Description
In this suspenseful YA thriller from debut author Marie Hoy-Kenny, four former friends—each with their own dark secret—must team up to solve a murder.
Calista, Zoe, Holly, and Denise were inseparable best friends when they spent their summers together at sleepaway camp. But after an unexplained tragedy forced the camp to close, the girls drifted apart.
Years later, reunited at their beloved camp counselor Violet’s funeral, the four former best friends quickly realize how much they’ve changed over the years. But despite their differences, they agree on one thing—Violet’s so-called accidental death was actually murder.
Unwilling to leave the case unsolved, they set off to uncover the truth—even if it means revealing the dark secrets of their pasts.
But someone wants them to stop investigating, and the anonymous threats keep coming, leaving them suspicious of everyone.
No one can be trusted, not even the girls from Hush Cabin.

“The Girls from Hush Cabin is what emerges when Pretty Little Liars meets I Know What You Did Last Summer and has a twisty, exciting new book baby. The protagonists are relatably flawed, leaping off the page as deeply human characters with secrets that no one sees coming. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and holds you there until its thrilling conclusion.” Alexis Nedd, author of Don’t Hate the Player
“Hoy-Kenny doesn’t pull any punches. A solid mystery with actual murders.” School Library Journal
“The setting is atmospheric and creepy and full of secrets. This is a fun YA book that slowly shares information to build over time. It was a great popcorn thriller with good representation—perfect for summer!” Murder & Mayhem
“Hoy-Kenny’s debut young adult novel is full of nostalgic summer vibes, shady suspects, and dark secrets from the past.” In the Hills
