Seventeen-year-old Lindsay Weinberg has just gotten kicked out of another prep school and has consequently found herself shipped to her Uncle Levi's farm in the cold, isolated town of Marbury, Maine.

When Lindsay arrives at a big, old farmhouse miles from civilisation, she is greeted by her uncle's new wife, a goy with a little too much Jesus decor for Lindsay's taste—with Uncle Levi mysteriously away on a business trip. Not only that, but Lindsay isn't the only teen staying there. In fact, there is a small group of teens going through some kind of reform program. Up at dawn. Manual labour all day. No phones, computers, or tablets.

Things start to feel hopeless until Lindsay meets the twins, Phin and Cass. They live on an island off the Peninsula's coast—and they have internet. Lindsay convinces the others at Haven House to sneak out for a party on the island, and the night is incredible. At least, what they can remember of it. All of them wake up in their beds with sea-shell mementos, no memory of how they got home, and wicked hangovers. All of them, except one. And as the disappearances and mysteries pile up, Lindsay and the others realise that they have become involved in a terrifying fight to survive, before The Cove claims them all.

About the Author

Claire Rose was born and raised in New Jersey but moved to the UK to study children's literature, and fell in love with horror instead. She is a queer, Jewish writer who works primarily in the intersection of fantasy, horror, and literary fiction, and can usually be found in the nearest bookstore or coffee shop. A PhD student by day, she lives in Edinburgh with a haunted cat. The Cove is her first novel.
