Backstabbers

Description

When three friends lose their way in a serial killer’s old hunting ground, they must fight to survive the threat in the woods–and each other–in this spiky, heart-pounding slasher.

“One of the most twisted and shocking explorations of female friendship I’ve read . . . and I loved every pulse-pounding moment.”–Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here

Never turn your back on a friend.

Jade, Stef, and Zoe are hiking Washington State’s Bones Hollow Trail, braving cougars, black bears, and storms that roll in without warning. Their anxiety isn’t helped by listening to a true crime podcast about the serial killer who once prowled this same forest.

When Stef twists her ankle–badly–there’s no one to hear them scream for help. The only sign of life for miles is a cabin that looks to be straight out of a horror movie, occupied by a man who’s all too eager to invite them in.

As things take a chilling turn, the friends must find a way to stay alive together. After all, who can you trust when your back’s against the wall? Unfortunately for them, the only thing more twisted than this nightmare is their friendship . . .
