🕊️ ➞ Synopsis:

Piper Sullivan never should have been at Suicide Point the day she fell. Her older sister, Savannah, knows this with all her heart—just as she knows that Piper’s “accident” was entirely her fault. Savannah did something awful, something she can barely stand to think about, and now Piper is in a coma.

But just as Savannah’s guilt threatens to swallow her whole, she finds something strange in Piper’s locker: a note inviting Piper to a meeting of their school’s wilderness club…at the very place and on the very day she fell. Which means that there’s a chance Piper wasn’t alone.

Maybe it isn’t Savannah’s fault, after all. Someone in the club might know what really happened. Someone might have done something. But why? If Savannah wants to find out the truth about that tragic day, she’ll have to join the club on their weekend long camping trip…on the very same mountain where her sister fell. And with everyone in the club a suspect, she’ll need to be careful or she might follow her sister into the dark.



🕊️ ➞ My Thoughts:

Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets was your average teen thriller with a lot of build-up and a mediocre ending. This plotline had so much potential but I felt that it fell flat. All these conspiracies and secrets came to light and the cause of Piper’s fall was an accident?? I just felt like there could’ve been more. The characters were well-developed, the setting was believable, and the writing style was good; I just hated how anticlimactic the reveal was. Anyway, if you’ve read Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets then you should definitely leave a comment! Did you find the ending bland too? Tell me all about it below. 🙂
