An atmospheric thriller from Nichelle Giraldes that'll make you question whether you can trust anyone, even those closest to you.

The forest is hungry, and her family's secrets are tangled in the trees...

Lia Gregg always hoped to outgrow her fear of the woods surrounding her childhood home. The dark, menacing trees have long been the site of whispered legends and disappearances of girls like her. But after a breakup sends her back to live with her family, the woods feel more sinister than ever.

When a teenage girl disappears from their backyard, Lia's childhood fear becomes terrifyingly real. The missing girls are no longer just faces on the news. Now, the danger is closer than she imagined, and her younger sister could be next.

As Lia digs into the disappearances, she begins to suspect her mother knows more about the forest—and the horrors within—than she's letting on. To save her sister and uncover the truth, Lia must confront the secrets lurking in the trees and the darkness they conceal...before it's too late.

Hauntingly powerful. – Darcy Coates, USA Today bestselling author, for No Child of Mine

Haunting and eerie...will chill your spine. I highly recommend it. – Amy Lukavics, author of Daughters Unto Devils, for No Child of Mine
