From Little Stack

Evil runs in Temple Baker’s blood. Her father was a serial killer, convicted of murdering twenty people and marking each body with a brand. When he confesses to killing her mother, a crime he never believed he could commit, Temple has no choice but to go back to their home to try and find her body. But the woods they lived in has been turned into a summer camp for queer, horror-obsessed girls.

Posing as a camp counselor, Temple tries her best to fit in and search for her mother in her spare time. Until one of the girls is murdered. Is this one of her father’s “fans” mimicking his crimes? Or is there something far more sinister lurking in the woods?

Publisher Description

Dead Girls Walking is a shocking, spine-chilling YA horror slasher about a girl searching for her dead mother’s body at the summer camp that was once her serial killer father’s home—perfect for fans of Friday the 13th and White Smoke.

Temple Baker knows that evil runs in her blood. Her father is the North Point Killer, an infamous serial killer known for how he marked each of his victims with a brand. He was convicted for murdering 20 people and was the talk of countless true crime blogs for years. Some say he was possessed by a demon. Some say that 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 to try see if she can find a body and prove it.

Turns out, the farm that was once her father’s hunting grounds and her 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. While she’s not used to hanging out with girls her own age and feels ambivalent at best about these true crime enthusiasts, she tries her best to fit in and keep her true identity hidden.

But when a girl turns up dead in the woods, she fears that one of her father’s “fans” might be mimicking his crimes. As Temple tries to uncover the truth and keep the campers safe, she comes to realize 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.
