Sixteen year old Cass Sawyer wakes up in the woods with a head injury.
She has no recollection of what happened.
But she recognises where she is. The Haven. The idyllic, off-grid retreat her parents claimed would heal their broken family.
As Cass searches the now deserted buildings, memories begin to trickle through.
Her father's erratic behaviour. Her mother's pleas that they go back to town. The Haven's charismatic, free-spirited leader. The strange girls that hang on his every word.
And a nagging feeling: that Cass has done something terribly wrong.

I've read other books by the author and enjoyed them. I really enjoyed The Haven. I have a soft spot for dysfunctional families so really connected with Cass and her family. The book has similarities to The Girls by Emma Cline but that's a good thing in my opinion. I liked pacy, twisty thriller's and this one ticked most of the boxes for me. The events are far fetched at times but so well executed I just like being pulled deeper and deeper into the book. I'd recommend this.
