I recently finished the Truly devious series and it was amazing! I definitely recommend reading the series.

Embers My YA crime/mystery novel might fit into this category and interest readers who've enjoyed books on this list.
Two siblings, one crime. One long-buried secret.
17-year old Ellen never wanted a holiday. What is there to do in a mining town in the northernmost corner of the country, with no one but her brother Simon – a boy with Asperger’s and obsessed with detective stories – for company?
Nothing, until they stumble upon a horrifying crime scene that brings them into a generations-long conflict between the townspeople and the native Sami. When the police dismiss Simon’s findings, he decides to track down the perpetrator himself. Ellen reluctantly helps, drawn in by a link between the crime and the siblings’ own past. What started off as a tedious holiday soon escalates into a dangerous journey through hatred, lies and self-discovery that makes Ellen question not only the relationship to her parents, but also her own identity.

The Butterfly Clues by Kate Ellison and Ten by Gretchen McNeil
Clique Bait and the Truly Devious series are AMAZING! Last Girls by Demetra Brodsky

"The Time Capture" by Annie Hoad is a really thrilling YA book, and is extremely well-written.
I've already read The Inheritance Games by JL Barnes, and now I am beginning the Truly Devious trilogy, I can't wait.
Loved all three of these. Can't wait for....
