I’m a HUGE Natasha Preston fan, and this was my least favorite book by her. The “big secret” wasn’t that big of a deal and I feel like a lot of nothing happened in the book. The ending was predictable, which is saying a lot bc normally Natasha’s writing STILL gets me. They made a mountain out of a mole hill and so the motive sucked.

Excellent read. Short chapters, easy read, cliff hangers everywhere, interested from page 1, gave me just enough scare, and excellent plot!

Was really good. Until the ending. The ending made me mad…and not in the best way. But the characters and concept was good.

𝓡𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 3/5 ⭐️
The Lake by Natasha Preston is a young adult thriller with some mature themes. Esme and Kayla return to camp after 8 years and a tragic accident to be counselors in training. They are excited to keep the past behind them and return to camp. Secrets never stay secrets for long no matter how hard you try to keep them buried.
You can definitely tell this was a YA thriller. The writing seemed very juvenile to me. I am not sure if the author meant for it to that way since the main character is a teenager or if that is her writing style. This is the only book I have read so far by this author.
While this book is YA it does have some mature themes and it did keep me interested enough to see how it all played out. It was pretty predictable and easy to guess but it was still a decent read.
