The Lies That Bind by CarsonFaircloth

Cooper Daniels is alive. And really, after everything he survived in highschool, that should be enough. But college isn't the fresh start he was hoping for.

As past and present collide, Calla and Cooper must unite forces against a familiar enemy to solve one final mystery -- and maybe settle an old score or two. Good and evil. Right and wrong. Redemption and retribution. They'll have to decide for themselves which road to take. And we all know the road to hell is paved with good intentions. --- The third and final installment in the Psychopath Next Door trilogy. © All Rights Reserved
