an·dro·pho·bia | \ ˌan-drə-ˈfō-bē-ə noun : an abnormal dread of men : repugnance to the male sex Thea is the definition of sweetness. Whether it be stopping to talk to a homeless person in the streets or volunteering overtime at her local charity shop, she feels the need to give and not take. Although that comes with disadvantages of its own, the effects of a strange phobia of hers only make her life more difficult: her growing fear of men. And when she meets the most terrifying of them all, she is forced to ultimately confront her fear. In the form of a murderous member of the mafia by the name of Synn, that same uncontrollable terror that she experiences in the presence of a man only sparks an interest in him. But unbeknownst to Synn, a man who revels at the tremor of his enemies, he cannot figure out why her wide, teary eyes do not give him the same pleasure. Why does that same terror-stricken look on Thea's face only make his heart clench with pain instead of content? #1 in Hot #1 in Fear #1 in Scared #1 in Sweet #1 in Kind #3 in Cute #5 in Love Cover done by @kimtherespeopledying

Duskford Pines isn't on any map, but it has a way of pulling people in-and keeping them there. Brooke Taylor has lived here her whole life. Ella Liu followed the wrong boy here. And Audrey Fitzgerald is still figuring out why she stayed. Together, they've survived late-night diner runs, broken hearts, and the quiet strangeness of a town where the trees lean a little too close. But when students start vanishing, rumors twist through the campus and something dark stirs in the woods. Brooke, Ella, and Audrey are drawn into a mystery that feels older than the town itself-one that doesn't just threaten to expose the secrets around them, but the ones they've been keeping from each other. Because in Duskford Pines, something is always watching.
