Haven Cove, 1989 — a seemingly cozy seaside town hiding dark secrets. Writers are disappearing, and a secret society might know why.
Seventeen-year-old Josie Worthington has always been a rebel—obsessed with ‘80s alternative music and dreaming of becoming a writer. When she lands a cadetship at the local newspaper to pen the Sincerely Yours advice column, her life takes a chilling turn.
Enter Blaine Cordwell, the mysterious son of a famous L.A. rock star, running from the spotlight. Drawn to Josie’s honesty and fearless spirit, Blaine finds in her something real—something the rest of his world lacks.
But when anonymous letters start arriving at the paper, warning Josie she’ll vanish forever unless she and Blaine uncover the truth about Haven Cove, their connection becomes a lifeline. Together, they must face the darkness beneath the town’s picture-perfect surface.
Packed with ‘80s nostalgia, slow-burn dark romance, and a mixtape that rivals Stranger Things, this unforgettable story will tug at your heartstrings and leave you questioning what’s real—and what’s written in destiny.
