'Nail-bitingly tense...leaves you gasping for breath' SARAH PEARSE
The waves are to die for. It's a paradise they'd kill to keep.
There's a darkness inside all of us and The Bay has a way of bringing it out. Everyone here has their secrets but we don't go looking for them. Because sometimes it's better not to know.
Kenna arrives in Sydney to surprise her best friend, shocked to hear she's going to marry a guy she's only just met. But Mikki and her fiancé Jack are about to head away on a trip, so Kenna finds herself tagging along for the ride.
Sorrow Bay is beautiful, wild and dangerous. A remote surfing spot with waves to die for, cut off from the rest of the world. Here Kenna meets the mysterious group of people who will do anything to keep their paradise a secret. Sky, Ryan, Clemente and Victor have come to ride the waves and disappear from life. How will they feel about Kenna turning up unannounced?
As Kenna gets drawn into their world, she sees the extremes they are prepared to go to for the next thrill. And everyone seems to be hiding something. What has her best friend got involved in and how can she get her away? But one thing is rapidly becoming clear about The Bay: nobody ever leaves.

Customer Reviews
Big waves
This story is about a bay that keen surfers want to keep hidden from other surfers, because there is a lot of rivalry for good waves. That is only the beginning! Read on for all the cross wires and trust issues that go with a group of ’friends’. Very good story.
The Beach meets Chasing Mavericks – A hugely addictive read!
After reading Allie’s debut Shiver and loving it, I was very excited to sink my teeth into The Bay. Different to any other thriller that I’ve read and very unique, this is a book I highly recommend you read this summer!
When Kenna finds out that her best friend is getting married soon, she decides to surprise her by flying to see her in Australia! Mikki is shocked but doesn’t seem that pleased by Kenna’s arrival, but why? Instantly Kenna isn’t keen on Mikki’s fiancé Jack and can tell something isn’t quite right about him, so she decides to make it her mission to convince her friend not to get wed and return home to the UK instead.
Convincing her will take time though, so Kenna ends up joining Mikki and Jack on a surfing trip to a place called Sorrow Bay. On arrival, she meets their friends, collectively known as ‘the tribe’. Made to feel very unwanted and unwelcome by this strange bunch of surfers who all have secrets to hide, Kenna no longer fears for just Mikki’s safety but for her own too!
This book is fast-paced, action-packed and expertly written. With so many unreliable characters it was hard to know who to trust, I changed my mind multiple times about who I thought was up to no good, but I didn’t guess correctly and I love how shocked and surprised I felt at the end of the book.
This story is also incredibly atmospheric, I could almost hear the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and smell the wax on the boards! Allie has done an amazing job with writing this story so that the reader feels completely immersed in it. I’ve not stopped thinking about it since I finished it and would love to meet some of the characters again in another book one day!
I could go on raving about this book, but for now, I suggest you ‘carve’ some space in your time and ‘drop in’ on this riptide of a ride summer thriller. You will not be disappointed!
