Her two best friends insisted she needed the detox, meditation, and most of all, distance from her complicated ex, Noah. No phones, no distractions, just a chance to reset and move on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Morgan isn't sure she wants to move on. All she really wants is for Noah to apologize for the affair that ruined their chance at happiness. From the outside, she appears to have it all: she's built a life of success in the big city, far from her rough childhood. But she grew up clinging to the survivalist skills her alcoholic father taught her before he drank himself to death. Self-reinvention was her way out, and she made sure \u003ci\u003eno one\u003c\/i\u003e would ever figure out where she came from--not even Noah.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, as Morgan tries to bury her heartbreak in spiritual escape, she can't shake the feeling that something's wrong with the Namaste Center and its oddly serene staff. A mountain lion lies gutted on the road, its blood melting the snow. The guru's serene chants twist into eerie rituals by firelight. And in the meditation garden, stick figures left by past guests sway in the branches, taunting Morgan with shadows that feel alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs cryptic warnings from a hunter echo through the trees and the other women begin to mysteriously disappear, Morgan's instincts scream \"danger\" and she realizes she's not here to heal. Something sinister stalks these woods. Driven by a need to uncover the truth and a desperate desire to survive, she digs in. Noah may have broken her heart, but whatever's lurking here has the power to break far more--if she doesn't break \u003ci\u003eit\u003c\/i\u003e first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A wild ride through the dark territory of love, mystery, and horror.
