  In the wilds of Alaska, someone sinister is hunting...
  
  
  Alexandra Collister came to her estranged cousins’ B&B in Falls Lake, Alaska,
  looking for a fresh start. The surrounding forest can be harsh and
  unforgiving—luckily, rugged wilderness tracker Quinn Mantell offers to be her
  guide. Still recovering from a toxic previous relationship, Alex is wary of
  getting too close, but when savagely deep claw marks appear outside her
  bedroom window, keeping her distance from Quinn is no longer an option.
  
  
  Then a body turns up exhibiting the same ruthless slash marks, and Alex knows
  it isn’t a coincidence. Something sinister is lurking in the woods around
  Falls Lake, turning Alex’s fresh start into a brutal game of survival. The
  murky veil of forest offers more threats than answers. Can Alex and Quinn find
  the killer before darkness falls for good?
