In Cold Creek, being human is dangerous. Being the wrong kind of human is fatal. *** Seventeen-year-old Kelsey expects nothing worse than awkward family dinners when she moves into her father's isolated hometown. Instead, she walks into a community ruled by old bloodlines, unwritten laws, and predators who don't need to bare their teeth to make a threat clear. No one explains the rules. No one tells her why the forest watches her. And no one tells her why the town reacts to her scent like it's a warning. Her father is unraveling. Her grandparents are hiding something monstrous. And the boy she was warned never to go near is the only one who understands the danger she's stepped into. The closer Kelsey gets to the truth, the more she realizes the threat isn't just in the woods; its in the people drawn to her, driven by instincts that can override reason in a heartbeat.
