"Three friends. One unfinished story. A killer back from the depths to write his own ending-the bestselling authors and cohosts of the Killer Author Club join forces in this mind-bending thriller.
Fifteen years ago, a group of college girls known as the "Dead Air Five" exposed a campus predator on live radio, ending his reign of terror one dark, unforgettable night. When Jake vanished into the lake's black water, the world called it justice. The girls called it freedom.
They were wrong.
Now, Meg, Leah and Wren are settled into the ordinary lives they worked hard to build. But their quiet normalcy is shattered when strange things begin happening-things only Jake would know. As chilling patterns begin to emerge, the three friends realize that the darkness they buried may have returned-against all logic and possibly the very limits of science. Threatening messages and impossible events compel the women to reunite, only to uncover a truth more dangerous than they imagined.
Some monsters don't drown. They wait."

A woman receives an unexpected visitor during a deadly snowstorm in this chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf.
True crime writer Wylie Lark doesn't mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she's retreated to write her new book. A cozy fire, complete silence. It would be perfect, if not for the fact that decades earlier, at this very house, two people were murdered in cold blood and a girl disappeared without a trace.
As the storm worsens, Wylie finds herself trapped inside the house, haunted by the secrets contained within its walls-haunted by secrets of her own. Then she discovers a small child in the snow just outside. After bringing the child inside for warmth and safety, she begins to search for answers. But soon it becomes clear that the farmhouse isn't as isolated as she thought, and someone is willing to do anything to find them.
