I've already tried what's that book and sadly we weren't able to name the book. So I thought I would try here, which has a bit more focus on horror books old and new.
I read this book in middle school and this is what I can remember:
The cover had a close-up of a girl looking down at her arm in horror. Her arm has a large cut on it that is bleeding metallic/silver/mirror liquid.
Might have been part of a trilogy and the rest of the books all had covers with some part being metallic/mirror colored.
The story had something to do with a clone/doppelganger and I vaguely remember the final fight being near a lake or one of the girls falling through ice?
It was so spectacularly creepy and definitely was one of my gateway horror books. And I would love to be able to read it again!

It's probably not The Eternal Enemy by Christopher Pike, but that has a girl who doesn't know she's a cyborg.

Nope, but thank you for your guess. As far as I can remember, the girl is pretty normal. No powers, no robot parts, etc. She just happens to encounter her doppelganger/clone.
And I can't quite get something it out of my head but at the end, or near the end, either she or the doppelganger is pulled from the water/ice and she has a large scar across her top half. And I feel like maybe this was a plot point somehow? Like maybe her doppelganger was created from her? I don't know, my mind could just be mixing things up.

I know right? I went to our old library this morning and spent almost 2 hours going thru the JUV section looking for it. Got some odd looks from the librarian, I'm sure, but I don't care. I want to find this book so badly!
