About this listen

'Edgy, gripping and full of menace' Hannah Richell

An abandoned resort seems the perfect place to hide, but is Barren Cape a refuge or a trap?


Former housemates Mac and Erika are homeless.

Well, Erika is fine, she just has to live with her parents until she can find another rental. Mac's situation is much worse—family isn't an option and she's surfing the couches of her increasingly exasperated friends.

Driving around one lonely afternoon, Mac discovers Barren Cape. Once destined to be a luxury escape, now it's just wire fence and gray cement.

It's stark, but quiet. There's no harm in staying a little while…

From the bestselling author of The Rush comes a spine-chilling thriller about what happens when people are pushed to the edge and forced to make unthinkable choices.

‘Taut, terrifying and timely’ B.M. Carroll

An entertaining read that changes pace when you least expect

Great character development. The audio book is well cast. You will connect with the characters and get frustrated with them as things progress. Recommended.
