We Were Never Really Friends

A gripping horror survival thriller of isolation and revenge, from bestseller Timothy King.

Trapped on an island. Nowhere to hide. The hunt has begun.

For Roger, Jerome, Ryan, and Chris, a trip to a private island mansion off the coast of Louisiana was supposed to be a grand reunion. It was a chance to relive their high school glory days with their wives, fueled by billionaire-status luxury and endless drinks.

But as the sun sets over the bayou, the group realizes that the foundations of their friendship are rotting from years of hidden resentment, infidelity, and cold-blooded secrets.

The vacation turns into a gruesome nightmare when a masked killer emerges from the dense forest. Armed with a bow and a set of elite surgical skills, the hunter begins picking the group off one-by-one, turning the island into a literal killing field. There is no cell service, the boat is sabotaged, and the radio is smashed.

As the body count rises, the survivors must face a terrifying reality: the most dangerous threat isn’t the man in the ghillie suit—it’s the person standing right next to them.

From Timothy King, the bestselling author of Port Luck and Seven Rabbits, experience a gripping thriller of isolation and revenge, where the ghosts of the past come to claim the living.
