Recs if you like The Cheerleaders...

mystery and thriller books that are ya but perfect for adults

Inspired by theaisreading and my love for teenage detectives and crime stories, I need a list which collects them all. Whether it’s missing secrets or suspicious suspects, these young, sometimes unintentional, detectives are always one step ahead and rarely play by the rules. From cozy to high stake. We don't judge. Feel free to recommend books I've missed and you like!

Ya mystery books

The ya thriller genre deserves to be more famous so here are some of my favorite books that will 💯 keep you up at night 😉👻 Feel free to comment your favs

Your Pip-shaped hole deserves nothing less than full-blown mystery mayhem. This list is a survival guide for readers who've finished A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and are hunting for their next high-stakes obsession with amateur sleuth energy, buried secrets, unlikely sidekicks and adrenaline-fueled twists that demand binge-reading.

You watched the second season of A Good Girls Guide to Murder and/or recently finished the books? Here are some ya thrillers that will distract you from the hole the series left in your heart.💔

teenagers solving mysteries ! (if it's a series, only the first one is added)

From the Girl Boss™️ with a blog to the actual professionals, these characters are doing detective work.

Clues, lies, and the quiet feeling that something isn’t right. No one ever thinks it’s that serious—until it is.

Books that have main characters who deal with real issues, from losing friendships to racial violence, as they come of age.

Books with teens who feel like real teenagers and not like characters from Riverdale.

I usually don't read hype books, but here are some, that I think are really good and deserve the love they're getting. 💖
