One of Us is Lying meets Win Lose Kill Die but with a chilling supernatural twist that will keep you guessing until the very end . . .
Just how many deaths does it take to close a holiday park?
All 17-year-old Lacy wants is to move to Paris to be with her sister, who left six months prior. To earn enough money to join her, Lacy takes a job as a lifeguard at a rundown caravan park in North Wales with a sordid history of death… and one very recent and brutal murder.
But Lacy isn’t concerned with that. She just wants to keep her head down and make enough money to reunite with her sister, but that’s easier said than done. Between the other employees dragging her to parties, taunting her, and the mysterious figure she sees lurking in her reflection and walking along the clifftops every night, Lacy quickly realises something is amiss at the park. Something supernatural.
Narrowly escaping a drowning and stumbling across the corpse of a colleague who had been making her life miserable leaves Lacy confused. What does this malevolent force want? Is it trying to protect her in its own twisted, violent way, or is she about to be its next victim?

About the Author
After growing up in rural Shropshire, Tess set out to explore the world and find her place in it. She quickly rushed straight back to Shrewsbury when she realised she'd been where she belonged from the start. She now lives in a quiet suburb with a noisy partner and daughter, two extremely noisy cats, and a less noisy tortoise. She spent years mucking out and getting trampled on by horses, before finally deciding she might prefer a less precarious office job. Between analysing insurance risk, she writes teens into terrifying situations inspired by her lived experiences. When she's not allowing her mind to wander to dark and twisty places, she pursues more wholesome activities, like growing mediocre vegetables in her garden, camping with her daughter, and even riding the odd horse.
