Hawthorn Lake: Reprisal

A fun-filled weekend of camping, hiking, and searching for a lost gold mine turns into a nightmare for five friends when they stumble upon an ancient evil hidden away for centuries in the snow-covered mountains of the Colorado Rockies.

Michelle Evers has since put the event behind her and moved on to a new life in a new town. She has made friends and enjoys an exciting job as a Sheriff's deputy in the resort town of Hawthorn Lake. But just as she begins to settle in, mysterious events start to unfold, that eerily resemble her past experience.

Michelle soon discovers that the sheriff and his close friend, Troy Turner, harbor a dark secret that could devastate the tourist-driven town. Michelle is forced to make a decision that could thrust her back into the nightmare that has haunted her for so long and push her to the edge of sanity.
Should she face her greatest fears and confront the evil that keeps her awake at night, or should she run and try to start over again somewhere else? Will she survive a second encounter, or will this prove to be a fatal mistake?
