The Descent meets The Blair Witch Project in this novel that’ll make all your worst fears come true.

It's no secret that I love horror books and I love them even more if it's YA. This book stood out to me automatically and I had to read it. This book didn't look like it was messing around and I had that feeling that this was going to make me uneasy. I couldn't wait for my fears to be brought to life!

This book was somewhat different and I found myself surprised that some of this was just so bizarre. But it wasn't as thrilling or scary as I thought it was going to be. I was hoping the end would be a Fight Club-esque ending but it was pretty predictable. That ending will shock some readers but I knew it was coming. I kicked some rocks after completing this because I was really hoping that this would be the book that made everyone want to read ya horror. *sigh*

Here's the thing, I did enjoy this. It contained a lot of unique parts that I never read in young adult horror before and I loved the freshness that this brought to the table. It was genius. The predictability kind of killed this one for me. When Amelie started talking about Hendrik, I knew who it was and that really bummed me out.

Into the Sublime was a good read and I hope readers give this one a chance. It had that perfect spooky atmosphere and had some hair-raising moments. The detail during the disturbing moments was so spectacular and it was enjoyable just for those moments.

Are you brave enough to face the Sublime?

Into the Sublime focuses on four girls who are all looking for something, even if they won’t admit it to themselves. They enter a cave system in search of “The Sublime,” an underground lake that is supposed to change something for the people who find it. This book was SPOOKY. It completely hooked me in from the first few pages. Amelie is an excellent unreliable narrator and she builds the story so well that you will be wondering what will happen until the last page. Highly recommend picking up this book! (Instead of going cave exploring yourself.)

This book was absolutely fantastic. I've already added it to our list for order this year and will recommend it to students.
