Description
From the world of We Were Liars, New York Times bestseller and smash hit Amazon Prime series.
A lost daughter, searching for answers.
A crumbling mansion by the sea.
A trio of enigmatic, wild boys.
Across the water in Massachusetts lies Hidden Beach. In a wooden castle built by Kingsley Cello, Matilda's reclusive father, four mysterious inhabitants draw her closer to the answers she's desperately craving.
But instead of her long-lost father, she finds a neglected house filled with paintings and locked towers, and three compelling teenaged boys—her half-brother Meer, charming but damaged Brock, and sullen Tatum. With Kingsley nowhere to be seen and no help from the mysterious June, Matilda must delve into the twisted heart of Hidden Beach in her search for answers. But secrets run thicker than blood, and blood runs like seawater. And everyone here is lying.
Come back to the world of We Were Liars for the summer; stay for the lies.
'This book will fill your heart—and break it. Compulsively readable to the very last page.' – Jennifer Lynn Barnes, New York Times bestselling author.
