“Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story are cousins, but they barely know each another, and they've never even met their grandmother. Rich and reclusive, she disinherited their parents before they were born. So when they each receive a letter inviting them to work at her island resort for the summer, they're surprised . . . and curious.
Their parents are all clear on one point—not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother's good graces. But when the cousins arrive on the island, it's immediately clear that she has different plans for them. And the longer they stay, the more they realize how mysterious—and dark—their family's past is.
The entire Story family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn't over—and this summer, the cousins will learn everything.” - taken from Goodreads.com
I wholeheartedly believe that Karen McManus is a master of YA mystery. The Cousins was so different from her previous YA books that the reader is left hanging until the very end to see what really has happened. The four Story children; Adam, Anders, Allison, and Archer, are banished from their mother's life with a letter from her attorney is it states “you know what you did.”. They never hear from her again, not even after marriages or the birth of their children.
When the three Story grandchildren, Millie, Aubrey, and Jonah; receive letters offering them summer employment at their grandmother's luxury resort, their parents leave them no choice. Soon, they find themselves deep in the infamous Story mystery.
Full of shocking twists, turns, and reveals, readers will be holding their breath until the very end.
