Praise for Dark Waters:
An Amazon Best Book – August 2021
“Arden skillfully blends a creature feature with a survival tale,
taking the series into new territory without deviating from its
successful formula. The deliberate pacing maintains a palpable
sense of dread, equally anxiety-inducing and terrifying. . .
Another deliciously hair-raising entry in a series that continues
to make a huge splash.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Describing the creepy setting where all the action takes place
with cinematic detail, Arden piles on the terror, weaving in Lake
Champlain history and pirate lore.” —Buffalo News
“The ending definitely ramped up the stakes once more and I’m now
anxiously awaiting the conclusion to this dark, creepy middle-grade
series. If you haven’t picked up this series yet, now is the
perfect time to do so, if only to suffer with us all through the
wait for the final book.” —The Nerd Daily
“Genuinely spooky . . . Arden’s expert pacing and vivid
descriptions ratchet up the tension deliciously, build eerie
atmosphere, and make for some truly scary moments . . . [and] a
tense cliff-hanger, which will leave readers on the hook for the
next installment.” —Booklist
“Those who are attracted to mystery, adventure, and spooky stories
will be drawn to this sequel like a moth to a flame.” —School
Library Journal
“In this hair-raising novel . . . middle-grade readers, ages 8-12,
and their adult reading companions, will be thrilled, and
frightened, by this latest adventure. . . This is a very fun, and
eerie, read-aloud.” —Addison County Independent
Praise for Dead Voices:
★ “Arden handily transforms the haunted house story into something
much richer, scarier, and more sinister. . . Middle-graders who
thrill to spooks and scares will find plenty (maybe even more than
they bargained for!) here.” —Booklist, starred review
★ “Arden's high scare factor, richly drawn mountain setting,
relevant themes of loss and belonging, and vividly eerie
descriptions evoke the very best of horror for this age set.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ “In this spooky sequel to Small Spaces, Arden excels at creating
an atmosphere of claustrophobic tension with memorably menacing
details. Readers will again be invested in the ghoulish surprises
in store for the resourceful, likably flawed protagonists.”
