It's a Midsommar night's Scream in this thriller set at a remote tech-free healing retreat from author Brian McAuley.

Hannah has been running from her demons ever since the death of her fiance. No one really knows what happened the day Ben died, and she'd like to keep it that way. She's definitely not going to admit to her psychiatrist that she still sees his ghost almost everywhere she goes. So when her friend Tess gets an invitation to a restorative spiritual retreat in Joshua Tree, she reluctantly agrees in search of a fresh start.

Even though she's skeptical of the mysterious Guru Pax and his strange talk of the spirit world, Hannah finds healing through all the yoga, sound baths, and hot springs offered at the tech-free retreat. But what begins as a journey of self-discovery quickly descends into a blood-soaked nightmare when a masked killer begins to pick off the group one by one in increasingly gruesome ways.

As the body count rises and the survivors' sanity frays, Hannah must confront her past while trying to outsmart a relentless predator who's always one step ahead. Now that Hannah's finally found her way back to herself, this monster is going to have to try a little harder if they want to kill her vibe for good.
