Trail of Obsession: The Predator / Prey Thriller Series: Book One
About this ebook
Zoe thought she was ready to trust again. Heading into Yosemite’s rugged wilderness with her new boyfriend, Mike, was supposed to be a step forward—a chance to bond over breathtaking trails and nights under the stars.
But paradise shatters when a deadly stalker emerges from the forest, killing members of their group and leaving Zoe with more questions than answers about Mike’s shadowy past.
When the stalker kidnaps Mike, Zoe finds herself on a terrifying scavenger hunt through the unforgiving backwoods, facing brutal terrain, chilling threats, and her own fears. With danger closing in, Zoe can’t rely on anyone but herself.
Survival means outsmarting the killer—and learning the truth about the man she thought she knew. Will Zoe rescue Mike in time? Or will his secrets destroy them both?
"For fans of The Last Mrs. Parrish, Lucy Foley, and Mary Stone—this edge-of-your-seat thriller combines survival, betrayal, and empowerment in a story you won’t be able to put down!"
