Running through the forest, mad as hell, hurt more than mad; Marlow saw the old dock and did what her heart told her to do. She jumped. The water wasn’t cold, even with the snow on the ground. It welcomed her and made her feel loved.
Not so much when she woke up on Lena’s sofa with people staring at her. Kids she knew from school in a “Hi, what’s up?” kinda way. Not close friends at all. Then she gets news she hadn’t planned on. She’s dead.
This isn’t a simple thing at all. Her bo More...

It’s not every day that I find a book about skeletons, in fact Skeleton Lake by Angela Kulig is probably the first one I have read in which the protagonist is a skeleton. That being said, I really enjoyed Skeleton Lake.
The first reason I enjoyed it so much was because it was so original and I thought the skeletons and the lake was explained really well within the book. I did have a couple of questions about one or two of the concepts but I believe that this is the first book in the serie More...

The idea of soulmates is one I cling to. I like to believe that somewhere in the world we each have someone with whom we were meant to be (in case you didn't know, I'm a little bit of a hopeless romantic). What I like best about Skeleton Lake is the fact that Raidan and Marlow are in fact soulmates. Instantly drawn together and destined to love one another. Yeah, swoon.
Of course at this point enter Conrad because, after all, you can't have a love triangle without three sides. I didn' More...

This is a rough book to review because I really liked a lot of the elements, but in the end there were such massive gaping holes in the plot I wanted to bash my head against the wall.
Warning: Spoilers ahead
What I Liked:
I enjoyed the teenage characters quite a bit. I felt they were well-defined in personality and interacted with each other in what I felt was a believable way (outside the main character, that is).

I enjoyed this YA paranormal story.
It felt like a metaphorical story that engulfed all the usual high school "teen" problems and a new paranormal treat with skeletons & demons.
Marlow is a typical teen who finds herself emotionally disraught and therefore in the clutches of discovering a new world, which lies beneath the everyday presence of her own. She has a drowning expirience that thrusts her into a realm of unusal characters and laws that she would never have believed ex More...

Fantastic book! Wonderful idea.
I was hooked immediately and couldn't put the 600 page book down! And the pages flew by. Once I was done, I immediately contacted the author and asked when the next one was coming out.
The descriptions were well done and allowed me to believe I was standing by Skeleton Lake. I could almost feel my clothes being absorbed from my body.
The relationships were angst filled which to me, is extremely important in YA.

All the reviews I read made me want to read this book. I was so excited when I received my copy and couldn't wait to read it.
From the first chapter, I was completely lost. I had no clue what was being said. Maybe this was deliberate since Marlow was "drowning". So, I kept reading. The story began to work itself out over the next few chapters and I could see it more clearly.
The characters were not very deep. Even though the story was told through the eyes of Ma More...

Let me start by saying that the premise of Skeleton Lake is absolutely fascinating. Marlow is a normal high school girl who lives with her parents, has a boyfriend, has a very normal life. But one night she sees her boyfriend cheating on her, and runs away, dashing through the woods and diving into a lake to drown herself.
And then she awakens, surrounded by people she knows only vaguely from school: Lena, Alex, and the suddenly inexplicably attractive Raiden. Raiden tells her she More...

It took me a few chapters to get into the book. The first few chapters, while essential to your understanding of Skeleton Lake, moved a little slow for me.
However, once I got into it, I couldn't put it down.
Angela builds a vivid world with a compelling story. She skillfully fills in the backstory in such a way that you know more about the characters than you thought you did just when you need to.
The main characters, Marlow and Raiden, are very well constructed. As More...

Wanted to like this story but just didn't click for me. I kept reading hoping it would grab me but I just felt like there were too many holes.

I haven't read a truly unique story in a long time. SKELETON LAKE is full of surprises, full of twists and turns, monsters and danger--totally kept me going and guessing the whole time.
