Will they make it to Billette Hall, or die by the hands of the murderous stalker that hunts them?

Southern United States, 1858

Fifteen-year-old Marion knows what happens to slaves who don’t obey the rules, but when an auction ends in the separation of families, she’s forced to break a few rules.

Armed with nothing more than a single shot in her revolver and just enough courage to forgo the dangers, Marion must help the displaced slaves escape a cruel slave master and lead them on a four-day trek through the wilderness to safety of Billette Hall.

Making matters worse, Marion and the rest of the escaped slaves soon discover that there are nightmares more frightening than the slavers.
They are being hunted!
A strange unknown man, covered in mud and wielding an axe, stalks them.

Everyone who has crossed his path is dead.

Marion and her tiny group of frightened men and women will suffer the same fate unless they can rise above their fear.

While this book has slaves in it, it is by far more than just about slavery. This story is a story of survival that will grab a hold of you and not let go. If you’re a fan of horror movies/stories then this is truly a great story for to indulge your fear into.

Wow what a great story

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2019

I loved this story. During a horrible time in history when so many people here and in other countries owned slaves, many treated them horribly, fortunately, this author chose to focus on the few people who worked toward treating slaves as human and equal, lest we forget those few people existed. Add to the horror of slavery, a horrifying killer on the loose who killed seemingly indiscriminately, whites as well as slaves, and did so in such a horrifying way.

My only struggle was the writing in the present tense which seemed a bit strange at times. Yet the story was so compelling and the storyline/plot so intriguing, it didn't matter in the end. I love this story. I have never read this author before but I will certainly watch for more good books from him.

I received this book as an ARC from AXP and am voluntarily providing an honest review.

Thrilling and moving.

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2019

I got hooked right from the beginning. This is a horror story inside a horror story. Slavery is horrifying enough, but if you add sadistic murders, what you have is a fast-paced, engaging thriller which also deals with themes like the right to life and freedom.

If that's not enough to attract you, think about great characters and writing, and emotionally involving plot. Me? I'm sold, and I'll be waiting for more books from DL Jones.

I received an ARC of this book, and this is my honest and voluntary review.
