Savage Lake
Not yet published
Expected 27 Oct 26A mother and son travel to a dilapidated cabin in the woods that haunts more than just her memories in this new unnerving horror from the author of The Whistler and Sisters of the Lost Nation.
Nell Marin swore she would never return to the place where part of her died.
The passing of her estranged father, however, leaves her with no choice but to take her teenage son, Oscar, back to the run-down family cabin on Torchlight Lake, where horrific memories linger. The two will fix the place up, sell it, and ensure Nell never has to return to that dreaded lake again.
But when the roads—which pass through Native land—are barricaded by the local Tribe, the quick trip turns into weeks. Oscar, a horror movie buff, knows this is exactly how it starts. As the long summer days drag on, unsettling things begin to occur: screams ring out over the water and a mysterious figure watches the cabin from the trees at night. Most disturbing of all, his mother is becoming less and less herself.
As the strange events lead Oscar to uncover the secrets Nell has shielded him from, he is forced to confront a reality that is far more frightening than movie monsters. He must uncover answers to the questions that stole so much from his mother…before the horror that traumatized Nell drags him under as well.

Thank you NetGalley, Berkley Publishing Group, and the author Nick Medina for gifting me with this ARC to review!
I struggled with what I was going to rate this book, because while I did enjoy the premise I really couldn’t get into the writing.
Liked:
-creepy cabin in the woods, no cell service, and spooky things happening (sounds like a dream vacay to me!) let me tell you though if I was in Oscar’s shoes and my mom framed a dilapidated cabin as a lakefront house, I’d be so pissed. I’m surprised that they had electricity in that thing! At that point I don’t think any type of cleaning it out would make it sellable (just tear it down and sell the lot lol).
Disliked:
-the writing. At certain points it felt clunky to me and at others sporadic. I will have to say I read through the story pretty fast but the writing just didn’t impress me too much.
-maybe one too many horror tropes (ghosts, Bigfoot, serial killers murdering a group teens). I thought it was just a lot to throw in the book personally. I don’t think the Bigfoot subplot was really required to get the point of the story across.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
If Nick Medina writes it I know that I need to be prepared for emotionally-charged horror, but I wasn't ready for Savage Lake. This book is a wholely intoxicating blend of familial grief horror, the classic lakeside cabin slasher, and Indigenous lore in the form of the Sabe. Every page of this book felt heavy, the tension radiating off of the pages, the reader stuck both in the summer of 1999 alongside Nell, feeling something ominous on the horizon, but being powerless to stop it, and seeing her years later through the eyes of her teenaged son as he grapples with the past, what his mother lost, and how to make things right... if that's even possible when the lake has grown tired of staying quiet and keeping secrets.
I truly believe that the best horror makes readers think and to that end, Savage Lake is a masterclass. How do you watch your family implode while knowing you can't stop it? What happens when the guilt and grief eat you alive? How do you process going back to the place that broke you? Where do you turn when you're watching someone you love self-destruct? How do you fight off generational trauma when you haven't healed from the trauma yourself? How do so many different types of evil continue to exist? Why do people refuse to learn?
This book is for my readers who want their horror to hurt, who crave excruciating levels of tension, who love their characters to feel real and flawed and compelling, and who are beyond sick and tired of the hatred, ignorance, and injustices forced onto Indigenous people and other people of color. Sometimes the sickest horror is what people do to each other.
There is so much more I want to say, but it would give the entire book away and I urge you to go in blind. With Savage Lake set to release on 10/27/26, please make the time to preorder, add to your TBR, and ask every library you have access to use to ensure they have copies requested. And while you wait, I encourage you to look into more of Nick Medina's work. He's a truly talented author and I don't see his books shared nearly enough. At this point, his publishers may as well just charge my card in advance when a new release is announced. I'm going to buy it, I'm going to love it, and it would just save me some time.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
A compelling mystery with supernatural elements. This was my first Nick Medina novel and, honestly, I’ll be reading more from him. Oscar accompanies his mother, Nell, to his grandfather’s old lake cabin following his death so they can prepare the property for sale. Very quickly, it becomes clear this trip is going to be far more complicated than either of them expected.
Returning to the cabin is difficult for Nell. A family tragedy occurred there decades earlier, and being back on the lake forces her to confront memories of a broken family. As Oscar realizes there is far more happening than he expected, Nell withdraws into herself, and readers slowly uncover the events that unfolded on the lake all those years ago.
The story unfolds across both the past and present, with Oscar trying to piece together what’s happening while the past reveals the tragedy that forever changed Nell’s family. Normally, dual timelines can feel like a drag, but that wasn’t the case here. I was equally invested in both stories.
I appreciated that Medina created a genuinely eerie atmosphere through the isolated setting, local history, and growing sense of unease without relying on “ancient burial grounds” or similar tropes. That said, this read much more like a mystery thriller than a horror novel for me. The mystery was compelling from beginning to end, but the horror elements never quite pushed it into what I personally consider horror.
If you’re a fan of mysteries with supernatural elements, layered investigations that keep expanding, and characters who don’t constantly make you yell at the book for making terrible decisions, I’d definitely recommend picking this one up.

Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC of Savage Lake!
Every novel Nick Medina writes is better than his last. It's been really cool getting to see him develop as a writer from Sisters of the Lost Nation through to this, his latest book. Savage Lake is a bit different than Medina's first three novels, which all take place in and around the same Native community in Louisiana.
Savage Lake takes us to the Northwoods of the Midwest, where Oscar and his mother, Nell, are fixing to sell his recently deceased grandfather's cabin. Nell hasn't been back at the cabin in 27 years, not since the summer she lost her brother. Medina seamlessly blends present and past in one, masterfully written narrative. Each chapter, told from the differing perspectives of Oscar (present) and teenage Nell (past), maintains a distinctive voice while building context for the larger, overarching plot.
Medina manages to balance the gore of a slasher with the psychological horror of a haunting to create something really special. The cast of creepy characters keeps you guessing until the end. The story concludes cleanly and the last scene felt lovely within the context of everything Oscar and his mother had been through.
Nick Medina is continuing to establish himself as a key voice in the horror genre and I can't wait for this to come out so I can recommend it to all the horror fans in my life.

I’m going to be upfront and honest with the fact I struggled with this book for a good portion of it. There’s quite a few (sometimes ham handed) slasher tropes that feel a bit disjointed from the plot. I understand the primary character uses horror films to help them process their real life feelings, but it just didn’t land for me. However, I’ve read Nick Medina before and loved his books and that made me trust the process here and continue.
And it did pay off.
At the core, this a story about racism and who qualifies as an outsider on stolen land. I liked that the indigenous tribe was kind of in the background for this story, but still an overshadowing presence. This story is also about damaged family ties, horrific violence, unresolved trauma, and the lasting after effects.
Medina writes this time about a Latino family who has been in the states for generations at this point but is still treated like outsiders due to the color of their skin. There’s some pointed and necessary commentary on immigration and state violence. For me, there was also a theme of willful ignorance by a few of the white supporting characters.
All in all this was an emotional read for me and I did end up enjoying it.
It was fully worth the slow burn buildup. 3.5/4 stars, rounding up to 4.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.
Nick Medina has quickly become one of my go-to horror authors, and Savage Lake did not disappoint. Equal parts atmospheric horror, family drama, and mystery, this is a novel that pulled me in from the very first page and never let go.
The isolated lakeside cabin setting is wonderfully eerie, creating a constant sense of unease that only grows stronger as the story unfolds. The dual timeline is handled well, gradually revealing long-buried secrets while keeping the suspense high. I also loved the relationship between Nell and Oscar—both felt authentic and emotionally grounded, making it easy to become invested in their story.
Beyond the supernatural horror, Savage Lake explores grief, generational trauma, and the lasting impact of the past in a way that gives the scares real emotional weight. The atmosphere is immersive, the pacing kept me turning pages, and there were enough twists to keep me guessing until the end.
If you enjoy horror that combines creepy folklore, haunting settings, compelling characters, and emotional depth, Savage Lake is absolutely worth picking up.
Highly recommended.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Savage Lake is one of those books where the setting becomes a character all its own. Torchlight Lake feels heavy with secrets from the very first page, and that sense of dread only grows as the story unfolds.
I loved the relationship between Nell and Oscar. Oscar’s horror movie obsession adds some much-needed humor and self-awareness, especially when he starts recognizing all the warning signs that things are about to go terribly wrong. If you’ve ever watched a horror movie and yelled at the characters, Oscar is right there with you.
The real strength of this book is how it balances supernatural horror with generational trauma, grief, and family secrets. The scares work, but the emotional weight behind them is what stuck with me. Watching Oscar uncover pieces of his mother’s past while realizing how much pain she’s been carrying was heartbreaking.
The atmosphere is relentless. The screams across the lake, the figure in the woods, the isolation, the feeling that something is fundamentally wrong, and the dueling timelines all create a sense of unease that never lets up.

4.5/5 stars
Wow. This is one of those books that I will be thinking about for a while. One of those books that will leave me in a reading slump for a week or two because I need to mentally unpack it before I can begin another story.
First, this was a beautifully written story that had multiple POVs. 1999 and present with both Oscar and his mom Nell. I found that I needed to know what was happening in both timelines. They both had me gripped! Benny’s storyline truly broke my heart, and though I knew where it was heading, the reveal was still a gut punch. I was not even close to the guessing of the “who” so I enjoyed that twist. The paranormal aspects of the story were harrowing and impactful.
So why the 4.5 stars instead of 5 you may ask? The story took a bit to get going. I’d say, the first 30-40% was very slow in the buildup for my tastes. However, the story to follow quickly made up for it.
It’s not often a book is creepy, heart wrenching, and impactful like this one. I’d highly recommend this book to almost anyone.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't a cabin-in-the-woods part-time slasher, part-time paranormal dual timeline horror. Phew.
When Oscar goes to his recently deceased grandfather's cabin with his mother Nell, he's expecting plenty of things. No service, a few days of labor to clean up the place, and some time with his mother. What he wasn't prepared for was the trauma associated with the house, which seems to linger in unusual ways.
Occasionally flashing back to Nell's point-of-view in 1999, we get two stories: the summer leading up to the death of her brother, and Oscar's unraveling of the mystery a couple decades later. This mashes up Bigfoot, ghosts, and slashers with familial conflict, generational trauma, and a few bizarre characters.
This was a great Indigenous horror. I just wish it did a littleee bit less, so it could focus on doing just a few things really well. 3.5 rounded up - and thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an arc!

Thank you to Berkley Publishing & NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read the ARC of Savage Lake.
This was my first book by Nick Medina and it won't be my last. I love his writing style and storytelling.
I absolutely loved this book. I'm a sucker for a good supernatural element in my horror and this one did the trick. I also loved the flashback chapters as well as the main characters horror movie scenes.
The story was also rife with grief, generational trauma, & indigenous lore. There was also deep love and familial bonds that really helped to tie both timelines together.
There were some scenes in the book that were utterly heartbreaking. There was a looming sense of loneliness on almost every page and the isolation of the setting really connects to that.

This was my first go at a Nick Medina book, and I was not disappointed. The story unfolded with so many twists and turns, it was a little overwhelming at first. We have Native land, Bigfoot, serial killers, a group of teens, a mother and son … but when the book ended I really liked how it all tied together. We follow Nell in two timelines - as a teen and then as an adult. The familial trauma was so heavy, it made my heart break. There were some mild horror elements , but it felt more like a thriller/mystery to me. The connection Oscar has with horror movies and how that works itself into the book was unique and fun. And thanks to Oscar, we get some real answers as to what happened to his Uncle Benny that fateful summer in 1999. Thank you to Nick Medina and Netgalley for the ARC, I am happily leaving this review voluntarily.

Oscar and his mother travel to an old cabin that belonged to her father to get it ready to sell after he passes away. The trip is supposed to only be a weekend but when the local Native American tribe disagrees with the town about access rights, they are barricaded in the town and unable to leave. Memories of coming to the cabin as a teenager haunt Oscar's mother and she becomes more withdrawn with each day. In flashbacks, her last summer spent there is retold. Oscar is a horror movie fan and becomes interested in the teens who are staying across the lake. Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Savage Lake is a mix of horror movie plots and tall tales. Oscar has these moments where he works out a horror movie with the people around him. He thinks that he has made one of the horror movie mistakes and unleashed something. What Oscar doesn't know is that he is the key to fixing whatever is haunting his grandpa's cabin, maybe even his mother.
I liked this book but didn't love it. It was pretty graphic in parts and somethings did give you the thrill feeling. I think I was just not interested in everything going on. The location and all that was fine. I can't put my finger on what exactly didn't make me want to give it 5 stars.

Full of creepy and eerie things happening around a vacation area. The woods hold lots of secrets and possibly a Bigfoot. The back and forth between timeliness flowed pretty well. I was so anxious to find out exactly what happened to Benny. Poor Oscar has a lot to take care of including his mom who can't get past the past. This was such a wild scary ride! Highly recommend
Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
A depressed mother and over obsessed with horror movies son are stuck in a lake cabin she hasn't visited for many long years. A tragedy haunting this place from that time and now still. It lost my interest pretty fast by not surprising with anything, not rising tension, not really having an intrigue, and not immersing in the atmosphere.
Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Savage Lake is such a great horror thriller. I enjoyed the setting and the characters. Definitely kept me interested from start to finish.

This book feels the same way that classic camp horror films feel, encapsulating the feeling of summer. Think Friday the 13th, Sleepaway Camp, or I Know What You Did Last Summer. However, there's also a lot of family tension, grief, and unresolved trauma with increasingly heavier stakes that pulls you in.
This book made me pace a path around my house with my tablet because I was restless about what was happening, but I also wanted to keep reading. There are some men I'd like to threaten with sharp objects, a perfect dog, and surprise lessons from a beloved cryptid.
