A chilling YA psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end."Gripping and breathless, Into the Sublime is equal parts terrifying, claustrophobic, psychological, and cunning." —Wendy Heard, author of She's Too Pretty to Burn and Dead End GirlsFrom Kate A. Boorman, the author of What We Buried, comes a new YA mystery about four teenage girls who descend into a dangerous underground cave system in search of a legendary lake, said to reveal your deepest fears.When the cops arrive, only a few things are clear:- Four girls entered a dangerous cave.- Three of them came out alive.- Two of them were rushed to the hospital.- And one is soaked in blood and ready to talk.Amelie Desmarais' story begins believably enough: Four girls from a now-defunct thrill-seeking group planned an epic adventure to find "The Sublime," a Colorado lake rumored to have the power to change things for those who risk—and survive—its cavernous depths. Each had their reasons for going, but as Amelie's account unwinds, things get complicated. She's hardly the thrill-seeking type, and it appears she's not the only one with the ability to deceive.Worse yet, Amelie is covered in someone's blood, but whose exactly? And where's the fourth girl? Is Amelie spinning a tale to cover her guilt? Or was something inexplicable waiting for them down there? Strange things inhabit dark places, and sometimes we bring the dark with us.

"This book made my horror movie heart happy. The Descent is one of my favorite horror movies and this has the vibes. Throw in The Blair Witch Project (but better), Flatliners, and a good psychological thriller and that's the vibe it felt like to me. <br/><br/>Four girls have one thing in common. They are thrill seekers. After an accident that disperses the thrill seeking group they're in, Amalie finds a few members to do one last challenge. Take a trip to the Sublime - a lake that's supposed to help change something you want changed. The only thing is it's never been found, the legend surrounding it is a creepy one and the directions to it lead them to a cave system in the woods. With the four girls being basically strangers, they head on this journey with their own motives but as things get challenging those motives start to be questioned. And when only three girls emerge the mystery becomes what happened in the cave.<br/><br/>The way this book is laid out is so perfect. It's set up to mess with your mind a bit while keeping you flipping the pages to figure out what happened. Told from the perspective of Amalie and a detective at the scene when they emerge, it really sets the tone of making you second guess every conclusion you come to. I'm still questioning days after I've finished it. Highly recommend."
