The dark beneath the ice by Amelinda Bérubé

Lately I've been wanting just to completely dive into some horror fiction now that October is getting closer. I'm trying to get a spooky TBR together, but I was wondering if anyone had read a good horror lately? Always looking for more.

[balaenabooks]

Started reading this for spooky season and it makes me want to read more YA horror. This is also one of those books where the majority of the characters are awful people, but awful in a way that feels horribly real and compelling.

Something is wrong with Marianne.

It’s not just that her parents have finally split up. Or that life hasn’t been the same since she quit dancing. Or even that her mother has checked herself into the hospital.

She’s losing time. Doing things she would never do. And objects around her seem to break whenever she comes close. Something is after her. And the only one who seems to believe her is the daughter of a local psychic.

But their first attempt at an exorcism calls down the full force of the thing’s rage. It demands Marianne give back what she stole. Whatever is haunting her, it wants everything she has–everything it’s convinced she stole. Marianne must uncover the truth that lies beneath it all before the nightmare can take what it thinks it’s owed, leaving Marianne trapped in the darkness of the other side.

Book Review: The Dark Beneath the Ice by: Amelinda Bérubé

I’m invisible. You can’t harass a ghost” – The Dark Beneath the Ice, Amelinda Bérubé Initial Thoughts: I received an ARC for this book a while ago, and I wasn’t unable to read it until now.

Fave Five: Ghostly Queer YA Missing, Presumed Dead by Emma Berquist The Dark Beneath the Ice by Amelinda Bérubé Rules for Vanishing…

[libraryleopard]

Ooh, yes, I love giving recommendations, thanks for tagging me! Here are some horror/spooky/mystery books that I think would be appropriate for a 14-year-old:

The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud (ghost-hunting detectives, part of a series)

The Dark Beneath the Ice by Amelinda Bérubé (ballerina being haunted by a ghost)

Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace (teen zombie seeks revenge)

These Fleeting Shadows by Kate Alice Marshall (girl inherits extended family's spooky house)

Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson (ghost-hunting nuns)

Saint Juniper's Folly by Alex Crespo (runaway teen gets trapped in a haunted house)

And Don't Look Back by Rebecca Barrow (mystery about a girl investigating her mother's hidden past after death)

Unraveller by Frances Hardinge (fantasy about curse-breakers with dark fairytale vibes)

All the Dead Lie Down by Kyrie McCauley (girl accepts job as a nanny for a famous horror writer, things become sinister)

The River Has Teeth by Erica Waters (witch girl and the sister of a missing girl investigate a string of missing girls in the local woods)

Deposing Nathan by Zack Smedley (very good drama/thriller about the disintegration of two boys's friendship as framed by a court trial)

Elatsoe by Darcie Littlee Badger (girl from a family of ghost wranglers investigates her cousin's suspicious death)

The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James (twisty sci fi thriller about the sole resident of a spaceship)

Keep This To Yourself by Tom Ryan (boy investigating the murder of his friend in a small town)

The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe (daughter of a con artist gets caught in a bank heist)

Also seconding the recommendations for Anna Dressed in Blood and the Diviners, I remember liking those as a teenager

Anyone have suggestions for horror/mystery books for a 14 year old? I have a few ideas but I'm pretty disconnected from newer horror esque stuff for a younger audience.

My one current idea is Nettle & Bone, based on her also liking some romance and humor in her books.

Monday review

The dark beneath the ice - Amelinda Bérubé

♥I got an ARC from publishers through NetGalley and this is my honest uninfluenced review♥

Rating: 4 of 7; 4 of 5; 9 of 10

I think the most important thing I can say here is: this is a paranormal book. No kidding. I spent more then half of the book wondering if it was really a paranormal or just mental issue. In the beginning, there's a lot of descriptions, like, really a lot and I was pretty annoyed by it, but before 20% I realised it wasn't happening so constantly and it was easier then. Or maybe it was just because at this point I was totally hooked.

So, Marianne parents are getting a divorce. And like that wasn't hard enough for a teen, she starts to freak out. Time lapses, weird noises, things breaking. She is dispatched to her aunt's place, and after an episode in the class, she starts talking with this girl, Rhiannon (but she prefers Ron). Ron's mom is a psychic and after Marianne's not-so-helpful appointment, Ron decides to help Marianne by herself. Must say, it doesn't end very well, you know. Now Marianne is fighting with this thing that neither she nor Ron actually knows what it is while it wants something from her. Something she stole from it.

You also get to see Marianne's feelings for Ron in a slow-burn, extremely cute and insecure realistic way that makes anything worth the time. The secondary characters are good, not too plain and not too deep that we can't even follow.

The whole book is written in a way that when you start to get your question straight, you won't wanna put it down. All you have to do is go through a confusing start, which, to be honestly honest, it's not so bad.

Ending: I'm starting to think that I'm the one who has a problem with endings, not the writers. I felt something was pretty rushed here. Since the second time she saw Ron's mother to the very end, I felt something was missing, but missing is not the right word. It's more like everything was tied too easily, which it's not actually a problem, but it annoys me.

Downsides: I was expecting more about she quitting dance and the breakdown after it, that way I feel that it wasn't such a big deal as I was made to think it was - especially cause it was apparently the breaking point - but honestly I felt like it was a normal-teen-rebellion.

Side note: There was a scene when Marianne is hearing like a hammer again and again and I was here, alone, at night, with a neighbour hamming some shit and honestly to god I thought I would lose my mind.
