Murder on a Summer Break by Kate Weston
School outcasts-turned-detective duo, Kerry and Annie, are BACK – and after solving last summer’s menstrual murders, they’re now known as The Tampon Two. (Kerry is uncomfortable with this level of attention, Annie is refreshing her follower count every two seconds.)
When they attend the Festival of Fame, it’s the chance to meet their favourite feminist influencer IRL – along with a host of social media stars, including a tiresome prankster Timmy, super-glam beauty vlogger Celeste and Mystic Millie, who makes very vague predictions.
But then one of the influencers ends up dead.
The festival goes into lockdown, Annie is delighted that she and Kerry are trapped in a yurt with celebrities – Kerry is more concerned that there’s a killer among them. Will the Tampon Two find out who it is before they strike again?

Demeter did not always live in fear. Once, the goddess of
spring loved the world and the humans who inhabited it. After a devastating
assault, though, she becomes a shell of herself. Her only solace is her
daughter, Persephone.
A balm to her mother's pain, Persephone grows among wildflowers, never leaving
the sanctuary Demeter built for them. But she aches to explore the mortal
world--to gain her own experiences. Naïve but determined, she secretly builds a
life of her own under her mother's watchful gaze. But as she does so, she
catches the eye of Hades, and is kidnapped...
Forced into a role she never wanted, Persephone learns that power suits her. In
the land of the living, though, Demeter is willing to destroy the humans she
once held dear--anything to protect her family. A mother who has lost
everything and a daughter with more to gain than she ever realized, their story
will irrevocably shape the world.

Queen B by Juno
Dawson (Her Majesty's Royal Coven #0.5)
It’s 1536 and the Queen has been beheaded.
Lady Grace Fairfax, witch, knows that something foul is at play—that someone had betrayed Anne Boleyn and her coven. Wild with the loss of their leader—and her lover, a secret that if spilled could spell Grace’s own end— she will do anything in her power to track down the traitor. But there’s more at stake than revenge: it was one of their own, a witch, that betrayed them, and Grace isn’t the only one looking for her. King Henry VIII has sent witchfinders after them, and they’re organized like they’ve never been before under his new advisor, the impassioned Sir Ambrose Fulke, a cold man blinded by his faith. His cruel reign could mean the end of witchkind itself. If Grace wants to find her revenge and live, she will have to do more than disappear.

Love caused this war. At least, that’s what the stories will say. When Cassandra’s patron god, Apollo, offers her the gift of prophecy – and all the power that comes with it – she seizes the opportunity. But when she fails to uphold her end of the agreement, she discovers just how very far she has to fall. No one believes her visions. Which all seem to be of one girl – and she’s going to start a war.
