Down With the Shine av Kate Karyus Quinn

There's a reason they say "be careful what you wish for." Just ask the girl who wished to be thinner and ended up smaller than Thumbelina, or the boy who asked for "balls of steel" and got tem-literally. And never wish for your party to go on forever. Not unless you want your guests to be struck down by debiliating pain if they try to leave.
  These are things Lennie only learns when it's too late-after she brings some of her uncles' moonshine to a party and toasts to dozens of wishes, including a big wish of her own: to bring back her best friend, Dylan, who was abducted and murdered six months ago.
  Lennie didn't mean to cause so much chaos. She always thought her uncles' moonshine toast was just a tradition. And when they talked about carrying on their "important family legacy," she thought they meant good old-fashioned bootlegging.

  Now she has to find a way to undo the damage. But once granted, a wish can't be unmade...

The Incident On the Bridge av Laura McNeal

The last anyone saw of Thisbe Locke, she was standing by a car on the side of the bridge.
