Synopsis

After a mining explosion coated Moon Basin in ash, residents moved just outside the uninhabitable zone and set up a new settlement in the mine's shadow. Now, the New Basin relies on its haunted reputation to bring in tourists, but there’s
more truth to the rumors than most are willing to admit.

Lifelong New Basin residents Clem and Nina form a perfect loop—best friends forever, and perhaps something more. Their circle opens up for Lisey, an otherworldly girl with a knack for training crows; and new arrival Piper, whose dad
has been contracted to stabilize the mine. But the more time Piper’s dad spends down in the sweltering darkness, the more erratic his behavior becomes. He’s seeing things and hearing voices. Dirt clings to his skin, as if the mine is refusing to
let go. It’s up to Clem, Nina, Lisey, and Piper to break the mysterious hold the mine has on him. But the only way to do that is to enter the mine themselves.

When I saw this book compared to Wilder Girls and Sawkill Girls I knew I needed to add it to my TBR immediately. And this spooky story fit that description perfectly! I absolutely love the atmosphe......more

4.5 stars Reading this on a rainy night, alone in my room, was a mistake. I’m terrified, but it’s worth it, because this was so good! The plot revolves around around an ex-mining town that has long been rumoured to be haunted. We follow Clem, Nina, Lisey, and Piper — four close friends — as they inve......more

Goodreads review by Althea on September 23, 2021

I have been in a real sapphic horror kick and have been dying to pick this one up ever since it was first announced. I love a good spooky, mysterious town and this ticked so many boxes for me! To Break a Covenant follows Clem and her best friends Nina and Lisey as a new girl, Piper, comes to town. P......more
