The Hunt was supposed to be harmless.
A Crowsfell University tradition.
This year, someone changed the rules.

It felt like a joke until the cryptic texts turned into threats, and masked figures started lurking in the shadows.

Now, my friends and I are trapped in a game we never agreed to play.
Secrets are surfacing, tensions are rising, and the line between trust and betrayal is blurring faster than I can keep up.

Then there’s Ryder Voss.
My best friend. My anchor. The one person who’s always been there.
The golden boy hiding far too much darkness.

He isn’t just protective anymore, he’s relentless.
The more things spiral, the more possessive he gets.

I crave his obsession as much as I fear it.
Because if the boy who’s always saved me decides to ruin me?
I’ll let him.

None of us are ready for what’s coming.
And without him, I don’t stand a chance.
