Trust the One

Amelia never wanted to move to the country.

She expected silence, empty roads, and a boring new life far away from everything she knew in Iowa. Instead, she found something much worse.

A town where people carry guns like it's normal. A father who starts acting stranger by the day. A school filled with people who feel like they're hiding something. And deep in the woods surrounding the town... something is watching.

When Amelia meets Jillian, a quiet girl with too many secrets, everything begins to change. Strange disappearances, late-night warnings, a brutal attack that leaves her father fighting for his life, and the growing feeling that someone-or something-is following her.

As Amelia digs deeper, she discovers the truth about the town is far darker than she ever imagined.

The police aren't ignoring the crimes.

They're distracted by the creatures that come out at night.

Now trapped in a nightmare of secrets, fear, and survival, Amelia must decide who she can trust before it's too late. Because once the truth is uncovered, there's no going back.

And some secrets were buried for a reason.
