Summary
Locals whisper that the woods are haunted, cursed, or worse — but most don’t talk about it at all.
Eighteen-year-old Evelyn Hale has grown up with those whispers, but she doesn’t believe them — not really. Not until the nightmares begin.
Her father, the town sheriff, shares little about the strange forest and mysterious disappearances of girls from neighboring towns. But the town is on edge, and Evelyn can’t shake the feeling that whatever is out there is getting closer.
To escape her monotonous life, Evelyn works at the little holistic shop once run by her late mother — a woman whose death in those very woods remains an unhealed wound. There, among the scent of dried herbs and cheap charms, Evelyn begins to draw the attention of a stranger and his brothers, who keep showing up in the cracks of her life. There’s something wrong about them — something wild and unsettling — but she can't help but feel drawn to the strangeness of them.
As Evelyn’s nightmares blur into waking visions, she becomes convinced the forest is calling to her — that it knows her. What waits in the pines is older than Briarwood, older than the town’s faded history. And whatever it is, it isn’t finished with the Hale family. -

A girl no older than 8, who reminds you so much of yourself that your feet are moving before you can think, the commands to STOP following after you drowned out by the pounding in your ears.-
