A school’s storied legacy cannot stop student's whispers of mysterious disappearances and a legendary monster, in this terrifying new novel that will entrance fans of Madeline Roux and Claire Legrand.
Jess has always been a runner—always looking for an escape, no matter how many detention centers or “special schools” she’s been sent to. So when she receives a scholarship to the illustrious Danvers-Cutteridge in the mountains of West Virginia, her first plan of action is to find the fastest exit.
But Jess soon learns that this new school has secrets hidden beyond the grand staircases and storied past. A student has gone missing, and Jess’s new friends suspect that they haven’t been told the truth about the disappearance.
As Jess helps search for answers (and a way out), she discovers more of Danvers-Cutteridge’s unsettling history. The abuses and mutilations inflicted on past residents. The strange authority in the headmaster’s celebrated family tree. And the fearsome legend that has haunted the valley for decades—a mysterious girl, dressed in green.
Soon, Jess’s search will take her down into the heart of the school, through the closed-off parts of its history left forgotten in the dark. But walls and iron aren’t enough to keep the hungry darkness at bay…

BEST DAY EVER
BEST DAY EVER
March 20, 2026
Thank you to HarperCollins Children’s Books and NetGalley for the ARC.
This was a super fun read that I raced through in the best way possible! Great crossover between a traditional ghost story/thriller with some classic West Virginia cryptozoology mixed in.
Great main character and supporting cast that you do genuinely care about. Hoping to see more from Creedle as a follow up potentially because I really really enjoyed this.
4.5 ⭐️ Keep your eyes out for this one scheduled to release September 15, 2026!

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Okay, first of all: if you’re going to put a creepy boarding school in an abandoned sanitarium in the middle of the West Virginia mountains, you have officially lost the right to tell your characters to “just go home.”
The Girl in Green absolutely nails its setting. The old sanitarium, the isolation, the fog, the tunnels, the general sense that every hallway is probably hiding something terrible—it all works ridiculously well. The setting feels less like a backdrop and more like the book’s resident menace. You can practically feel the walls watching everyone, which is obviously exactly what you want from a horror novel.
And the action? Creedle does not mess around. Once things start going bad, they go really bad, and there’s very little of that “let’s conveniently cut away before anything actually happens” nonsense. The violence is unsettling, the danger feels immediate, and some of the later sequences had me thinking, “Surely these kids have learned their lesson by now.” They had not.
I also really liked the way the mystery and the school’s history feed into the horror. The legend of the girl in green becomes creepier because it’s tied so closely to the place itself. There’s a constant feeling that something awful happened here—and, unfortunately for everyone involved, history seems very interested in repeating itself.
I’m giving this 4 stars because while some of the characters and horror tropes felt a little familiar, the atmosphere more than makes up for it. This is the kind of book where you start wondering why anyone would willingly attend a school with that many ominous corridors and absolutely zero sensible adults.
Creepy setting? ✔️
Unflinching action? ✔️
Bad decisions made by teenagers? Naturally. ✔️
A boarding school I would personally flee from immediately? Absolutely.
A fun, atmospheric, genuinely unsettling read for anyone who likes their YA horror with a side of “maybe we should really stop going into the obviously haunted building.”

Review of advance copy received from Goodreads Giveaways
This is by all means not a bad book, and is serviceable in the YA horror/mystery space .
The girl in Green follows Jess, a kid with a messy past, as she attends a promising boarding school that her and her family hope can help her put that past behind her. Jess is immediately not thrilled with the strictness and weird vibes of her new school, but finds herself incapable of leaving after her mom mysteriously abandons her.
The school has a twisted past, experiments and lobotomies galore, and Jess is now exploring it all trying to uncover the truth.
Jess was sort of a nothing protagonist- she has a fascinating life story but very little of it was used and there were many times she just felt like a self insert. I could not really define her personality outside of having ADHD. Her friends felt equally dimmed- technically they were people with some distinct personality, but minimal background or character work.
In horror, theres character driven stories and atmosphere/slasher stories where underdeveloped characters react to things. This was an odd one because it felt like there was a desire to tell a character story, but most of the time it was focused on characters reacting to information or scares. It was this disconnect that didn't really land for me, because I feel like there was an opportunity for this to be more than a spooky story, but something with more psychological states.
I was also hoping there would be more detail/scares focused on the society in this school rather than- for lack of better word, simple scares. The motivations behind the "bad stuff" is....flimsy and doesn't pack the emotional punch I would have wanted from a book like this.
Positives, this is a quick read. It starts slow but picks up the pace fast and remains to be about as fun as eating popcorn at the movies. This book isnt about to be redefining the genre, and if you enjoy YA horror on the surface, this is sure to entertain

Review of advance copy received from Goodreads Giveaways
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
First, a huge thank you to Goodreads Giveaways and Laura Creedle for the opportunity to receive an advance copy of The Girl in Green. I’m so grateful to have discovered this book—it ended up being one of my favorite YA horror reads of the year!
I went into this expecting a creepy boarding school story, but I got so much more.
Danvers-Cutteridge Academy is an elite boarding school hidden high in the mountains, but beneath its beautifully restored halls lies the forgotten remains of a former psychiatric hospital. From the moment Jess arrives, something feels… off. The isolated setting, the dense mountain fog, the endless hallways, and the haunting history surrounding the academy created an atmosphere that completely pulled me in.
The setting was easily my favorite part of the book. The Kirkbride-style architecture, abandoned medical wing, underground tunnels, old operating theater, and the chilling history of the school made the academy feel like a character all its own. I could vividly picture every scene, and I constantly felt that something terrifying was waiting just around the corner.
The mystery unfolds at a perfect pace, revealing just enough to keep you guessing while never giving away too much. Jess was a protagonist I genuinely enjoyed following, and I loved uncovering the academy’s dark past alongside her.
Once the story reached its final act, I couldn’t put it down. The tension kept building, the reveals were satisfying, and the ending left me shocked and immediately wanting the sequel.
If you enjoy creepy boarding schools, abandoned psychiatric hospitals, dark academia, hidden tunnels, supernatural horror, monsters, and slow-burning mysteries with unforgettable atmosphere, I highly recommend adding The Girl in Green to your TBR.
⭐ 5/5 stars. A wonderfully atmospheric YA horror novel that had me hooked from beginning to end. I can’t wait to see where this goes next! 🖤📚

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Laura Creedle I need a sequel!
Jess would be what some would call a "troubled" teen. She has been from special school to special school for her issues and is now working as a barista after saying she'd do online classes to finish high school. But not actually doing them.
Not that you can blame her. Her moms ex boyfriend molested her and she stabbed him as a response. That makes one feel like Jess is a teen on a bad path. But her pov gives a teen girl struggling with everything. She has a conscience.
When she is accepted at a prestigious prep school far away from her Texas home, her mom jumps at the chance.
But when she gets there, the eeriness of the town and school (and legend of the girl in green) gets to her. I was sent an ARC of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The creepiness grows as you read and the school and towns secrets come to light. The characters are great (as is the girl in green - as far as monsters go). The scary scenes are actually scary and there are tense scenes where you are wondering what's going to happen next. The writing is perfect. Descriptive. I didn't want it to end and that ending 4.5 stars

Jess receives a scholarship to Danvers-Cutteridge school in the mountains of West Virginia where Jess uncovers that the school has many secrets hidden in its past. A student has gone missing, there is a graveyard of unmarked graves and Jess's new friends suspect that they haven't been told the truth about the disappearance and what is going on at school. The friends begin discovering more about Danvers-Cutteridge's unsettling history, past residents, and a legend about the haunted valley and the girl dressed in green.
Without any spoilers, the last part of the book had me on the edge of my seat!
Content review: I read that this was YA and didn’t expect it to be too scary. I was so surprised. The story starts off with an interesting mystery and fun developing friendships. The author does a great job of making you feel unsettled by the surroundings and side characters. It ends strong and will haunt my nightmares for a while. If you enjoy a good horror novel, you will love this. This is YA but there are some darker themes so make sure you are prepared for the content.
I can’t wait for book 2!!

Thank you Netgalley and Harpers Collins Children's books for the ARC.
I didn't realize this was a children's book when I requested it. YA is not my thing, but I thought I would read it anyway. It was a decent read, but I feel like I have seen this movie many times before.
As for being a children's book, I would never let my kid read it unless they were close to adulthood! It had some creepy parts and had some really gross body horror parts but was overall a good read.
My problem is that once a found out it was a children's book I kind of checked out. I am giving it 3.5 stars since they don't do half or quarters on Goodreads. I would recommend for older kids 16 and up. Little kids will have nightmares, I mean I almost do. lol

When Jess, a troubled teen, gets an acceptance letter to attend a prestigious school it seems too good to be true. As soon arrives on campus she realizes something isn’t right.
This book was fun, fast paced, and had a some twists I wasn’t expecting. The gothic setting of an asylum turned prep school with secret underground tunnels added to the creepiness of the story.
The characters were likable and I admired Jess’s growth throughout the story. I sped through this book and never hit a dull moment. I’ll be on the lookout for more books from Laura Creedle!

That twist! 😱
Was not expecting that, points on creativity.
This book is for the fans of Asylum by Madeleine Roux, and The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong.
Jess as a character was very angsty at the beginning it she kinda mellowed out a bit. Each character was surface type. Where we barely really got to know them. The pacing was kinda slow at first but maybe around chapter 20 actually started moving. I wish there was a bit more investigation happening. The dialogue felt a bit repetitive.
It is a creepy horror, especially with that twist.
Overall 3.75

This was a “one day” read for me. I was very intrigued by what was going on with our MC. I knew there was something not right about the school she was attending, and I was impressed by the willingness of the students to work together to discover what was really going on.
I really enjoy strong female leads, and this one was no exception. Her journey through the whole novel was enjoyable to follow.
I want to thank NetGalley for an advanced copy to read and review! I hope that others will consider picking this book up and reading it!!!

3.5 stars rounded up to 4. loved the premise of this. YA horror novel about a troubled (and very angsty) teen girl who gets sent to a boarding school with more than a few mysterious disappearances and a creepy headmistress.
I am a sucker for YA and for horror, so again, I enjoyed this story but Jess' broodiness did get very old. the ending set up for a second book and I do hope that that happens.

This book was so good and so unique in many ways. It’s suspenseful, mysterious, and has bits of horror/fantasy in it. The book is so fast paced and well written! It has some great twists and turns and the character development is amazing. I loved all the characters and you really find yourself rooting for all of them! This book needs a sequel for sure! I will be reading more books by the author in the future!

I don't read a lot of horror, so I'm not the best judge of how original this was. But I found it to be properly creepy, well-written, with engaging characters and a good blend of suspense and a side of folklore.

A story that reminded me of "It" by Stephen King. The characters were interesting and likeable. First half of the book was slow, with a bit too much teen angst, but the second half got much better. Overall, an enjoyable read, in a creepy kinda way! {A}

Got this on NetGalley and was really drawn in from the first few pages. The characters and setting really hooked me and then the mystery kept me turning pages. Great ending! Highly recommend!

The concept of this was really interesting. I just felt like it was disjointed at parts and definitely didn’t end up being what I expected. The characters were a little interesting but it was hard to get to know them. Some parts were super creepy, but overall I was a little disappointed. This will be out in September of 2026. If you like dark academia and teenage mystery solving you should check out this book.
Review of advance copy received from Goodreads Giveaways
This was an easy book to read. I read A LOT of horror so unfortunately not much of this felt original and it definitely read as YA (which i know it is!). But overall it was an interesting read that kept me hooked! I wish there was more character development tho besides the fact that the main character mentions her ADHD and neurodivergence every other page lol.
Thank you goodreads and the publishers for the ARC!!!

I won this book in a giveaway and was very pleased with my introduction to this author! I loved the story and the writing style as well as the characters! It is dark and suspenseful but not so much that my son can’t read it. (6th grade) I really enjoyed the history/lore woven throughout the story, and found it particularly creative how the author accomplishes this. I’m excited to have a new author to look for and would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense!
