A spine-tingling debut about the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse in reverse as a teen struggles to retain hopeâand her sanityâwhile on the run from a cunning and determined killer.
Ruth Carver has always competed like her life depends on it. Ambitious. Tough. Maybe even mean. Itâs no wonder people call her Ruthless.
When she wakes up with a concussion in the bed of a moving pickup trick, she realizes she has been entered into a contest she canât afford to lose.
At a remote, rotting cabin deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ruthâs blindfold comes off and she comes face-to-face with her captor. A man who believes his mission is to punish bad girls like Ruth. A man who has done this six times before.
The other girls were never heard from again, but Ruth wonât go down easy. She escapes into the wilderness, but her hunter is close at her heels. Thatâs when the real battle begins. Thatâs when Ruth must decides just how far sheâll go in order to survive.
Back home, they called her Ruthless. They had no idea just how right they were.
