star athlete who wants to really know her, but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna’s body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the preacher’s kid with a defiant streak who befriends Alex. As their senior year unfolds, Alex’s darker nature breaks out, setting these three teens on a collision course that will change their lives forever. Kara Thomas Kara Thomas is the author of wrote the Prep School Confidential series: Prep School Confidential, Wicked Little Secrets, and Deadly Little Lies, and the pilot The Revengers for the CW under the pen name Kara Taylor. Her new book, The Darkest Corners (Delacorte Press) is a psychological thriller about the lies little girls tell, and the deadly truths those lies become. There are secrets around every corner in Fayette, Pennsylvania. Tessa left when she was nine and has been trying ever since not to think about what happened there that last summer. She and her childhood best friend Callie never talked about what they saw. Not before the trial. And certainly not after. But ever since she left, Tessa has had questions. Things have never quite added up. And now she has to go back to Fayette—to Wyatt Stokes, sitting on death row; to Lori Cawley, Callie’s dead cousin; and to the one other person who may be hiding the truth. Only the closer Tessa gets to what really happened, the closer she gets to a killer—and this time, it won’t be so easy to run away.
