When Minn Bellamy and her teenaged son decide to spend their spring hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains, the last thing they expect is to stumble across a town so isolated it seems as if the supernatural has taken them back in time.  Warm welcomes quickly turn ominous as mysterious circumstances force them to stay and the strangers' traditions become increasingly sinister. The townsfolk have ulterior motives, Minn's past is about to catch up with her, and the aims of the forces in the surrounding forest are far from friendly.

Monsters don't only appear at night. Sometimes they follow you around like a shadow even when the sun is shining bright. Evangeline didn't know when she left her house she would never be able to return again. The monster took a liking to her and used Evangeline as a personal puppet or even a pet. She will never be able to escape the strong grasp of the monster. This story has a Spotify playlist which you can find the link to that and my other social media on my profile. Warning: This book contains violence and grief. If those topics make you uncomfortable that I suggest not reading further.
