Review: Dead Voices

Dead Voices by Katherine Arden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Winternight Trilogy Katherine Arden's second installment in her Middle Grade series that began with Small Spaces is a polished middle grade ghost story featuring the trio of friends Coco, Ollie, and Brian, who survived the scarecrows of the first novel. When Ollie's father receives a free ski trip at a newly opening ski lodge (the deadly sounding Mount Hemlock Resort) the three friends are looking forward to a fun time (with Coco feeling the usual tinge of apprehension) at a winter resort. After a scary drive to the Lodge, the children are progressively unsettled to find that the resort used to be an orphanage. When they start having nightmares about a girl searching for her bones, you know you're in for that bone-chilling ghost story! How will the three friends keep themselves and their parents safe?

I actually enjoyed Dead Voices even more than the first novel, since Arden felt less constrained by the scarecrow themes of the first book. A fun story that's not just for Halloween!

I received a Advanced Review Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
