Among the Pines

by LennoxFields

One tiny town. Seven students. One huge mystery. Welcome to Pine Hill.

A town drenched in secrets and drama, where an innocuous autumn is tainted by a series of sinister disappearances. Accusations begin to fly as secrets are unravelled and the town is swallowed by shadows.

Stella, thrust into the drama by her own dark and disturbing circumstances, comes to understand the bond between the other students and finds herself pulled deeper and deeper into the heart of the town.

But not everything to be discovered there is as innocent as it appears. The senior class of Pine Hill High is embroiled in a deep web of lies and deceit, not to mention drama, secrets, romance and mystery that will keep you on your toes from page one.

Isn't it obvious? The king has gone mad.
