Description

S.T. Ashman, author of I Kill Killers, returns with a horror thriller that tightens its grip with every page. Once you start, there’s no turning back.

True Detective meets Vikings meets The Ritual—a hauntingly original knockout.


Not everything lost should be found.

When Esther’s sister vanishes without a trace, no one cares—not for a struggling addict.

But Esther refuses to let the only family she has left slip away. Her search becomes an obsession, uncovering whispers of a dark secret others have died to keep buried.

Dozens of disappearances.

The same location.

The same lie.

Every year, the government sends a group of people deep into New Hampshire’s White Mountains.

And every year, they don’t return.

Soon, another group of people will be sent into the woods. And this time, Esther will be among them.

But not everything lost should be found. In the heart of the wilderness, some secrets are meant to die.

I just finished the book. And holy cow! It was so good. Twists and turns all the way to the ending. Norse mythology is so intriguing and I’ve been wanting to explore it lately so that was perfect timing. I didn’t know who to really trust at the end. You did it again my friend. Took me only 3 days to read and earned 5⭐️ from me.

Wow, wow, wow. This has got to be the best book I have read this year. I literally could not put this one down. I don't even know what genre to fit this one into because it has a few mixed in. This one is a thriller mixed with so much more! I don't want to give anything away. I went in blindly to this one and was so glad I didn't know what to expect. It starts as a mystery to figure out where groups of missing people are disappearing to...is it a serial killer or much worse? The main character is an amazing woman who has overcome so much only to keep getting stuck having to fight to just be content in life. Very relatable! She is looking for her sister and will do any and everything to find her...at first I thought, ok, this is going to be like every other missing person read. Same basic concepts. NOPE!! This book had me Googling so much during the read and I learned a lot about ancient and native cultures, it was fascinating! The main man in this one has also had to overcome his own demons, and I felt for them both main characters during this adventure. This is definitely the sort of read I dream of when I start a new book! I cannot wait to read more from this author now and I am SO grateful for the publisher for allowing me this ARC read. It was a thrilling ride! :)
