Publisher’s Summary

Five days. Twenty strangers. No way out.

The rafting trip was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. But Kaia’s starting to think she made a mistake.

Because ever since the whispers about Camas Creek began, all she feels is dread.

Seven years earlier, a guide murdered a group of rafters on this same isolated stretch of water. The killer’s body was recovered downstream—but the true-crime community has never stopped asking questions.

And for good reason.

The incidents start small—a flipped raft, missing supplies, and screams in the night—but the pattern is sickeningly familiar. And with eighty-four miles of whitewater until any sign of civilization, safety has never felt so far away.

Kaia suspects that one of the guides is lying. One of the guests knows more than she’s saying. And somewhere on this river, someone is planning to finish what started at Camas Creek.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying

5/5 stars — “Loveeeee”
Gripping, action thriller plot and couldn’t stop listening! Loved the fasted pace right from the beginning!

— Kelly Lynn, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Reddit for the WIN! The hype is REAL! “
This story just kept going. I will never be able to float down a river without wondering “what if…” I could visualize being there and the conversations and struggles between the ladies. The REDDIT addition was such a realistic possibility for anyone familiar with their platform. The characters were very believable. I couldn’t stop reading this once I started. Excellent read and narration! The hype is REAL!

— Susie, Audible listener

3/5 stars — “Gore “
This is a story of gore more than a thriller. It’s quick and easy to uncover the twist. There are only a few parts of the story that focus on the twist. The rest is describing the adventure or the kills. There were several times that I was disappointed it was not over yet. That said, it was entertaining and mostly held my attention. I don’t need to read this again or recommend it.
