‘A defiant stand against the things that haunt us. The ending shattered me in a way only Tarryn Fisher can!’ Colleen Hoover



Iris Walsh saw her twin sister, Piper, get kidnapped – so why does no one believe her?



Iris narrowly escaped her pretty, popular twin sister’s fate as a teen – vanished long before the cops agreed to investigate. With no evidence to go on but a few fractured memories, the case quickly went cold.

But Iris soon realizes that something even more sinister is simmering beneath the surface of the Shoal, and that the patients aren’t the only ones being observed…
