The Cousins

 If you haven't read a Karen McManus book yet, you are missing out. In her newest tome, three cousins are called home to the island resort owned by their grandmother. Their parents had been disowned and not allowed to contact their mother. So when the kids get a chance to go to the island to get back into her good graces, they are left with no choice but to go. Milly, Jonah and Aubrey Story have never met. They have no choice but to become fast friends as they are thrown into a summer of intrigue and lies. Why were their parents banished? Why is their grandmother ignoring them? And are they even who they claim to be? As the summer goes on, the cousins are forced to look deep into their family's past and they may not like what they find. As each deception comes to light, they have to figure out what really happened 24 years ago to unravel the mystery of their grandmother. But long held secrets coming to life can be dangerous and deciding who to trust may be a matter of life or death. I couldn't put this down as most of her books. The twists and turns keep you reading long past your allotted reading time. Happy reading my friends.
