A summary from Goodreads: 

Even in Darkness is the fifth book in the High Water series and blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure that both boys and girls aged 12+ love.

While diving in Rockport Harbor, Parker Buckman makes a terrifying discovery. Haunting enough to keep him out of the water. His best friend, Harley, has his own dilemma—and needs Parker’s help. Meeting Harley halfway won’t cut it. Parker will need to be all in—which can only mean trouble.

Harley Lotitto is in more danger than anyone realizes. His Uncle Ray has cornered him into secretly finding recordings he’d hidden—before going to prison. Evidence powerful enough to get Ray out of jail—and put a worse man behind bars. If Harley succeeds, Quinn Lochran will get multiple life sentences. Lochran has a dark plan to make sure that evidence never sees the light of day. Ray’s ‘get-out-of-jail’ ticket might just become Harley’s death warrant—and Parker’s too.

Jelly and Ella know the boys are up to something. They want to help—but unless the boys open up—they feel powerless to do a thing. They have a feeling that the boys are going to need all the help they can get… and they’re right. These friends have survived deadly situations together before. But this time escape seems more hopeless than ever. What do you do when you’re surrounded by darkness… and dawn will never get there in time?

A summary from Goodreads: 

Three estranged siblings return to their family home in New York after their beloved sister’s death in this unforgettable story of grief, identity, and the complexities of family.

The three Blue sisters are exceptional—and exceptionally different. Avery, the eldest and a recovering heroin addict turned strait-laced lawyer, lives with her wife in London; Bonnie, a former boxer, works as a bouncer in Los Angeles following a devastating defeat; and Lucky, the youngest, models in Paris while trying to outrun her hard-partying ways. They also had a fourth sister, Nicky, whose unexpected death left Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky reeling. A year later, as they each navigate grief, addiction, and ambition, they find they must return to New York to stop the sale of the apartment they were raised in.

But coming home is never as easy as it seems. As the sisters reckon with the disappointments of their childhood and the loss of the only person who held them together, they realize the greatest secrets they’ve been keeping might not have been from each other, but from themselves.
