Hot on the heels of The Twin, the undisputed queen of YA thrillers is back with a scary and suspenseful read about a summer camp filled with dark secrets.

Esme and Kayla once were campers at Camp Pine Lake. Now theyre back as counselors-in-training. Esme loves the little girls in her cabin and thinks its funny how scared they are of everythingthe woods, the bugs, the boys...even swimming in the lake. It reminds her of how she and Kayla used to be. Before...

Because Esme and Kayla did something terrible when they were campers. Something theyve kept a secret all these years. They vow that this summer will be awesome. Two months of sun, smores, and flirting with the cute boy counselors. But then they get a message:
THE LAKE NEVER FORGETS.

The secret theyve kept buried for so many years is about to resurface.

[T]he strong buildup...leads to a shockingly satisfying finale. An eerie thriller reminiscent of summer horror movies that will keep readers on edge.Kirkus

"Pays homage to classic summer camp slasher films...horror fans will likely appreciate this paranoia-fueled tale."Publishers Weekly

From School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up-Best friends Esme and Kayla are excited to return to their childhood summer camp, Camp Pine Lake, as counselors-in-training for the next six weeks. Pale, petite Esme and tanned, curvy Kayla hit it off with their fellow CITs: pale and bullied Rebekah; Black and gay Tia; blond-haired, blue-eyed, football player Jake; and tall, dark, and handsome Olly. Everyone is looking forward to swimming, s'mores, and campfires by the lake, but only a few days into their stay Esme and Kayla find a creepy note. Then an ominous message is written on a cabin. Could someone at camp know Esme and Kayla are keeping a secret? The setting will instantly appeal to readers who are nostalgic for outdoor activities by day and ghost stories by a lake at night. But the pace is choppy; some chapters stall on repetitive conversations while others fly by swiftly, alive with action. The characters are flat: While Esme is anxiety personified, Kayla is frightened to the point of unpleasantness. Both girls are dithering and overdramatic, while Jake and Olly are stereotypical athletes, Rebekah is a perpetual victim, and Tia-a token minority character-is used solely to further the plot. The ending abruptly turns away from the eerie threats peppered throughout the narrative to pages of sudden violence. The ultimate cliffhanger, however, is one readers won't see coming. VERDICT For libraries where Preston's previous works are popular.-Maggie Mason Smith, Clemson Univ., SC(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
