Publisher Description
Survival and cosmic horror collide in this new series, perfect for fans of LOST and House of Leaves.
For Dr. Siena Dupont and her ambitious team, the Alpenglow glacier expedition is a career-defining opportunity. But thirty miles into the desolate Deadswitch Wilderness, they discover a missing hiker dangling from a tree, and their satellite phone fails to call out.
Then the body vanishes without a trace.
The disappearance isn't the only chilling anomaly. Siena's map no longer aligns with the trail. The glacier they were supposed to study has inexplicably melted. Strange foliage overruns the mountainside, and a tunnel within a tree hollow lures Siena to a hidden cabin, and a stranger with a sinister message…
Holden Sharpe's IT job offers little distraction from his wasted potential until he stumbles upon a decommissioned hard drive and an old audio file. Trapped on a mountain, Dr. Siena Dupont recounts an expedition in chaos and the bloody death of a colleague.
Entranced by the mystery, Holden searches for answers to Siena's fate. But he is unprepared for the truth that will draw him to the outskirts of Deadswitch Wilderness—a place teeming with unfathomable nightmares and impossibilities.
"A new robust literary voice delivers an eerie, intense story." —Kirkus Reviews
Customer Reviews
Good read
Well written and an interesting story so far. A few of the flashbacks felt redundant and unnecessary, like I got kind of tired of hearing the same stuff about Avery whose significance is still very unclear. And this is just a small thing but…what’s up with this author and people’s necks? Sweat dripped down her neck. She swatted a mosquito off the back her neck. Hair stood on the back of her neck. My husband who is also reading this didn’t really notice until I said something, but she has a thing for talking about what’s going on with characters’ necks lol. Aside from those minor things I think it’s a great read so far.
Needed better dialogue and character dev
Interesting story, but the characters lacked substance for me and fell flat.

Okay, but not my cup of tea
