You Can't Stay

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

The Ritual meets True Detective meets Vikings-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.

Wow!
Fast paced, suspenseful, thrilling and unputdownable. What a wild ride!

I didn't really know what to expect going into this and I'm glad I went into it blindly. I had zero expectations and I was completely swept away by the storyline.
