Today I’m reviewing Girls Who Play Dead by Joelle Wellington—a pulse-pounding YA thriller that’s as chilling as it is empowering.

This novel dives deep into the world of true crime obsession, exploring how society glamorizes violence against women while silencing their stories. With sharp writing, unflinching tension, and a heroine who refuses to stay a victim, Girls Who Play Dead is both a gripping mystery and a powerful commentary on survival and justice.

If you love dark YA thrillers, feminist revenge narratives, and stories that hit hard emotionally, this one absolutely belongs on your TBR.
