About this book

A romantic getaway. A remote swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

After everything she’s survived, Shelby Moore is finally getting a break. No haunted asylums. No shadow figures. No ghosts breathing down her neck.

Just a long-awaited trip to the Louisiana swamp to meet Brock Daltry… and maybe, finally, figure out what’s been simmering between them.

It’s supposed to be simple. Relaxation. Romance. A chance to feel normal again.

Yeah… not so much.

Because the swamp has other plans.

Locals don’t like to talk about what lives out there, but Shelby starts to notice things almost immediately. Strange noises in the water. Movement in the trees. The unmistakable feeling that something is watching them… waiting.

At first, she tells herself it’s just her imagination.

Then it follows them.

Then it hunts them.

Now Shelby and her loyal, questionably attractive dog Fugly are trapped in a place where the rules are different, the shadows move on their own, and whatever is stalking them knows the swamp far better than they ever could.

And this time, it isn’t a ghost.

It’s something far more dangerous.

In the swamp, love might get you killed… but curiosity will make sure of it.

Love the Shelby and Fugly series, favorite one so far!!

So far this is my favorite book in the Shelby and Fugly series. Full of mystery, excitement, and character play that kept me engaged from beginning to end. I have always appreciated how informative these books are as well, incorporating real life paranormal theory and terminology, giving the reader not only a great story, but an education in the world of the weird as well! )

Great paranormal series!

I love this series! Every book is a unique paranormal story and the character development is awesome and fun. Favorite character? Montgomery. Of course Fugly is a close second. ) One person found this helpful

Very exciting read. Unexpected adventures on every page turn. You feel like you know each character. What will happen next? )

Another exciting adventure with Shelby and Fugly

I love the Shelby and Fugly! Joni sends us on a another adventure. Her vivid descriptions bring you right into the story, helping you see, hear, smell and feel like you are walking alongside them. An interesting twist to this one is that we experience the story from the perspective of the different characters. Seeing Brock's or Montgomery's point of view added to the feeling of \"being part of the gang\". once again, Joni adds so many twists that you just don't see coming. Just when you think...

Another great read by Joni Mayhan!

Really enjoyed this one! The swamp setting is super atmospheric and creepy in the best way—it honestly feels like a character itself. The story kept me hooked with plenty of suspense and weird, eerie moments. The characters felt real, which made the paranormal elements land even better. If you like spooky, slightly wild creature stories with a strong sense of place, this is definitely worth checking out! )
