"this book is dark, intense and hard to put down. It also puts a capital letter H in 'horror'" ?YA Dude Books
In this thrilling conclusion to the Blackthorn Peak duology, secrets and manipulations are revealed, and no one is who they seem.
Six months after Shaun Treadway and his friends escaped Blackthorn Peak Asylum, they are hiding deep in the Appalachian Mountains where food is scarce, and help is even scarcer. There is no where they can go, and no one they can trust.
Then everything changes one gray October day...
When Shaun discovers that the Agency has returned to the asylum and activity has reignited with a vengeance, any hope he had, as fleeting as it was, comes crashing down. The Agency will never stop its mission to rid the world of "problem" teens.
Worse, he knows the Agency is coming after them, but so is the law. Shaun and his friends must face two terrifying prospects: be annihilated by the Agency or face the death penalty if arrested. With these odds, what is there to fight for?
But Shaun is no quitter. Forced to dig deep into his altruistic nature, Shaun vows to take down the Agency once and for all. Not just for himself, but for those he's come to love more than his own life. Because the one thing Shaun knows is that no matter the odds, it's always worth the fight when you're fighting for what's right.
