Twilight meets The Mist in this fresh, atmospheric paranormal romance (Booklist) about a mysterious island and the houses who have stood for centuries to guard against the dreaded nightmare of beings waiting to strike from the oceans depths.
On a forgotten part of Nova Scotia, there lies an island.
On that island are Eleven Houses.
In those houses sit eleven ancient families.
And they are waiting
Mabel is one of the last surviving members of House Beuvry, one of the eleven houses on the haunted island of Weymouth. Her days, like all the other teens on the island, are spent readying her house for The Storm: a once-a-decade event that pummels the island with hurricane-level wind, water, and waves. But thats not all the Storm brings with itbecause Weymouth Island is a gate between the worlds of the living and the dead.
When Miles Cabot arrives on Weymouth Island after the death of his mother, he realizes quickly it isnt like other placesand Mabel Beuvry isnt like other teenagers. Theres an intense chemistry between Miles and Mabel that both feel, yet neither understandnor the deadly consequences that will come with it.
With the suspicious death of an island elder, a strained dynamic with her younger sister Hali, and the greatest Storm in years edging ever closer, Mabels life is becoming as chaotic as the weather. One thing becomes clear: if the fortified houses of Weymouth Island cant stand against the dead, then sheand everyone she loveswill pay the price.
Fares Well the House Thats Ready.
