(4) YA Mia reluctantly moves from the city to the country and rapidly finds herself drawn to two brothers who live nearby; the three teens encounter unsettling phenomena from the river that runs through their town. The awkward translation from the original German, particularly the dialogue, takes readers out of the story and distracts from the genuine suspense.
