This intriguing blend of paranormal lore and psychodrama will warrant a second read from genre-savvy readers who want to know if they missed clues or were misled down a rabbit hole. Horror fans will immediately recognize nods to contemporary classics of the genre, including As Above, So Below and The Blair Witch Project, while Amelie’s unreliability as a narrator puts the reader in the implicit role of the detective. Boorman successfully spins a story that quickly disorients the reader, mirroring the characters’ experiences as they descend further into the unstable cavern, and the suggestive storytelling effectively builds upon the lore, eliminating the need for proof of an actual witch.
When the ordeal is over, one girl is missing, two are incoherent, and blood-drenched Amelie is the only one left standing to tell the tale. Narrator Amelie, strait-laced overachiever Gia, horror film fan H, and emotionally detached Devon take on the search, descending into a cave which may or may not house a witch that locals say is responsible for unexplained disappearances. Four girls from a defunct thrill-seeking group descend into a dangerous underground cave system in search of a subterranean lake that local legends claim. Four wildly different but thrill-seeking girls are determined to find the Sublime, a rumored subterranean lake with the power to grant your deepest desire-if you can find it and make it out alive.
