Gray After Dark

A merciless wilderness. A harrowing attack. A desperate escape.

When a tragic accident sidelines Miley's dreams of Olympic gold, she takes a summer job at a mountain guest lodge. The Frank Church Wilderness is remote, but it’s the perfect place to train and recover. Local lore about a staffer who died years ago doesn’t scare her.

But it should.

Miley’s plans take a terrifying detour when she’s abducted during a morning run. Held captive in a desolate off-grid cabin, she’ll have to use her athletic prowess, cunning mind, and courage to survive. But as the nightmare at the cabin escalates, Miley is forced to form an unlikely alliance and attempt a risky escape.

Can she outwit her captors and survive the wilderness before it’s too late?

Inspired by true events, Gray After Dark is a pulse-pounding psychological thriller with a finale that will leave you breathless.

this is my first time not looking up any details on a book and i got to admit it took me for a spin and a half… and come to find out it was based on a true story that happened in the 1980s

Great bookclub read. We all rated 8 and above. Not a spooky read but great thriller. Everyone flew through the audio. Book includes author note with true event details.

Good quick read that you’ll fly through! Not as spooky as others had made it sound but still recommend!
