Thriller/own

They thought it would be better to build a new town and really check who comes in, but trouble follows to Haven´s rock.

In this one a 10 year old boy says he saw a bear with human eyes. Everyone is all it was a bear, but then Max goes missing.

There are no hostiles lurking here, instead there are weird miners and security....trouble.

Not easy to hide their town with neighbors like that.

Lots of wandering through the woods and wondering who you can trust. But also some good news that I will not spoil.

I need more. I like these books.

Haven’s Rock is a well-hidden town surrounded by forest. And it’s supposed to be, being that it’s a refuge for those who need to disappear. Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton already feel at home in their new town, which reminds them of where they first met in Rockton. And while they know how to navigate the woods and its various dangers, other residents don’t. Which is why people aren't allowed to wander off alone.

When Max, the town’s youngest resident—taught to track animals by Eric—fears a bear is stalking a hiking party, alarms are raised. Even stranger, the ten-year-old swears the bear had human eyes. Casey and Eric know the dangers a bear can present, so they’re taking it seriously. But odd occurrences are happening all around them, and when a dead body turns up, they’re not sure what they’re up against.
