Dead Voices by Katherine Arden
4.0
So I don't really like horror or scary books in general, but I growing love them in middle grade books. Dead Voices has all the reasons why. There is just something special about kids who are going through a spooky situation and trying to navigate very adult fears and bravery. These kids feel real, yet still have this remarkable strength to even consider facing the spooky elements of this story.
Katherine Arden is an amazing storyteller and weaves in secrets and ties the plot together seamlessly. I was pleasantly surprised that I audibly gasped a few times. (Some at scary points and other at unexpected plot twists) The amount of scary was perfect. It had moments that still made me look over my shoulder as an adult, but not to the point that I was legitimately scared.
I am very excited to see where these characters go forward and also thinking I need to read the author's YA books..
