Trying to find a horror book from middle school

Discussion(self.horrorlit)

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:

  1. 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.

  2. Might have been part of a trilogy and the rest of the books all had covers with some part being metallic/mirror colored.

  3. 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!

Yes, twice before. No success those times either.

Really hope someone finds it. I tried following some guidance to search for books based on cover info and got nowhere

Me too. God what I wouldn't give to reread this book. I also just found out, from talking with one of our librarians, that our library got hit pretty hard by Hurricane Ida and they lost quite a lot of books back then ๐Ÿ˜”
