In a world full of monsters, she must choose: fight the darkness or let it consume her.
Camille Torres survived a living nightmare. Every member of the Band remembers what they went through five years ago, but no one carries the weight like her.
Eight people went missing from their small town. The police said it was a bear attack, but Camille and her friends know the truth, and it’s much worse. Together, the unlikely group of misfits put a stop to the real monster terrorizing their town…Or so they thought.
When Camille returns to Ashbury for the first time since that fateful summer, she must face everything she left behind, including Graham Stevens—the boy who broke her heart. She does her best to avoid him, but it’s hard when he’s part of the friend group, and now she’s the outsider. But it’s only for a week, and as long as she doesn’t let any lingering feelings for him get in the way, she’ll make it out on the other side unscathed. Who knows, maybe they can even learn to get along again—as friends.
But when one of their own goes missing, Camille knows it’s not a coincidence. It’s happening again, but no one believes her, except for Graham, and he isn’t going to let her face it alone. The longer she’s home, the more she can feel it…The darkness she tried to leave behind is awake, and this time, it threatens to consume her.
Separate Ways by Jensen Parker is a paranormal, romantic suspense horror standalone novel set in the late 1980s, releasing on October 16, 2026. Perfect for fans of Supernatural, Stranger Things, and The Mummy (1999).
