About this book

Escaping the confines of Freak Camp was only the beginning for Jake and Tobias. Now, they are trading their prison walls for the open road, embarking on a cross-country journey that forces them into intense, forced-proximity conditions. As they hunt the grisly supernatural threats hiding in America’s shadows, the line between their protective partnership and something much deeper begins to blur.

This gripping installment of the urban fantasy series masterfully blends chilling ghost encounters with a tender, slow-burn M/M romance. While they battle malevolent spirits, Tobias faces an internal war, struggling to shed the identity of the monster he was forced to become. With Jake as his steady anchor, Tobias must navigate the terrifying transition into a human world he never thought he would see, all while fighting the haunting fear that his past might catch up to him.

If you love stories reminiscent of Supernatural, where dark paranormal investigations are paired with emotional healing, this is your next must-read. It is a haunting, evocative exploration of trauma, courage, and the messy, beautiful process of falling in love under extreme pressure. Join Jake and Tobias as they fight for their future, proving that freedom is worth every battle.

Soo good!

October 12, 2023

I absolutely love this series so much! Tobias is so strong, and his determination to move forward and trust in Jake is so beautiful. This was perfect with Tobias helping Jake with hunts and Jake's happiness with Tobia's progress. I loved that their connection is slowly growing, and with Tobia's age, I feel like it's grown at a perfect speed and not too fast. The chapters from freak camp were terrifying because I get the worst feelings about Toby possibly going back, but I'll just hope only good...

On the road

The series is so good. The journey continues with Toby and Jake on the road. You get to see them interact in a different environment and how their personalities start to evolve (in a good way). There’s an adventure, high stakes, tenderness, and strength. Toby is still struggling significantly with the aftermath of the camp, and Jake is trying his hardest to continue to provide a sense of safety. It is the slowest of the burns just FYI. )

A Good Story in These Times

The tale of Jake and Tobias has kept me interested through three books now. It is hard to describe, but some of the story and even the characters remind me of the TV series Supernatural with its dark tales yet hopeful underlying story. The commentary about who is a monster ties in with what we read in the news every day. To have a hopeful relationship in the midst of all that is what keeps me reading this series and asking for more. ) 2 people found this helpful

Great story. The thought behind it all makes this a great book ...and I have read all three. At times it gets heavy, but worth it. Definite be slow burn.. But it's definitely sweet. The relationship between Jake and Tobias is hard, loving, sad... But definitely real so ya...I was doing the happy dance at the end The build up for the other characters has me ready to preorder the next book. Thanks for an awesome read... Can't wait for next installment!!! ) 2 people found this helpful

Finally paid off

October 22, 2023

Freedom overall was a great experience. I will say these first three books have read more like part one, two and three rather than separate individual books. That's more of a word to the wise than a genuine critique. Out of any book I've read, this has to be the best trauma arc i have seen portrayed. I know a lot of people find it excessive, however, in my opinion that's on us for picking a book that was pretty much advertised as trauma p*rn. Tobias and his trauma recovery, despite its...
