Book Info:
We’ll Never Tell by Wendy Heard
Genre: Young Adult Mystery Thriller
Publishing Date: May 16, 2023
Synopsis:
An ambitious and juicy whodunit doused in Hollywood lore, perfect for readers of sexy summer thrillers like The Twin by Natasha Preston and The Agathas by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson.
No one at Hollywood High knows who’s behind We’ll Never Tell—a viral YouTube channel where the anonymous creators trespass behind the scenes of LA’s most intriguing locales. The team includes CASEY, quiet researcher and trivia champ; JACOB, voice narrator and video editor, who is secretly dating EDDIE, aspiring filmmaker; and ZOE, coder and breaking-and-entering extraordinaire.
Now senior year is winding down, and with their lives heading in different directions, the YouTubers vow to go out with a bang. Their last episode will be filmed at the infamous Valentini “murder house,” which has been left abandoned, bloodstained, and untouched since a shocking murder/suicide in 1972. When the teens break in, they capture epic footage. But someone trips an alarm, and it’s a mad dash to get out before the police arrive—at which point they realize only three of them escaped instead of four. Jacob is still inside, slain and bleeding out. Is his attack connected to the historic murder, or is one of their crew responsible?
A week of suspicions and cover-ups unfolds as Casey and her remaining friends try to stay alive long enough to solve murder mysteries past and present. If they do, their friendship may not survive. If they don’t, the house will claim more victims.

Tour Schedule:
This was so good I loved that the actions of Cssey, Zoe, Jacob and Eddie were so morally grey put together with Hollywood and it's seedy side you have one hell of a story. I loved the that one of the characters had their own chapters which I found very very interesting.
Now Wendy was the Mistress of misdirection she literally led me up and down the garden path and then some thinking that I had solved the mystery instead I was slapped in the face with a rather large red herring. It was so much fun not. I will 100% be reading more of Wendy's Books once my ever increasing TBR shrinks.
For all the above reasons I am giving We'll Never Tell 5 big fat stars
