Synopsis

Warren Bullock always thought he was a decent person. But lately he's been haunted by a sinister voice in his head urging him to commit unspeakable acts of violence against the people around him.

And then the rumors start . . . There have been a string of disappearances in southeastern Kansas, and his father's friend is one of the missing travelers. When Warren's father leaves to investigate and doesn't return, Warren knows this is his chance to prove that he is stronger than his darkest impulses.

As he makes his way through Kansas, he finds himself at a suspicious inn run by the Benders, a family with deeply unsettling mannerisms. They watch every move he makes, stand over him in his sleep, and the daughter seems to be able to see into both the past and future.

As he delves further into the disappearances, he realizes one or all of the Benders may be responsible for all the missing people—and might be the reason his father never came home. It's up to Warren to set things right, even if that means giving into the voice he has been working so hard to ignore.

Thanks to SourceBooksFire for my advance copy of this book - releases Aug 6, 2024 This was a great read. Although it takes place back when horses were peoples only transportation, as you read this it feels like a modern-day setting while still having that western touch. So if you like westerns, or do......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on September 01, 2024

Usually, when I finish a book by this author, I am left wanting more. You'd think that was a good thing, but it's not in this case. I always feel like there was something missing or lacking, and the story wasn't wholly finished. This book did not leave me feeling too much of that, and I'm so glad! I......more
