Temple Baker knows that evil runs in her blood. Her father is the North Point Killer, an infamous serial killer known for branding his victims. He was the talk of countless true crime blogs for years. Some say he was possessed by a demon.
Some say they never found all his victims. Some say that even though he's now behind bars, people are still dying in the woods. Despite everything, Temple never believed that her dad killed her mom. But when he confesses to that crime while on death row, she has no choice but to
return to his old hunting grounds and try to find the body to prove it.
Turns out, the farm that was once her family's home has been turned into an overnight camp for queer, horror-obsessed girls. So Temple poses as a camp counselor to go digging in the woods. She tries her best to fit in and keep her true identity hidden.
Then a girl turns up dead in the woods, and Temple fears that one of her father's "fans" might be mimicking his crimes. As she tries to uncover the truth and keep the campers safe, she realizes that there may be something stranger and more sinister at work—and that her father may not
have been the only monster in these woods.
"This book was so much fun, in the most terrifying way imaginable! Shockingly brutal, beautifully written, this is a must-read for horror fans. Keep the lights on for this one."—Kalynn Bayron, New York Times bestselling author of You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight

      To find her murdered mother’s corpse, teenage Temple Baker goes undercover as a counselor at a queer horror-themed summer camp whose grounds once belonged to her father, the notorious North Point Killer. As she attempts to fit in with her peers, she searches for her mother’s body under cover of nightfall. Then a teen girl is found dead in the wilderness, murdered in the same fashion as the victims of her incarcerated father. The event calls into question everything Temple thought she knew. Was this a copycat crime, or could someone other than her father be the North Point Killer? Striking up an unlikely friendship with true crime–obsessed campers Cali and Yaya, Temple must protect the other girls while uncovering the truth. Though chaotic pacing occasionally muddles narrative focus, Ellis, in a thrilling debut, admirably juggles the novel’s large ensemble cast; Temple’s prickly personality serves as a foil through which the author highlights heartening character relationships, and punchy horror-centric banter adds verve to this gruesome slasher. Characters are intersectionally diverse. Ages 14–up.
