Riverdale meets Stephen King in the terrifying new thriller from the author of Harrow Lake.
The town of Burden Falls drips with superstition, from rumors of its cursed waterfall to Dead-Eyed Sadie, the disturbing specter who haunts it. Ava Thorn grew up right beside the falls, and since a horrific accident killed her parents a year ago, she’s is having nightmares in which Sadie comes calling—nightmares so chilling, Ava feels as if she’ll never wake up. But when someone brutally murders close to Ava and she’s the primary suspect, she begins to wonder if the stories might be more than legends—and if the ghost haunting her dreams might be terrifyingly real. Whatever secrets Burden Falls is hiding, there’s a killer on the loose . . . with a vendetta against the Thorns.

Burden Falls Review:
“Burden Falls” was excellent. It has the perfect YA suspense novel with a touch of a gothic, supernatural murder mystery.
To begin with, I have to commend the author for writing the story so creatively. The author spins the tale in such a crafty manner that you don’t know what will happen. There are so many twists and turns where you cannot predict the story. Also, people who you would never think of being killed end up with shocking deaths one after the other. The author makes you think if a supernatural force causes the murders or if someone is behind them. Furthermore, I am not giving any spoilers, but the ending completely threw me off and shocked me. I love when stories come up and surprise me in the end, and this book delivers this flawlessly.
The author also wrote the characters nicely. I liked Ava in the lead and the various emotions she has to deal with when the murders occur. It’s not easy for her because the detectives also find her the prime suspect. There are some creepy characters like Hamish and Liam who make the story even eerier. However, I also liked characters like Ford, Dominic, and Freya. Each of them makes the story exciting with the way they respond to Ava. On a side note, I also enjoyed Dead Eyed Sadie’s background storyline and wondered how that connected with Ava. The author also adds some nice YA romance into the mix, although I will not spoil it by mentioning who Ava gets romantic with.
Overall, I loved reading “Burden Falls” and felt it was one of the best Young Adult Horror thrillers of this year.
