A brand new YA horror that's steeped in tricks and a terrifying hunt to the death, think Hansel and Gretel meets Five Survive . . .

They're being hunted. . .

When sixteen-year-old Georgie and her troublemaking brother are shipped off to the wilderness for their stepmother’s newest reality show, Georgie is convinced it’ll be the worst experience of her life. Two weeks. No phones. Hiking. Camping. And cameras catching every humiliating second.

Then she meets Mack Gray. Tattooed, unreadable, and—among a cast of kids already branded as trouble—he’s the one she’s sure is dangerous.

One night, the counselors are chanting affirmations around the fire. By morning, they’re gone.

But the kids are not alone.

Georgie can feel it, stalking them from the shadows—watching, waiting, picking them off one by one. Whatever it is, it isn’t just hunting.

It’s playing.

And in this game, there seems to be only one ending: no one gets out alive.

PRAISE FOR LINDSAY LOVISE

Lindsay writes historical and paranormal romances with brave heroines and a twist of mystery

Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Sensual love scenes and simmering suspense combine to make this a true page-turner

Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Lovise’s spellbinding thriller is a great riff on Hansel and Gretel.

Booklist

The novel’s Survivor-esque reality TV vibe and dark fairy-tale horror make for a grimly propulsive read.
