Through tailored programs and a supportive community, we empower young hearts to rewrite their stories and unlock the potential for a future unburdened by fear, allowing kids to rediscover joy, hope, and the freedom to embrace life to the fullest.

Annie anticipated a life-altering journey, aiding trauma survivors at her grandfather’s camp as a counselor, but her expectations shattered against a macabre reality. Unveiling the tragic pasts of her fellow counselors and the campers under her care, she stumbles upon a world more chilling than her darkest fears. As the summer descends into a terrifying spiral and the camp’s serenity crumbles, they discover that a killer driven by a sinister secret is lurking among them. While those around her are forced to relive the worst experience of their lives and the camp is turned into a hunting ground, Annie faces a haunting uncertainty—will she fall victim to this deranged killer, or will she defy the odds, emerging with her very own survival story, worthy of a proper inhabitant of Camp Safe Woods.

Good story if you’re just looking for a book just to kill some time.

I really like the story but I feel like the narrator could have done a better job. She definitely tried and got better as the story went on but I can’t over look the number of words she mispronounced. To an avid reader it was like nails on a chalkboard. I’m not sure why these mispronunciations weren’t caught by an editor. I feel that in time and with good direction the narrator will definitely get better.

Murder camp murders

I have to say a summer camp for victims that survived murderers is a great idea. The world has a lot of them and you get to hear some stories. I would love another book based on why there are so many murderers to have a camp made. Overall the book was fantastic Matt knows how to build a world and I need more! I will say I figured out who was doing it like halfway through but you will never see the twist at the end coming.

Disappointed

I was looking forward to a more interesting engagement between the killer and the veteran survivors. Apparently survivors are easier to kill than someone who's never experienced an attack before. There could have been all kinds of cool face offs but nope.... just teen drama before standard slasher set pieces. I would give this author another shot if he does a sequel because the set up isn't half bad, but I think there was a lot of interesting characters whose potential was wasted by focusing on the most boring character of Annie. Kinda reminds me of Twilight, tons of interesting characters and events but we focus on two blocks of wood.
