Where Lost Girls Go By Kody Keplinger

Set in an isolated cabin deep in the Kentucky woods, Where Lost Girls Go follows Iris, who lives with five other girls trying to escape their pasts. They feel eternally grateful to Sol, the man who promised them safety in the cabin as long as they show him loyalty. But when a new girl, whom Sol names Rose, starts to make Iris question everything, Sol demands she prove her commitment to their family. As more and more is asked of her, Iris realizes that there’s far more to their situation than she thought, and dark secrets are lingering under the surface.
