From the author of NY Times bestselling Dark and Shallow Lies comes a darkly atmospheric paranormal thriller, dripping with secrets and mystery. Seventeen-year-old Avril doesn't believe in ghosts, but she knows there are lots of different ways for places and people to be haunted. Twelve years ago her mother drowned at Whisper Cove. Local legend claims that the women in the waves – the ghosts from an old whaling village – called her mother into the ocean with their whispering. Because, as they say at Whisper Cove, what the sea wants, the sea will have. She has spent the past twelve years trying to make sense of the strange bits and pieces she does remember from the night she lost her mother. Stars falling into the sea. A blinding light. The odd sensation of flying. Now, at seventeen, Avril is returning to Whisper Cove for the first time as part of a summer theatre camp, and she hopes she might finally discover what really happened to her mother. As Avril becomes more involved with camp director Willa and her mysterious son Cole, Whisper Cove reveals itself to her. Distances seem to shift in the strange fog. Echos of long-past moments bounce off the marsh. And Avril keeps meeting herself—and her dead mother—late at night, at the edge of the ocean. The truth Avril seeks is ready to be discovered. But it will come at a terrible cost.

      In this dreamy paranormal tale from Sain (Dark and Shallow Lies), 17-year-old Avril Vincent travels to Whisper Cove off the Long Island Sound to attend an acting boot camp run by reclusive playwright Willa Culver. But Avril isn’t there just to study theater; she believes that Willa, once best friend to Avril’s late mother, may have answers regarding her mother’s mysterious drowning more than a decade prior. Avril only remembers waking up in a hospital the day her mother died, and her memories are cloudy, but upon arriving to town, she contends with hallucinations and traumatic flashbacks. Joined by her fellow campmates—including Willa’s brooding and enigmatic son Cole, with whom Avril develops a deep romantic relationship—she begins piecing together the truth about her mother’s past, and her own. With salient detail, Sain renders appropriately harrowing twists and reveals, and depicts a setting that reads as its own character, providing ethereal ambiance and a palpably unmoored feeling of anticipatory tension. The seething, surrealistic imagery is sure to stay lodged in readers’ minds long after they’ve finished. Most characters read as white. Ages 14–up.
