Description
READ THE ABSORBING NEW PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BETRAYALS AND THE GOOD GIRL

----
The holiday was supposed to bring them together . . . But has it torn them apart?
Cass Sawyer wakes up in the woods. She doesn't know what's happened, or why she is alone.
But she recognises where she is. The Haven. An off-grid retreat - the setting for what was meant to be the perfect family holiday.
As Cass searches her surroundings, memories begin to trickle through. Her father's erratic behaviour. Her mother's pleas that they go back to town. The Haven's unnerving, free-spirited leader. The strange girls that hung on his every word.
And a nagging feeling: that Cass has done something terribly wrong.
What happened in this remote and beautiful place?
And will Cass every make it home?
----
'A smart, fierce thriller about an unravelling family, a corrupted utopia, and the wild hearts of teenage girls. I couldn't look away' Lauren Beukes, internationally bestselling author of The Shining Girls
'A taut and propulsive story of a family in crisis, a shattering of innocence, and a savage fight for survival. I couldn't put it down' Sunday Times bestselling author Karen Perry
