WELCOME TO NOWHERE. Danny's dad takes a job as caretaker at a marina on the shore of a vast, frozen lake in Harvest Cove, a tiny town tucked away in Canada's Big Empty. If you're looking for somewhere to hide, this is it. It's the worst winter in years. One night, running in the dark, Danny is attacked by a creature so strange and terrifying he tries to convince himself he was hallucinating. Then he learns about Native American legends of a monster that's haunted the lake for a thousand years. And that every generation, in the coldest winters, kids have disappeared into the night. People think they ran away. Danny knows better. Because now the beast is after him.Define Books Toward Bonechiller

A scary, thriller type book that had me curious the entire time as to whether the characters would all survive or not. After all, they didn't shy away from death in this book, and the creature kills both before and during the events of that Winter. Things I really liked;Ash.No seriously, I wish Ash was the main character. She is a kick ass Boxer, who scoffs burgers, sports black eyes and generally doesn't take shit from anybody (especially Danny) There's a couple of moments where some charactersDanny and his father are fleeing the memory of his Danny's mother, who died recently after a bout with cancer. They move from place to place and find themselves in the far North of Canada in a tiny town that is frozen over most of the year. Danny is tired of moving from town to town and has made friends in the town of Harvest Cove, and he's even found a cool girl he really likes named Ash. One night after his crazy friend Pike burns down a child molester's house and shop, Danny is walking home
This book, let me just say, it was a suspenseful and with a couple cliff hangers. this book will delight anyone that likes horror and mystery.
The reader gets to experience some encounters with the beast, but most of the encounters took place in the past. In the beginning of the story, Danny has a confrontation with the beast which opens his eyes to this new world. Near the middle of the story, one of Dannys close friends, Howie, becomes very sick and they find out that it was again the workings of the beast. We came to find that this beast was injecting his victims with a sort of venom that did mysterious things to their minds and
somewhere under the rage, there's something human. barely. sometimes you read a book that's engaging and creepy and well-written but it's just... missing something, you know? this book was definitely one of those books for me. the creature was creepy and the setting was chilling - no pun intended, but i felt like there was all of this wonderful build up and then it would just drop off into stupid shit for a few chapters, (view spoiler)[like a boxing match (which was clearly just a ploy to set
Danny and his father have been moving almost every year since Danny's Mom died. Now they are in Canada, in a cold forgotten town, but Danny is making good friends here. Young people start to disappear and Danny is targeted but gets away. The love of brothers, the loyalty of friends and the beginnings of new love help pull together a crew that is a real match for the enemy that lurks in the ice cave.
Review by Jake KirkBonechiller is freaky... in an awesome way. The book is much like a horror movie but avoids all of the cliches. Our protagonist, Danny, is a regular guy with a troubled past. His father keeps moving him from town to town attempting to escape their nightmare by moving further away from society.One night, while walking home he's assaulted by a hideous beast that "stings" him, but then leaves him for no reason. He soon finds out that his situation is more dangerous and the stakes
