You NEED to read this!... It was so good I couldn't put it down, and it took me a day to finish!' Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A new job. A new home. A new start.

It's all Anna wants. But in a closed rural community, strange traditions and a suspicion of outsiders mean everything is not as it seems.

Three teenage girls have vanished at the annual Gathering as they reach their sixteenth birthday. No one seems to be investigating. And a fourth girl begs Anna for help, fearing that she will be next to disappear.

Everyone has secrets. Anna is watching everyone. But who is watching Anna?

An unpredictable and wild page-turner, with shocks, surprises and a killer twist for a finale.
