Uncover the Secrets That Whisper in the Mountains Above Pine Haven

In the chilling embrace of Pine Haven, where the echoes of the past intertwine with the whispers of the present, Jessie thought she'd found a haven from her nightmares. Her brush with death was supposed to be the end of her trials, not the beginning of a new, darker journey. Yet, the tranquil facade of her new home shatters when a plea for help pulls her into the heart of a mystery that is as unsettling as it is urgent.

A friend's desperate search for truth about her best friend's mysterious demise leads Jessie to the rugged mountains of North Carolina, a place where young women vanish without a trace. The deeper Jessie delves into the investigation, the more she realizes that Pine Haven conceals horrors far surpassing anything she faced in her military past.

Amidst the dense forests lies an abandoned ghost town, its eerie silence belying the nightmares lurking within. This ghost town, thought to be long forgotten, holds the key to secrets that have been buried for generations. As Jessie peels back layers of deceit, she finds herself facing terrors that challenge the limits of her courage and determination.

Will Jessie unravel the sinister mysteries buried in the heart of the mountains, or will she become yet another whisper among the pines? Dive into a thriller where every page reveals a darker turn, and the only way out is to confront the past head-on. Join Jessie and Blizzard as they face the ultimate test of survival in a town that plays by its own rules, where every shadow hides a story, and the truth is more chilling than the mountain air.

Darkest Knight

I enjoyed reading this very much. You read about people who have been up in the mountains their patients Blue Ridge family back to the 1600s and with the inbreeding that went with it. This was an excellent story that shows what could happen in a area like that. I can’t wait to be the next one and continue this whole series.

Accident?

Interesting story. When Jessie took the job to find out about what they called an accident of a woman only to discover it wasn't an accident but a horrible murder. She was involved in a series of questionable disappearance of young women. Held my breath in some parts of the story.

Well written

The imagination of this writer is off the scale. How she comes up with these wild scenarios is amazing. Her books have gruesome details and some foul language I don't approve of.
