Gaslit

A psychological thriller about a night of babysitting that turns fatal and a girl determined to figure out if the gas leak was an accident, perfect for fans of E. Lockhart's We Were Liars.

“A masterclass in suspenseful storytelling”—Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying

Ella was supposed to have fun night with her friends until a crippling headache tied to a recent diagnosis cancels her plans and leaves her babysitting her cousin instead.

But when she arrives at the house, she immediately knows something is wrong. The lights are off and the door is wide open. But it’s the creeping smell coming from the house that warns Ella of the real danger inside: a gas leak.

In a panic, Ella charges into the house and calls 911. Her aunt and cousins lie unconscious on the floor—and Ella can’t rescue them all.

As Ella tries to recover from the tragic accident, deadly lies begin to seep through the cracks of the investigation, and Ella’s side effects escalate. She’ll soon discover the gas leak might not have been an accident after all—and that someone might be out to kill her next.

So good

Ella, who has a brain tumor, loses her beloved aunt Julie in a house fire on New Year’s Eve. Ella rescues her teenage cousin Chris and his seven-year-old brother Joey, wracked with guilt she couldn’t save Julie. Deemed arson by purposely cut gas line, Ella and Chris do their own shadow investigation. Their prime suspect, Julie’s boyfriend. Soon Ella doesn’t know who she can trust, including herself.

Megan Davidhizar’s sophomore novel, GASLIT, is every bit as good as her debut SILENT SISTER. Ella’s brain tumor adds an element to her already complex character, making me question her reliability at times. The secrecy surrounding her condition Ella insisted on keeping pushed friends away.

Davidhizar’s clever use of the title GASLIT made me wonder whether the word was meant literally, from the gas fire or figuratively or perhaps both.
