When Marie Vasquez was twelve, she escaped the thing in the woods. But people forget that she wasn't alone. Jonas Vogt was with her that morning, and that was the last time he was seen.
Now eighteen, Marie is held responsible for her own actions, actions that she swears aren't hers. Left with no other option, she runs back to the cabin she escaped so long ago and answers old questions, including the question of whether promises stand when circumstances change.

Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?"

I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.
