A House at the Bottom of a Lake

Eerie, beautiful, and symbolism for days!
I enjoyed the book immensely. There were some creepy parts, but nothing felt like it was all out horror like Stephen King. It is more like We Have Always Lived in the Castle, but teenage first love. I love the ending because it doesn't really settle anything. It does not definitively tell you this is exactly what happens, but you can't stop thinking about it and the more you think about it, the more sense it makes.
There are two big things that don't make sense though. 1. How were they gone all those days and their parents didn't worry? 2. How did they just magically get scuba equipment and become so proficient at diving? I know I'm not supposed to think that deeply into a YA novella, but those two things made me stop reading more than once because it didn't make sense. So provided you can overcome a few leaps in logic, this is a great creepy book.
If you are expecting a Stephen King kind of horror, pass on this one. If you like We Have Always Lived in the Castle and books that make you feel like this is the world I live in, but tilted a little, then you will like this book. There were a couple moments when the writing was a little clunky, but it didnt't stop me from reading this book.
