What to expect

There's a darkness inside all of us and The Bay has a way of bringing it out. Everyone here has their secrets but we don't go looking for them. Because sometimes it's better not to know.

The waves are to die for at The Bay. It's a paradise they would kill to keep. The Beach meets Point Break in the thriller of the summer by Allie Reynolds.

Kenna arrives in Sydney to surprise her best friend, shocked to hear she's going to marry a guy she's only just met. But Mikki and her fiancé Jack are about to head away on a trip, so Kenna finds herself tagging along for the ride.

Sorrow Bay is beautiful, wild and dangerous. A remote surfing spot with waves to die for, cut off from the rest of the world. Here Kenna meets the mysterious group of people who will do anything to keep their paradise a secret. Sky, Ryan, Clemente and Victor have come to ride the waves and disappear from life. How will they feel about Kenna turning up unannounced?

As Kenna gets drawn into their world, she sees the extremes they are prepared to go to for the next thrill. And everyone seems to be hiding something. What has her best friend got involved in and how can she get her away? But one thing is rapidly becoming clear about The Bay: nobody ever leaves.

Critics Review

  • As with her mind-blowing debut, Allie has delivered yet another tense, twisty, addictive read. The vivid world and fascinating characters of The Bay will stay with me for some time!

    Jo Spain

  • I loved it. Gave me the same sinister-yet-you-wish-you-were-there vibes of The Beach, combined with Allie’s trademark ability to cast suspicion on everyone. I had to keep turning the pages to the end!

    Amy McCulloch

  • A compulsive page-turner. The hidden motives of this surf-worshipping cultish group of friends, who would do anything necessary to protect their hidden beach from the outside world, maintained a taut suspense that truly had me until the very last page

    Sally Thorne

  • Sun, sand, surf and suspense, The Bay is drenched in atmosphere, tension and intrigue

    Emma Haughton

  • A tense and gripping thriller about friendship and obsession. Kept me guessing until the very end

    Jo Jakeman

  • A thrill-ride of a novel, The Bay brings together a cast of sinister characters on a remote, surf-pounded beach, where no one is what they seem. A high-octane, addictive summer read, perfect for your beach bag
