Blackshear (A Shatter in the Woods #1)

"I was always being chased by monsters. Maybe I was one, too."

Mackenzie Hamill has been running her entire life, from a past soaked in blood to a legacy that refuses to stay buried.

Camp Blackshear was supposed to be her sanctuary. A place of summer dreams, stolen kisses, and first love. For seven summers, her life becomes entangled with Max McKinnon, her best friend, her protector, her constant.

But the woods don't forget.
And neither do the men who watch them.

As their connection deepens, the line between love and obsession fractures. Protection sharpens into control, and trust becomes a weapon that cuts both ways.

When the games turn deadly, survival demands loyalty, silence, and blood. Facing the darkness together is the only rule, until it isn't.

At Camp Blackshear, first love doesn't just linger.
It hunts.
