AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER · From the author of How to Survive Your Murder comes a propulsive thriller about two teens who return to Camp Lost Lake, site of an infamous murder case that sealed their fates.

"A must-read for fans of true crime, dark family secrets, and intricate mysteries." —Ryan La Sala, bestselling author of The Honeys

Most people’s births aren’t immortalized in a police report—but Olivia was born during the infamous Camp Lost Lake murders. Seventeen years later, Olivia’s life looks pretty perfect . . . until she discovers the man she calls dad is not her biological father. Now she wants answers about her bloodline, and the only place she knows to look is Camp Lost Lake.

Most people don’t spend their formative years on the run with an alleged murderer—but Reagan did. In the court of public opinion, her mom was found guilty of the deaths at Camp Lost Lake, and both of them have been in hiding ever since. But Reagan believes in her mother’s innocence and is determined to clear her name.

Luckily for Olivia and Reagan, Camp Lost Lake is finally reopening, providing the perfect opportunity to find answers. But someone else is dead set on keeping the past hidden, even if it means committing murder.

Part campy and part absolutely shocking!
This story follows Olivia and Reagan, two teen girls that had their lives changed following the famous murder case at Camp Lost Lake - Olivia being born that night and Reagan’s mother being accused of the murder. Now that the camp is reopening, Olivia and Reagan are determined to find out what really happened that night.I don’t know what it is about camps with sinister pasts, killers on the loose, and teens who make questionable decisions, but I am always drawn to these stories even if they are campy.Valentine does a fantastic job of nailing the spine tingling atmosphere at Camp Lost Lake. While there some parts of the storyline are predictable, there were a few twists and turns that had me floored.Oh, and that ending?! Whew. I wasn’t ready.Thank you to Penguin Teen for providing a review copy.

Olivia F.
5.0 out of 5 stars consuming thriller
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2024
TWO SIDES TO EVERY MURDER is a fast-paced YA thriller. The story follows two teens, Olivia and Reagan, who are each heading to Lost Lake, a camp which has been closed for about sixteen years, since three people were murdered in one night. The killer used a mask from the local legend of the Witch of Lost Lake, who supposedly uses a bow and arrow.

Olivia has recently found out from a DNA test that the man she thought was her father was not - so was her mother having an affair? She is hoping the camp office where her mother worked until the night of the murders might give her some clues as to who her father is. At the same time, Reagan is heading to the camp for a different reason. Her mother has been on the run since she was born, as she was accused of the murders. Reagan knows her mother couldn't have been the killer, and she is determined to investigate this true crime case and clear her mother's name.

However, once they are all on the mountain, the killer reappears, eager to get rid of all the evidence once and for all.

What I loved: This was a really consuming story, and I was hooked on figuring out whodunnit. At the same time, the teens are trying to solve the case - while also trying not to end up victims. The Witch of Lost Lake is there with them, and some of the kids are winding up dead. The present is tied up in the past true crime case, which makes solving it paramount to understanding who might be after them now. There are plenty of red herrings and twists in the past case that make it absolutely unputdownable.

The main characters are each of Reagan and Olivia and their BFFs, Jack and Hazel. Each of them was really interesting and infused with personality that made them stand-out and added to the story with a bit of thriller-related romance. I would have loved to see more of one potential couple but appreciated what we got with the other. Although the matches seemed a bit too easy, the story also explains how the heightened adrenaline and the like adds to their attraction.

There were some great themes that came up during the story about the weight of caregiving, the complicated nature of family, the burden of unexpected pregnancy, the power of legends, and the guilt that carries from past actions. These would be interesting to discuss and dissect with a book club as many of them contributed to the murders in past and present.

As a heads up for readers who care, the story ends with a bit of an unknown, so not everything gets wrapped up in a bow.

Final verdict: Overall, TWO SIDES TO EVERY MURDER was a fast and consuming YA thriller/mystery that I would recommend for fans of TRULY DEVIOUS, MISSING CLARISSA, or THE COUSINS.

Please note that I received an ARC. All opinions are my own.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced thriller
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024
What I liked about the book was how fast-paced it was. It really threw you right in to the mystery and didn't let up. The story was simple, not overly complicated, unlike the mystery. This mystery keeps you guessing, even if you can figure out a few things early on. I can honestly say that I didn't have the killer figured out until the reveal.

The setting was done so well. I actually wish the story had been a touch longer just so we could explore the setting more. It had all the right creepy camp vibes, but only a little of it was explored. I felt like the story got wrapped up in the drama and action more than anything else. When it comes down to it, I don't feel like we truly got to know any of the characters either. We were given the basic, background information on them, and maybe one or two character defining moments. Now, the writing was good enough that when you are in the middle of the story you don't notice that as much, you are on the edge of your seat, worried about the characters, needing the answers to what is going on. I would say I was invested in the storyline, but when I finished it I wasn't even sure if I liked it or not. I really think it is because of the lack of depth to the characters.

So, while I believe this author is a good writer, I'm not sure if I would say I actually liked this story. I enjoyed the thrill of it in the moment, but I don't think the story is lasting. And, I don't know how I feel about the ending. It was all a little abrupt and unfinished. I felt like we could have heard more about the characters, anything really, to give us more of a glimpse at how the events of the book affected them.

If you are looking for a short and quick book that is fun and gives you camp slasher vibes, than I say this would be a good story for you. It reminds me a lot of The Island by Natasha Preston. Actually, it reminds me of a lot of great stories mashed together to make a mediocre story. Some people will love it, some will hate it, and I feel like I'm stuck between the two.
