"Compulsively readable to the very last page."- Jennifer Lynn Barnes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games.
The invitation arrives out of the blue.
In it, Matilda discovers a father she's never met. Kingsley Cello is a visionary, a reclusive artist. And when he asks her to spend the summer at his seaside home, Hidden Beach, Matilda expects to find a part of herself she's never fully understood.
Instead, she finds Meer, her long-lost, open-hearted brother; Brock, a former child star battling demons; and brooding, wild Tatum, who just wants her to leave their crumbling sanctuary.
With Kingsley nowhere to be seen, Matilda must delve into the twisted heart of Hidden Beach to uncover the answers she's desperately craving. But secrets run thicker than blood, and blood runs like seawater.
And everyone here is LYING.

A 21st century fairy tale, with dark secrets at its heart. Spellbinding * The Jewish Chronicle * Read as a standalone but it's even more exciting if you know the Sinclair family history. * Daily Mail * This book was simply impossible to put down and the dynamics between Matilda and the three boys at Hidden Beach are all very compelling. . .
