They can fear them, yet can't fight back.
And worst of all,
They can end their own lives, but can never escape.
Eight lifelong friends set out for a weekend getaway at a secluded villa in Pine Barrens, New Jersey, unaware that their vacation will become a fight for survival. The sprawling, dark villa, owned by one of them, holds a terrifying secret: it's inhabited by vengeful demons that feed on fear.
Trapped in a nightmarish realm, the friends realize there's no way out. With each passing day, their hope fades, and survival becomes a distant dream.
Will they confront the evil and make it out alive-or will they face a fate worse than death?

Brave Enough To Love Again
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.
