Two Sides to Every Murder by Danielle Valentine
4.0
Sixteen years ago Miranda D’Angeli gave birth to Olivia in a secluded lighthouse at her local summer camp. This night soon began the town's local legend of the Witch of Lost Lake. On this fateful night Lori Knight wanted revenge and brutally murdered three people, one of them was her cheating husband, Jacob all while wearing a witches mask. Miranda barely escaped that night with her life and the life of her then newborn baby and no one has seen Lori since.
When Olivia takes a paternity test for a school assignment she discovers that she is not biologically her father’s daughter. Olivia decides to find out what truly happened the night she was born and who her real father is, but to do so she must return to Camp Lost Lake.
Reagan is also in search of answers….answers to prove once and for all her mother, Lori, is innocent. Reagan has recently discovered a podcast recounting the details from the night that her mother killed three people. But she knows something just doesn't add up: she must head to Camp Lost Lake to find the evidence she needs to clear her mother’s name. But all Reagan uncovers is more cryptic clues, which has brought the Witch of Lost Lake out of hiding. And this time the Witch is out for more blood.
Overall rating 4/5
Friday the 13th with an unpredictable ending. This book gives all the summer camp murder mayhem vibes and was so horrifically delicious. I loved Valentine’s tantalizing impression that everyone just might make it out of Camp Lost Lake alive. Her take on the classic cat and mouse game was intriguing and kept me hooked till the very end. I loved the multiple revelations which convoluted the story in an intriguing way.
