I was sent the link for The Cove today through Netgalley and immediately thought it sounded like a really interesting premise, and not necessarily a story I would usually pick up. I thought, I’ll just read the first chapter and see how I like the writing style and see if I wanted to continue reading it soon. THEN I COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN. I needed to see where the story ended, I was trying to figure out where it was going and I was so invested I nearly burned my dinner because I couldn’t take my eyes off of my kindle. What a wild ride. It has mystery, intrigue, characters you never quite know who to trust/what to believe, found family. I flew through this like I said in one sitting, couldn’t go to sleep because I just needed to know how it ended. It was worth the lack of sleep I’ll get tonight, and highly recommend reading this book. I’m normally a fantasy, romantasy, rom com, monster romance reader, so again was not sure if I’d like this story and was so unbelievably surprised and delighted. Cannot wait for it to come out in May so I can get a shelf trophy to display on my bookshelf.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC! When I saw this being promoted as a Midsommar meets Fear Street I knew I had to have it. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The book begins with Lindsay being expelled from yet another boarding school. Her parents, who are always too busy to actually parent, send her to live with an Uncle she hasn't seen in years and his new wife she has never even met. The house is very secluded on the outskirts of a very small town in rural Maine. When she arrives she doesn't find her Uncle but there is four more "troubled" teens living there with her uncles new wife. She knows there is something definitely wrong with "Haven House" but can't quite figure out exactly what.

The suspense in this novel had me itching to read the next page, the next chapter. This book was virtually impossible to put down! The plot was twisty and turny, exactly what you want in a horror thriller. I was very satisfied at how everything got wrapped up in the end. One piece of advice I will give for anyone who reads The Cove is TRUST NO ONE!
