What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

What happened at The Haven? Where is Cass’s family?
And will they ever escape?

Critics Review

The Haven is a smart, fierce thriller about an unravelling family, a corrupted utopia, and the wild hearts of teenage girls. I couldn’t look away

Lauren Beukes, internationally bestselling author of The Shining Girls

The Haven is a taut and propulsive story of a family in crisis, a shattering of innocence, and a savage fight for survival. I couldn’t put it down.

Sunday Times bestselling author Karen Perry

Fiona Neill has the sharpest eyes and ears for the nuance of family dynamics and of teenagers in particular and The Haven is a brilliant character led thriller that explores universal issues.

Lisa Jewell, Number One bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

An edgy and dark read
