About the Book
When Sarah Merson receives the opportunity of a lifetime to attend the most elite prep school in the country-Sanctuary Bay Academy-it seems almost too good to be true. But, after years of bouncing from foster home to foster home, escaping to its tranquil setting, nestled deep in Swans Island, couldn’t sound more appealing. Swiftly thrown into a world of privilege and secrets, Sarah quickly realizes finding herself noticed by class charmer, Nate, as well as her roommate’s dangerously attentive boyfriend, Ethan, are the least of her worries. When her roommate suddenly goes missing, she finds herself in a race against time, not only to find her, but to save herself and discover the dark truth behind Sanctuary Bay’s glossy reputation.
In this genre-bending YA thriller, Sanctuary Bay by Laura J. Burns and Melinda Metz, Sarah’s new school may seem like an idyllic temple of learning, but as she unearths years of terrifying history and manipulation, she discovers this “school” is something much more sinister.

Boarding schools are always such a great setting for creepiness! The cover is totally eerie and really fits the story!
I am really hungry for a scary thriller to entertain me after some dense reads of late — this story sounds like what I’m craving! Thanks, Kara S
It looks very suspenseful
[b]What do you think of the cover & synopsis?[/b]
I think the cover is neat, and well-thought of. I love all the details provided. I like how the branches surround the girl, whilst being at the edges of the cover. The way her hair is flying to one side, and it appears as if she’s looking away at something, makes it seem like she has a “long way to go”. All the features of the cover fit in with the summary, which makes the story more suspenseful, and makes [i]me[/i] more curious about the story’s plot! I love how the history of the boarding school she goes to is involved because those are always a great way to fill in a story’s plot! I am intrigued by the fact that her roommate goes missing, and she wants to find a way through time to not only save her roommate, but to find out the [b]dark[/b] truth behind Sanctuary Bay’s [b]glossy[/b] reputation, which I sense is very [b]dark[/b], but it’s only left for me to find out!
The trees are “dead” and the wind is blowing–this makes me want to hug myself and get somewhere safe, which is not at the school. Perfect match of cover and synopsis!
